The article deals with the problem of teaching students (for whom foreign language is not a specialty) an oral foreign language professional communication. A number of scholars’ woks, including methodologists and linguists devoted to this topic were analyzed. Numerous studies are dedicated to the problem of teaching oral speech in a nonlinguistic university but most of them are often concern only with the initial stage of education. Less attention is given to the problem of teaching senior students professionally oriented oral communication. Professionally oriented teaching refers to training based on the needs of students in teaching a foreign language dictated by the characteristics of the future profession or specialty. It involves the combination of mastering a professionally oriented foreign language with the development of the personal qualities of students as well as with the acquisition of special skills based on professional and linguistic knowledge. It is necessary to highlight the communicative intentions of business communication among other communicative intentions. A typical example of the natural conditions of communication in the specialty is the defense of master's projects. Oral speech during the defense of master's projects is a conversation, a special type of dialogue between the master and the examiner, which is based on the examiner's questions and the master's answers. This type of communication is typical for other situations of communication between specialists. As a result of the study, we came to the conclusion that the basis of the linguistic material in the specialty can be some complexes of information on certain topics composed of texts of different types of technical literature and presented not only in the form of printed sources but also audiovisual materials. The topics of oral speech, the choice of speech means to a large extent will be determined by the range of so-called selected problem questions-tasks. Training specialists in a non-linguistic university is carried out within a limited time as well as on a rather limited material therefore mastering spontaneous speech is quite problematic.

The problems of the relationship between language and society attract the attention of researchers from different countries representing various scientific areas: philosophy, history, biology, linguistics, theology, pedagogy, psychology, etc. This study actualizes the sociological approach to the study of the social determinants of the formation of polylingualism as a means of professional communication. According to the sociological results, about 70% of the world's population, to one degree or another, speaks two or more languages, which imposes additional obligations on workers providing international professional communications (Beacco, 2002). Modern multilingual interaction should not be one-sidedly understood only as a borrowing of professional foreign language terminology. It includes the social background of the linguistic material: traditions, mimic and pantomimic codes, the national picture of the world - and becomes the most important factor in professionalization. Methods of systemic and functional analysis, comparison. generalization and collection of empirical data (expert interviews, content analysis).

Purpose: To acquaint with the methodology of teaching master's students Russian as a foreign language in the fields of business and professional communication; to substantiate the need to implement the "Scientific Speech" section into the course curriculum. Methods: both analytical and explanation methods, making it possible to analyze approaches to the study of the course "Foreign Business Language" by different researchers and methodologists, in order to consider and propose a new approach to teaching the course "Foreign Business Language". Results: The section "Scientific Speech" included into the course curriculum is relevant for foreign master’s students since it promotes development of language competencies (understanding of scientific and technical literature, solving professional problems in a foreign (Russian) language, implementation of written and oral communication for academic and professional interaction). Conclusions: The article notes that the course "Foreign Business Language" should include not only written forms of business communication, but also the scientific style. Professionally oriented texts with pre-text and post-text exercises facilitate the learning of the course curriculum and they are essential components for in-depth comprehension of the scientific style. Training in written forms of business communication is carried out by means of content of formal documents that are relevant in the framework of educational or scientific activities (e.g. order, certificate, memorandum and explanatory note, informational letter, accompanying letter, motivational letter and letter of gratitude).

A foreign language teacher can face a number of difficulties in training students of a transport university. Peculiarities of linguistic training dictate the list of professional competences formed in students. Thus, proceeding from Federal Educational Standard and employers’ requirements, it is possible to speak about the need to form students’ foreign-language communicative competence (linguistic competence, in particular) studying English at the level of professional communication. However, before defining the best strategy of teaching a foreign language, students’ personal qualities must be studied. The present article considers diagnostics and subsequent analysis of personal and motivational characteristics of students. The study was based on the following hypothesis: transport university students, regardless of their age, have similar leading personal characteristics. Taking into account the objective, subject and hypothesis, the methodology by A.G. Gretsov «Big Five» of personal qualities» was chosen for the study. It is based on the personality model by R. McCray and P. Cost (1983-1985). A large number of variations in the diagnostics techniques for the «big five» personality features in different languages make it possible to suggest that the «big five» (extroversion, neuroticism, openness, consciousness, benevolence) does contain universal key characteristics that provide an opportunity to «see» the personality and predict its behavior. Having considered the information obtained after the analysis of the results of the «Big Five» test, we can note that students of the studied training program are distinguished by two leading characteristics which are openness to new experience and neuroticism. It may be also noted that, growing older, students become more emotionally stable. Over time, such characteristic as neuroticism decreases, but the increase in the amount of students with such characteristic as consciousness is also recorded.

This article is devoted to the problem of using Russian time-prepositions by foreigners, especially by the Chinese. An analysis of modern literature allows the author to identify the main areas of the work aimed at foreign students’ development of the skills and abilities to correctly build the prepositional combinations and continuously improve the communication skills by means of the Russian language. In this paper, the time-prepositions in the Russian language have been analyzed in detail; some examples of polysemantic use of prepositions, their semantic and stylistic shades alongside with possible errors made by foreign students are presented. The results of the study are to help in developing a system of teaching Russian time-prepositions to a foreign language audience, taking into account their native language, on the basis of the systemic and functional, communicative and activity-centred basis. The role of Russian time-prepositions in constructing word combinations has been identified; the need for foreign students’ close attention to this secondary part of speech has been specified. It has been stated that prepositions are the most dynamic and open type of secondary language units within the quantitative and qualitative composition of which regular changes take place. The research substantiates the need that students should be aware of the function of time-preposition in speech; they are to get acquainted with the main time-prepositions and their meanings, to distinguish prepositions and other homonymous parts of speech as well as to learn stylistic shades of time-prepositions. Some recommendations related to the means of mastering time-prepositions have been given: to target speakers to assimilate modern literary norms and, therefore, to teach them how to choose and use them correctly by means of linguistic keys that are intended to fill the word with true meaning, to give it an organic structure, an inherent form and an easy combinability in the texts and oral speech.
