Teaching Foreign Speakers Algorithms for Working With a General Scientific Text: Initial Stage of Preparation

The article presents the technology of comprehensive work with general scientific text while studying the language of specialty by foreign students of engineering and technical field of preparation at the pre-university stage.The relevance of the study is determined by the scientific, theoretical and practical significance of the problems associated with the formation of competencies of foreigners necessary for communication in educational, scientific and professional spheres. The difficulty of foreign speakers’ perception of lexical and grammatical structures, understanding of an educational general scientific text and its production require teachers to use an effective methodological apparatus already at the stage of pre-university preparation.The novelty and scientific value of the research lies in the development of a system for working with the text in the language of specialty using tables and schemes that stimulate cognitive activity. The development and testing of a system for working with general scientific text using schemes that stimulate cognitive activity was carried out on the basis of Southwest State University as part of teaching the language of specialty to foreign students of e engineering and technical field of preparation at the pre-university stage.In the process of research, theoretical, empirical, pedagogical methods were used, such as analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, modeling, as well as observation of the educational process. The technology of comprehensive work with general scientific text is presented on the material of the text “Classification of inorganic substances”, studied in the topic “Classification of objects and phenomena” in the course of the discipline “Language of the educational and scientific sphere of communication” (engineering and technical field of preparation).The presented technology for working with general scientific text using tables and schemes contributes to the effective achievement of educational goals, development of student’s professional and communicative competence.
