“…Adequate intercultural communication requires the knowledge of values and rules of a partner's nation (Sazhina, 2017). Thus, teachers of language disciplines should be able to transfer knowledge in the course of modelling polylogues and dialogues in L2, in particular, via e-learning tools (Tsagari & Vogt, 2017;Mukhametgaliyeva & Ilyashenko, 2020).…”

The relevance of the topic under study resulted from the increase in academic migration across the globe, and in particular, across Russia. The present research was aimed at investigating the formation of international university students’ readiness for intercultural communication and identifying pedagogical conditions for its realisation. The article set the task to consider the intercultural communication of university students not only as a means of teaching but also as an opportunity to live and work in the sociocultural space of Russia. The study provided an analysis of the intercultural communication proficiency of 54 international students of the pedagogical university from three CIS countries. As a result, it was found that students’ desire to comprehend and use the provided learning material encourages them to study Russian. Moreover, it was noted that the process of obtaining professionally important information contributes to the development of written and oral communication skills. The paper delivered an argument that the study of Russian as a foreign language helps students to expand future career prospects and improves their professional abilities (according to the test results, an average of 39% of participants reached a moderate level of language proficiency, and 37% reached an advanced level). Besides, the article designated the necessary conditions for the realisation of intercultural communication as the formation of students’ individual learning trajectory, the use of interactive training methods, and the provision of students’ self-control in the process of gaining competence for intercultural communication. The obtained study outcomes make it possible to prepare and test a set of specially designed tasks essential for the effective preparation of university students for intercultural communication. Research findings can be used during the practical work of teachers of Russian as a foreign language in higher and secondary educational institutions, as well as during the work in the field of intercultural communication.Key words: individual educational trajectory; intercultural communication; international student; organizational stage; pedagogical conditions--- Važnost proučavane teme proizlazi iz povećanja globalne akademske migracije, posebno u Rusiji. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je proučiti oblikovanje spremnosti međunarodnih sveučilišnih studenata za međukulturnu komunikaciju i utvrditi pedagoške uvjete za njezinu realizaciju. Zadatak rada je razmotriti međukulturnu komunikaciju sveučilišnih studenata ne samo kao sredstva poučavanja, nego kao priliku za život i rad u sociokulturnom prostoru Rusije. U istraživanju se analizirala međukulturna komunikacija 54 međunarodna studenta pedagoškoga sveučilišta iz tri zemlje članice CIS-a. Rezultati pokazuju da želja studenata za razumijevanjem i upotrebom danoga materijala za učenje potiče njihovo učenje ruskoga jezika. Štoviše, primijećeno je da proces stjecanja profesionalno važnih informacija doprinosi razvoju pisanih i usmenih komunikacijskih vještina. Ovaj rad argumentira činjenicu da učenje ruskoga kao stranoga jezika pomaže studentima da povećaju mogućnosti budućega zaposlenja i poboljšaju osobne stručne sposobnosti (prema rezultatima testa, 39 % sudionika dosegnulo je umjerenu razinu jezične sposobnosti, a 37 % naprednu razinu). Osim toga, u ovom radu su određeni nužni uvjeti za ostvarivanje međukulturne komunikacije: individualni put učenja studenata, upotreba interaktivnih metoda učenja i postizanje samokontrole pri oblikovanju spremnosti za međukulturnu komunikaciju. Dobiveni rezultati istraživanja omogućuju pripremu i testiranje niza posebno dizajniranih zadataka važnih za učinkovito obrazovanje međunarodnih sveučilišnih studenata za međukulturnu komunikaciju. Rezultati istraživanja mogu se koristiti u praktičnom radu učitelja ruskoga kao stranoga jezika u institucijama visokoga i srednjoškolskoga obrazovanja, kao i tijekom rada u području međukulturne komunikacije.

“…The modular technology is implemented in accordance with the principle of modularity, structuring the content of training, dynamism, method of activity, flexibility (rapid response), conscious perspective, versatility of methodical counseling and parity [20; 22], so that the technology is universal and can be used in teaching of a wide range of subjects, such as use of a graphical package of programs [9], in teaching electrical engineering and electronics [12], innovative engineering [17], mathematics [27]. In recent years, modular technology has increasingly been approached by context developers involved in foreign language training, for example, in profession-oriented education [8]; e-teaching English [25], when teaching English at pre-university courses [24], when creating a textbook in English for nonphilologists [6], in teaching English grammar [26], in teaching French [23], in RFL teaching at the elementary level [5], in teaching Russian grammar [13; 16], when profession-oriented RFL teaching [19].…”

In the conditions of a substantial increase in the number of foreign students in the universities of the Russian Federation in recent years especially relevant research of studying ways to increase the effectiveness of the formation of the communicative competence of this contingent of students in the educational and scientific sphere of communication at the stage of pre-university training. Professionally oriented teaching in groups of the humanitarian profile has its own specific features, due to the conditions of study, in which students who have chosen humanitarian areas of a fairly wide range can study in one group. The purpose of this paper is to describe the student body studying at the stage of pre-university training at Russian as a Foreign Language Center of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU HSIEP RFLC), to find out their educational route and degree of conformity of the scientific prose style course, which is prepared based on traditional approaches, to communicative needs relevant to future majors of the students, and to propose and to present an argument for a more effective technology of modular education. As methods of scientific research, the work used the method of analysis of scientific sources devoted to the competence approach to teaching, professionally oriented teaching of Russian as a foreign language and modular technology. Also, the questionnaire method allowed us to obtain data as a result of a survey of 154 students of the pre-university training program of SPbPU HSIEP RFLC. On the basis of theoretical analysis, it has been established that, within the competence-based approach, professionally oriented training in groups of the humanitarian profile at the stage of pre-university training should take place taking into account the communication needs that are relevant for future specialties of students. Empirical method of study allowed identifying a list of future majors of pre-graduate training program trainees, the top of which are the following: linguistics (46%), foreign area studies (24%), majors related to art and culture (8%), psychological and educational majors (8%), law (6%), advertising and public relations (5%). Also a low level of foreign students’ satisfaction (39%) with the content of scientific prose style course based on traditional technology of mass group learning, which preconditions the need to use an innovative modular technology in teaching and learning process. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the description of the process of pre-university training of foreign students in humanitarian groups through the prism of the foundations of modular education. According to the authors, modular training will allow to quickly vary the content aspect of training, focusing on the communicative needs of a certain humanitarian direction.
