Linguistic and methodological foundations for training international students in written diplomatic discourse

Abstract

In the article, the authors solve the problem of teaching professionally oriented communication in Russian to foreign international students. The paper presents the development of an appropriate linguistic methodological system for teaching written business diplomatic discourse to foreign students studying International Relations. In order to build an effective and efficient model for teaching business discourse to international students, the communicative needs of foreign students were studied, taking into account the realities of the current situation, which made it possible to select the most relevant genres of diplomatic correspondence as the dominant type of activity of a specialist in the field of international relations; experimental training was carried out, which showed that the most effective assimilation of the genre features of diplomatic correspondence and the relevance of the text to a particular genre occurs as a result of systematization and differentiation of features; substantiates the need to create a lexical minimum in the field of international relations; fragments of the self-assessment table and checklists of self-assessment of the achieved results were developed and presented.

The paper concludes that the success of educational and cognitive activity is closely related to the flexibility of the learning system and the possibility of adjustment at all its stages. A necessary component of educational activities in teaching the Russian language as a means of business communication is the control of the gradual formation of communicative intercultural and professional competencies among foreign students.
