Academic discourse education in case of foreign language education is one of the most important components of forming foreign language communicative competence focused on forming certain professional skills and abilities of linguistics students. We propose the definition of the term academic discourse, which refers to the process and result of a normatively organized professionally oriented verbal and written interaction for educational purposes, possessing both linguistic and extralinguistic properties. The nomenclature of the skills of oral and written acade-mic discourse developed among students at different stages of education includes the following skills in written speech: writing an essay on a given topic, a paper, a summary, an autobiography, a text of a speech or a report, drawing up a poster report, writing a term paper, a scientific article and diploma qualification thesis. The nomenclature includes speaking skills, such as learning to speak at seminars, conferences, educational discussions, presentations, presentation of coursework and diploma thesis, participation in discussion of lecture questions. Characteristics of academic discourse on the components proposed by V.I. Karasik: participants in the internal stage of scientific communication with a division into agents and clients, chronotype, aim, value, strategy with optional tasks, materials, genre features, precedent texts and discursive formulas are developed in the study. We develop the subject content of teaching academic discourse to students in linguistics specialization.

The article deals with the implementation of communicative exercises in foreign language classes to improve the foreign language speaking competence of prospective teachers. The relevance of the article is determined by the need to consider the outlined problem for increasing the level of English language proficiency in order to personal and career prospects of prospective teachers. The purpose of the article is a theoretical and practical justification for the use of communicative exercises in the study of English in foreign language classes for prospective teachers in higher education. To achieve this goal it is necessary to solve the following tasks: 1) to analyze the efficiency of using communicative tasks to improve students’ foreign language speaking competence; 2) to offer exercises for communication, which provide for the creation of life situations of foreign language communication; 3) to substantiate the efficiency of using these exercises to improve foreign language speaking competence of future teachers. To achieve this purpose the following research methods are used in the scientific article: generalization, analysis and synthesis, descriptive method, which allow to consider in detail the proposed problem and come to important conclusions. It is determined that the specificity of learning a foreign language is to create an artificial language environment, which is absent in practice in most cases. Foreign language space is extremely important for the realization of one of the factors influencing the acquisition of a foreign language – the speed of establishing associative language connections. It is found out that in the communicative environment both the conscious training of vocabulary and grammar, and the necessary language tools accumulate during communicative activities intuitively. The speed of appropriate language reactions, a sense of language are developed in this activity (phonetic, lexical, grammatical aspects). The permanent search for new teaching aids, the development of more effective methods of work are of practical importance for increasing the student’s motivation to learn a foreign language and automate the experience of its using. The proposed types of communication exercises create the most adequate conditions for the formation of language skills, stimulate the mechanisms of involuntary memorization, as well as provide for the solution of certain methodological, linguistic and psychological problems.

In the context of the development of home public administration, the implementation of research in terms of providing a meaningful description of the principles of the rule of law and legality in order to comply with them and ensure the activities of public authorities is becoming relevant. Therefore, the purpose of the scientific article is to implement a terminological analysis of the principles of the rule of law and legality in the activities of public administration, as an important condition for the development of public administration. The article considers terminological issues related to the definition of the essence of the concepts «rule of law», «legality», «public administration», by analyzing scientific papers and legal documents. Particular attention is paid to the definitions contained in the norms of international and European acts concerning the definition of the content of the principles of the rule of law and legality, which allowed distinguishing the relevant international and European understanding of the conceptual foundations of these concepts. It is established that at the present stage of development of the institution of public administration in the European doctrine the principle of the rule of law prevails, which is not identified with the principle of legality, as it is included in the list of relevant requirements for the implementation of the first one. The relationship between the rule of law and the rule of legality is shown, given their close relationship, formed in the process of evolution at different times during the development of social relations. As a result of research of scientific literature and normative-legal sources, it is offered to consider legality in activity of public administration in a wide public-administrative context through a prism of regulation of the state-authoritative influence on society for the purpose of its ordering. Since the vector of the rule of law and legality is aimed at both public authorities and society, it is assumed that the adoption of these principles in society involves the implementation of the requirements set out in the article to ensure compliance with public administration.

     Plagiarism Detection Systems play an important role in revealing instances of a plagiarism act, especially in the educational sector with scientific documents and papers. The idea of plagiarism is that when any content is copied without permission or citation from the author. To detect such activities, it is necessary to have extensive information about plagiarism forms and classes. Thanks to the developed tools and methods it is possible to reveal many types of plagiarism. The development of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the availability of the online scientific documents lead to the ease of access to these documents. With the availability of many software text editors, plagiarism detections becomes a critical issue. A large number of scientific papers have already investigated in plagiarism detection, and common types of plagiarism detection datasets are being used for recognition systems, WordNet and PAN Datasets have been used since 2009. The researchers have defined the operation of verbatim plagiarism detection as a simple type of copy and paste. Then they have shed the lights on intelligent plagiarism where this process became more difficult to reveal because it may include manipulation of original text, adoption of other researchers' ideas, and translation to other languages, which will be more challenging to handle. Other researchers have expressed that the ways of plagiarism may overshadow the scientific text by replacing, removing, or inserting words, along with shuffling or modifying the original papers. This paper gives an overall definition of plagiarism and works through different papers for the most known types of plagiarism methods and tools.

The current trend of changing education has affected all stages of education. Innovations have affected the secondary school classes (grades 10–11) of an ordinary Russian school. Now we are dealing with a model of specialized classes, which consists in dividing students into classes according to main subjects. It should be noted that the current state of grades 10–11 is characterized by an increasing interest in the humanities profile of education, which encourages methodologists to search for new and optimal methods of teaching foreign languages. Recently, the content and language integrated learning (CLIL), which consists in studying a school subject through a foreign language, has become especially popular. The article considers the main psychological and pedagogical conditions for the use of content and language integrated learning for the purpose of professional orientation of students of the secondary school humanities classes. The analysis of the existing methodological literature allowed the author to identify certain psychological and pedagogical conditions that allow teaching secondary school students a foreign language on the basis of content and language integrated learning. These include: the use of tasks that reflect the specifics of the preparation of the corresponding profile of higher school education, which allows students of the humanities classes of secondary school to get acquainted with future activities in a foreign language by performing problem tasks; professional orientation of training; the required level of foreign language proficiency of secondary school students at the moment of graduating from school at the B2 level; the distribution of students by the level of foreign language proficiency; intra-profile diversity, which takes into account the development of various branches of the humanities; competences of a foreign language teacher; motivation of secondary school students to learn a foreign language through content and language integrated learning. Special emphasis in the paper is placed on the competence of a foreign language teacher who conducts his course on the basis of content and language integrated learning.
