The article is devoted to the role and possibilities of using phraseology in teaching professional communication skills in Russian to foreign students. As an example, phraseological units are discussed that are used in professional communication in the field of economics and business. The article contains such linguistic characteristics of phraseological units in the economic discourse as semantics, stylistic properties, etymology, communicative value. Teaching professional communication with the use of phraseology assumes acquaintance of foreign students with the main linguistic characteristics of phraseological units, i.e. with their grammatical properties, lexical and syntactic compatibility, features of functioning in speech. Control tests are aimed at mastering the semantics of phraseological units, at developing the skills and abilities of using phraseological units in professional speech. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the use of phraseological expressions in teaching professional communication allows to consider phraseology as one of the linguistic resources that contributes to the formation of communicative competence in the professional sphere among foreign students.

<p><em>In line with the increasingly rapid development of the era, da'wah activities require a precise strategy and a clear concept. For this reason, it is necessary to have a systematic method or method that is used to deliver material or preach messages to mad'u. The author focuses on conducting studies between the methods of da'wah according to Jalaluddin Rakhmat and their implementation in Islamic guidance and counseling because they can be said to be interrelated. According to Jalaluddin Rachmat there are three methods of da'wah, namely: preaching with wisdom (bi al-hikmah), mau'idzah hasanah, and da'wah with good discussion (mujadalah billati hiya ahsan). The da'wah method according to Jalaluddin Rakhmat can be implemented in the guidance and counseling process as an effort to deepen the application of counseling communication skills. Al hikmah can be applied in the initial stages of counseling process trying to understand a client's problems. Mauidzhah hasanah can be applied in the middle stage, which is the stage of work where there will be advice so that clients can find various alternatives to the problems at hand. Mujadalah billati hiya ahsan can be applied in the final stage, namely the action stage which seeks to convince clients of solutions that will be taken independently.</em></p><p align="center">****</p><p>Sejalan dengan perkembangan zaman yang semakin pesat, kegiatan dakwah memerlukan sebuah strategi yang jitu dan konsep yang jelas.

Metode dakwah menurut Jalaluddin Rakhmat dapat diimplementasikan dalam proses bimbingan dan konseling sebagai upaya memperdalam penerapan ketrampilan komunikasi konseling. <em>Al-hikmah </em>dapat diterapkan dalam tahap awal konseling, untuk memahami suatu permasalahan klien. <em>Mauidzhah hasanah </em>dapat diterapkan dalam  tahap pertengahan, yang merupakan tahap kerja dimana akan adanya nasihat-nasihat agar klien bisa menemukan berbagai alternatif atas permasalahan yang dihadapi. <em>Mujadalah  billati hiya ahsan </em>dapat diterapkan dalam tahap akhir, yaitu tahap tindakan <em>(action) </em>yang berusaha untuk menyakinkan klien terhadap solusi yang akan diambil secara mandiri.</p>

As the pharmacy profession evolves, good communication skills are vital for securing the safer and more rational use of medicines. Currently there is a lack of qualitative studies researching European student pharmacists’ and their experience with communication skills training (CST). This qualitative study aimed to fill this gap by exploring Danish student pharmacists’ attitudes towards, and experiences of, CST. Focus group interviews were conducted with a heterogeneous sample of Danish student pharmacists in 2016. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed inductively. Fifteen students participated in three focus groups. Five categories identified as key aspects were: professional communication vs. normal conversation, motivation to engage in training, how to learn communication skills, experience with CST and universities’ role in teaching communication skills. In conclusion, there were both positive and negative attitudes towards CST among the participants. However, they had little experience with CST. Bloom’s taxonomy of the affective domain and Kolb’s experiential learning model appear to be useful in understanding students’ attitudes towards CST. Pharmacy educators can use this study to structure and improve their CST curricula by knowing what influences students’ attitudes towards CST.
