Training of highly qualified specialists is a significant factor for the consistent progress in any branch of economics. Kemerovo State University provides training of specialists for the coal mining region in Russia. Nowadays, the University tends to increase the proportion of foreign students as well. Most of these are students from neighboring countries, such as Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, where raw materials industries, including mining, are developed. Taking into account the multi-ethnic diversity of students at Kemerovo State University, we analyzed the experience and determined the worthwhile forms of organizing independent activity in EFL teaching. Among the forms of independent activity, we introduced independent reading, preparing thematic presentations, written tasks based on video content, and writing thematic essays. Organizing independent work in the educational process, which involves a large number of multinational groups of students, we took into account the following conditions. We considered such particular qualities of contemporary students as their general need in flexible learning environment as well as in self-expression; we took into account their interest in new knowledge and motivation for self- improvement, and at the same time, lack of desire for completing reproductive types of tasks, along with fragmented thinking.

This paper considers the problem of blended learning as a means of foreign students’ integration into higher school environment. This process is not that simple, it demands special methods to help foreign students to be integrated easily. The use of blended learning in education facilitates easy students’ integration and leads to positive learning results. However, the application of blended learning is connected with challenges both educators and foreign students can face. The aim of the article is to consider and assess the use of blended learning at the lessons of English implemented into a university educational process. For that purpose, we applied such methods as a needs analysis (among lecturers of English from South Ural State University), a questionnaire and an interview (among three groups of students from similar bachelor’s programs). The findings show that the majority of those surveyed do understand the importance of blended learning as a means of foreign students’ integration, but they are not familiar with the types and how to use them. Based on the results of this analysis, the authors applied blended learning into the process of English teaching, such as flipped classroom, station rotation, and a new online language development course, “Methodological support to the textbook by McCarthy, M. “Touchstone”. The drawn conclusions indicate that blended learning allows not only to boost foreign language skills, but to promote easy foreign students’ integration into the educational process of the university.

Social and economic welfare in Kuzbass as a coal mining region is provided through the development of human capital. This task is accomplished via education and training, enabling improved levels of quality and production at coal mining enterprises. Therefore, the increasing requirements for University graduates imply the need of new forms and updated content in students’ cognitive activity development. The main goal of our research is to identify and justify the conditions for developing students’ cognitive activity in the process of their studying at the University in coal mining region. The article presents data from a study carried out among students and teachers of Kemerovo State University, the largest institution of higher education in Kuzbass. During the research, special attention was paid to implementing the problem-based learning, which allowed students to enhance their activities at lectures, seminars, and in preparing for classes. The results of the study showed progress in students’ independent cognitive activity and their self-motivated attitude to the process of learning due to several factors. The activity of students largely depends on the teachers’ proficiency in supporting, guiding, and monitoring the learning process, as well as on the teaching methods they use. The growth of human capital in terms of higher education becomes a key determinant of the coal mining region’s sustainable development.

The article examines the process of transformation of Ukrainian universities into centers of community transformation in the conditions of decentralization on the example of Mariupol State University (MSU). The conditions in which MSU operates after 2014-2015 are considered. The defining directions of the university development that influence the development of the community are analyzed, in particular: the work of the educational center "Donbass-Ukraine" MSU, research, implementation of international research projects of the university, training of foreign students. The contribution of Mariupol City Council and Donetsk Regional State Administration to the development of MSU is analyzed. The article draws the following conclusions: firstly, modern Ukrainian universities in the context of decentralization are becoming centers of community transformation. Secondly, in 2014–2015, the universities of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts found themselves in completely new conditions. Three universities have moved to Mariupol (8 in total today), competition between the institutions of higher education has increased enormously, as the number of graduates is about 2,000 each year, there is an outflow of students from MSU, including foreign ones, international contacts, trips and events have been limited. Thirdly, in an effort to ensure transparency of governance and attract financial resources for development from international institutions, the city develops and implements strategies for its development. Universities actively provide the necessary scientific and professional expertise in the preparation of such documents. The example of Mariupol also shows that universities are given an important part of the Strategy to increase the number of foreign students, increase the number of students to 10% of the population, develop the material and technical base of the institutions of higher education, and create conditions for the most talented graduates to stay in Mariupol. The implementation of these provisions ultimately provides additional revenues to the city budget, training of highly qualified specialists for the economy of the city and region, attracting the results of scientific research of university scientists for the needs of the city and region and more. The implementation of these provisions ultimately provides additional revenues to the city budget, training of highly qualified specialists for the economy of the city and region, attracting the results of scientific research of university scientists for the needs of the city and region and more. Fourthly, MSU, in its new environment, has transformed threats into opportunities by making community development and transformation one of its main tasks. These issues were included in the MSU Development Strategy until 2025. Fifthly, the defining areas of university development that affect the development of the community, including socio-economic, its transformation, contribute to the reintegration of the occupied territories is the work of the educational center "Donbass-Ukraine" MSU, research, scientific support of police power and local government, international university projects, training of foreign students.
