Introduction. The purpose of this study is to analyze the ethical and linguo-didactic aspects of the virtual educational space of higher education. The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a catalyst for the transition of education to an online format. Of course, most educational institutions and teachers were forced to quickly adapt the methods and forms of online organization of the educational process. The issue of online education has long been considered from the scientific and practical sides, but such a quick and forced transition to online revealed a number of problems and features of online communication. One of the most significant is the problem of the ethics of online communication in education.Methodology and sources. The theoretical base of the study is represented by the works of Russian and foreign authors in the field of pedagogy of the Higher School (I.V. Robert, I.P. Kuzheleva-Sagan), the theory of generations (N. Howe and W. Strauss, D. and I. Stillman, Shamis) and intercultural communications (G. Hoftede).The empirical base of the study was data obtained during interviews with teachers (23) and students (27) of a higher school (semi-structured, random sample), analysis of the content of educational chats and visual analysis of student avatars (625) used in Zoom.Results and discussion. The article outlines the directions of research into the problems of ethics in the process of online education. On the basis of empirical data, the authors record the transfer of an informal style of communication into the format of educational communication with a teacher, which is spontaneously emotional in nature. The authors make the assumption that the regulation of communication processes had an optional and often non-mandatory format. Particular attention is paid to the understanding and perception of the ethical norms of communication by representatives of different generations.Conclusion. The synchronous format of educational communication in the online format has other syntactic, semantic and stylistic features that differ from the previously generally accepted academic language. In the future, this issue requires a comprehensive consideration not only from the communication and ethical side, but also from the point of view of legal and information security. It is necessary to form ethical standards for online teaching.
The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a catalyst for the transition of education to an online format. Clearly, most educational institutions and teachers were forced to adapt methods and forms of online educational process on the short notice. The issue of online education has long been considered from the scientific and practical sides, however, such a quick and forced transition to online revealed the problems, features and potential of online communication. The ethics of online communication in education is one of the most significant issues. The development of the information environment initiated the emergence of an educational multicultural environment, which entailed a certain kind of systemic changes, which, one way or another, will be reflected in the transformation of the elements of the information and educational environment (IEE) organization. This applies to both the traditional format of education and online educational practices. There is a number of specific features of multicultural educational environment that do not occur in monocultural environments: non-identical professional thesauri, various habitual communication patterns with a teacher, representation of educational information and educational content specifics, decision-making specifics, the attitude to creative tasks performing in the process of learning, ambiguous understanding of learning objectives, terminology, preferred type of control and measuring materials, etc.

Introduction. This paper is aimed at analyzing the songs of the British group “The Beatles”, and the songs of the Russian artist, poet and singer V. Vysotsky for the purpose of their soft skills representation. The relevance of the work is determined by the general, keen interest to the formation and development of social competences as the foundation of improving successful interpersonal relations in the 21st century. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time the study of soft skills was carried out on the basis of the creative work of the prominent representatives of the Russian and British musical culture of the past century.Methodology and sources. Due to the fact that the musical creativity of "The Beatles" and V. Vysotsky was considered primarily from the standpoint of linguistic material, the research methodology was based on the principles of linguistic text analysis, such as methods of component, cognitive and discourse analysis. In addition, the paper analyzes the works of domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the basic principles of the formation and development of soft skills of a person today.Results and discussion. The article demonstrates a new, non-standard approach when working with the mastery and training of soft skills. The development of creative abilities directly depends on the emotional response that the material evokes. Music compositions have a more intense impact on a person, because they combine two components: lyrics and tune. Therefore, the analysis of songs can serve as an additional source of improving creative thinking. Comparison of soft skills representation in Russian and English songs did not reveal any clear distinctive national features of the skills under consideration, which once again proves their universality.Conclusion. The study of artistic images and metaphors presented in the lyrics of both Russian and English singers can form the basis of a new methodological approach aimed at developing non-standard, creative thinking, which can be applied at various levels of the educational process.
Introduction. The authors of the research aimed to determine the level of students' interest in foreign languages, leading motives, as well as the presence of difficulties arising under the study of a foreign language. The importance of motivation in the process of learning foreign languages in a non-linguistic university is emphasized.Methodology and sources. The authors of the research describe the questionnaire survey and analysis of the results obtained in its course. This research involved 267 students of 1–2 courses of the Pharmaceutical Faculty of the Saint Petersburg State Chemical and Pharmaceutical University.Results and discussion. The modern pharmaceutical industry is actively developing, which implies the exchange of technology and knowledge between representatives of different countries. Most pharmaceutical companies have subsidiaries all over the world. A demanded employee needs to have the skill of effective intercultural dialogue in this professional field. In recent decades, the role of foreign languages has increased all over the world, and the necessity to know them is generally recognized.Conclusion. The paper has shown the level of the development of motivation for learning a foreign language by students in order to further increase the level of development of their motivation in the learning foreign languages. The conclusion was made that student motivation stands out as one of the main factors in achieving success in both educational and professional activities and, therefore, should be a priority for all teachers.
