“…This builds up a complex picture of limited exchange across our sites of knowledge production, mirroring Mikhail Bakhtin's idea of centrifugal and centripetal forces that push scholars towards the adherence to national and local norms respectively (see Korotkina, 2018, p. 314). The process of internationalisation of knowledge production continues to be defined by asymmetrical power relations in citation and publishing practices, both for Area Studies and other disciplines more broadly (Romanova, 2015; Trubina et al, 2020).…”

“…In fact, the necessity to publish the results of their research in another language urges modern scientists to both master their language skills and comply with the rules of foreign writing traditions [12]. Traditions of academic writing, for example, differ greatly in Russian and in English but the scholars have to spend a sufficient amount of time to write their articles in a "western" manner to get visibility in on a global scale.…”

In the age of globalization, when all the world is striving for unification, there are special issues that need to be addressed. One of them is the linguistic dominance of European languages (namely English) known as linguistic imperialism which suggests bringing structural and cultural inequalities between languages. Learning a foreign language is closely connected with accepting foreign cultural codes, ideas, practices, and so on making them extremely meaningful to an individual. Here there is a problem of preserving native culture, its values and ideas, which learners have to learn to transfer by means of another language. Learners of the modern English as a foreign language (EFL) are referred to as generation Z and see language skills as a tool necessary to function efficiently in the world. Psychological features of the whole new generation suggest that learners are aware of cultural differences and heritage and are supportive of cultural diversity. In such a case foreign language teachers have to take into account cultural aspects in the educational process and help their learners shape their mindset being protective of their native culture. This brings us to a new function a foreign language teacher acquires, i.e. being a culture preserver. The key is to find the balance in teaching and be sensitive towards the aspects of both native culture of an individual and foreign culture they learn when dealing with another language.

“…The problems faced by multilingual scholars in mastering academic discourse in English is now the focus of specific research [12][13][14]. As more nations join international publishing, a new branch of English for Research Publication Purposes arises as a methodology of teaching academics and scholars [12], and Russia is one of the countries that needs to develop this methodology [15].…”

Classical elements permeate global academic discourse and scientific terminology. Understanding the meanings and functioning of these elements can help multilingual scholars cope with disciplinary literature and write for publication and is therefore essential in teaching English for academic and specific purposes. However, few manuals on academic vocabulary explore word-formation in-depth or use it as a tool to alleviate learning through analysis and synthesis rather than memorizing words. Russian, as many other European languages, is a synthetic language in which affixation is as productive as in Latin. The paper presents a well-designed and approbated course of academic vocabulary for social scientists, analyses relationships between linguistic studies and teaching academic vocabulary, and discusses the ways of increasing the effectiveness and clarity of teaching by more systematic study of classical elements, enhancing students’ analytical skills through innovative methodology and using the advantages of similarities between Russian and Latin word-formation. Comparative analysis demonstrates that the key features of the course, such as interactive computer-based visual materials and various analytical tasks involving students’ background knowledge and academic awareness, help students not only decipher unknown words, but also produce neologisms, which is essential in coping with new terminology. Published as a book, Academic Vocabulary for Social Sciences is now available for teachers, students and researchers as a resource for study and self-study. The effectiveness of the approach demonstrates that it can be used as a model to design similar specific vocabulary courses for students of other synthetic languages.
