The objective of the research is to outline the modern multilingualism and internationalization issues of the educational process through the practical implementation of the new ESP ideas at the Northern (Arctic) Federal University. We pay special attention to the key foreign language competencies and skills development of future professionals. The experimental part of the research included implementation of “The Arctic Quest”, designed by Zhanna Elukova for ESP lessons, and developing criteria for foreign language mastering skills assessment necessary for being involved effectively into the multilingual and cross-cultural educational interaction. The methods used are a pedagogical experiment and the analysis of the experiment results. The results of the research show that implementing Arctic content into ESP lessons and after class activities allows stimulating and motivating the students for the autonomous learning, and involving the undergraduates into the multilingualism education process through ESP class activities.

The article deals with presentation strategies for the target language country image, with foreign textbooks of Russian as material for analysis. Methods used in cognitive linguistics and cultural linguistics (concept and context analysis) have been used to reveal mono-, biand multiculturalism strategies used in foreign textbooks of Russian for the Russian reality treatment. The authors highlight the importance of the multiculturalism strategy for creating a system of knowledge and an image of Russia for students learning Russian outside the Russian Federation. The article emphasizes the best productivity of the multiculturalism strategy for developing cross-cultural competences in students. The authors define ways and means of the target language country image presentation: on the levels of text (verbal and polymodal) and nomination, point out most important demands to modern textbooks of Russian for foreign students, make methodological recommendations to authors of textbooks of Russian as a foreign language, and, using materials from some textbooks, indicate frequent mistakes made by authors of textbooks.

. Animated films used in teaching foreign languages are an informative visual aid that facilitates linguistic and cultural competence development. This paper presents procedures of introducing and methods of working with animated films in a foreign language classroom. Using the theory of precedence, the author analyzes the precedent phenomena in the Russian folk tales reflected in animation. Knowledge of the precedent phenomena (image names, situations, utterances) of one's own and other cultures, their comparison and comprehension in a flow of authentic speech is a precondition for non-native speakers' successful communication with representatives of other languages and cultures. Multicultural communication implies learning vocabulary, grammar and background cultural information of a foreign language and comparing them to those of a native language. The author highlights a necessity to develop new teaching resources in addition to the existing scenarios of working with videos, including with regard to the multicultural aspect.

. The Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Saint Petersburg State University provides its students a chance of taking Language and Thinking course first taught in Russian in the first semester and then in English in the third semester. In both cases Writing to Read interactive teaching techniques are used, which makes a comparative study of efficiency of teaching 21st Century Skills an easier task. The first semester classes are monolingual though multicultural with students from Russia as well as from CIS and former USSR republics. Students from Europe and the USF join Language and Thinking classes in the third semester, thus making them both multilingual and multicultural where EMI is the only possible means of instruction. Based on the aims of the research the analysis of students’ interviews, achievement tests and reflective works was carried out. Another method used in the research was a survey of students who attended the courses by means of course-assessing questionnaires. The study shows that while Russian and EMI can be estimated as approximately equal in ensuring the objectives of both courses, it was the course taught in English that made the students be more language aware and more self-reflective towards their mother tongue as well as English .

The article is concerned with the study of ethnic identity of adolescent Nenets girls as representatives of the indigenous peoples inhabiting the Russian High North. The authors report the findings of empirical research conducted in reliance upon the Ethnic Identity Types approach developed by G.U. Soldatova and S.V. Ryzhova. The paper describes dynamics in the development of ethnonihilism, ethnic indifference, positive ethnic identity, ethnic egoism, ethno-isolationism, and ethnofanaticism in the Nenets girls during their adolescent years (aged 12 to 15). The article identifies the peculiarities of ethnic identity of the Nenets girls as compared to that of the similar age Russian girls residing in the Arkhangelsk Region of the Russian Federation. The authors define the specifics of the learning environment typical for the adolescent representatives of the High North indigenous peoples.

The problems of implementing individual multilingualism in language creativity are studied in the paper. They are based on two works written by the émigré writer Yevgeny Gagarin. They were published in German under the pseudonym of Andrei Rusinov in 1936 in Germany. The goal is to study the types and functions of code-switching in a memoir discourse from the standpoint of contact linguistics. The subject of the research is the structural, pragmatic and stylistic features of switching from German to Russian, French, English, Latin and some other languages as guest languages in Yevgeny Gagarin's German-language works. The possibilities of using the multilingual didactics in the literature of memoirs are shown on the example of the writer's linguistic creativity.

The paper deals with the phenomenon of the Soviet community, which was one of the main components of nation building issues in the USSR. Nowadays, there is an increasing interest in the nature of the ‘united soviet people’ phenomenon. Whether it was a mere ideological stamp and what connection, if any, it may still have with a contemporary reality are the questions yet to be answered. The authors of the article set the task to examine under what conditions the concept emerged, evolved and to envisage its possible transformation in the future. The purpose of the paper is to give assessment to the concept of the Soviet people, its emergence, transformation and return to a political agenda of Russian politics and its research.

Language learning provides vast opportunities for formation and development of multicultural personality since language is a source and method of learning culture. However, sometimes this process may be hindered by lack of crosses between cultural awareness and negative pragmatic transfer resulting in culture shock. Cross-linguistic influence makes learners transfer their pragmatic and sociocultural knowledge from their native language into a target language without differentiating them. From this point of view, the speech act of request presents one of the areas that due to cultural and linguistic specifics of the Russian language might with great possibility be affected by negative pragmatic transfer on the part of Englishspeaking RFL learners. This paper contains results of research aimed at answering the question whether negative pragmatic transfer influences the production of Russian requests by English-speaking students and, if not, what other factors may hinder this process. The findings show that negative pragmatic transfer is an important but not the sole factor jeopardizing students' production of Russian requests. What is much more important is students' insufficient knowledge of means to express requests in the Russian language, which are vital in terms of pragmatics, i.e. linguistic means that affect politeness of requests in a positive or negative way, as well as a range of standard constructions for requesting in communicative situations with different sociolinguistic variables. Thus, developing pragmatic competence in this sphere can be a key factor facilitating cross-cultural awareness and formation of multicultural personality through language
