The article discusses the necessity of taking into account the members of international interplanetary expeditions’ national psychological characteristics as an important element of ensuring their stable and positive interaction in the preparation and implementation of a flight program. At the same time, it is noted that the key moment of this process is the formation of a tolerant ethnic environment in the crew training process. The foundations of individual and group communication in terms of the understanding of foreign language partners’ ethnopsychological characteristics and its typical features are described.

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of high variability training on “-n” and “-ng” in Mandarin Chinese. 46 Japanese native speakers who study Mandarin Chinese as a second foreign language at a university in Japan were divided into one experimental group and one control group. Participants assigned to the experimental group trained themselves using software, which was developed in our early research. Participants in the control group took Chinese lessons normally. Identification tasks (ITs) were conducted before and after the training. After 12 sessions, the average identification accuracy of nasal codas increased 7.1% (p < .05) in the experimental group, however, decreased 1.2% (p > .05) in the control group. Results of the training process prove that the training was effective for some participants, while had little effect on other participants. From the questionnaires, we found that there is a disagreement between the participants’ subjective ability to identify nasal codas and the actual identification accuracy in ITs. Participants underestimate their ability to identify “-n” and “-ng” before training and overestimate their ability to identify “-n” and “-ng” after training. We made a formula to predict the accuracy of ITs (y) in the last 4 training sessions (x): y = 2.13x2 - 2.35x + 1.23. This formula will help participants to grasp the training process and predict their identification ability.

Psychological Features

The article considers the issue of taking into account the psychological characteristics of students in the study of a foreign language for professional purposes. It was analyzed the methodological aspects of taking into account psychological features in teaching a foreign language. Emphasis is placed on the need and importance of taking into account the psychological characteristics of students in the process of learning a foreign language for professional purposes. The main psychological factors of learning a foreign language are identified. Among the main psychological factors are: motivation and interest in language learning, temperament, memory, ability to learn languages, language barrier. Motivation is a major factor in language learning. Only the motivation to succeed can bring results in language learning. Psychological comfort in the classroom is a way to realize their importance in society, trying to get the most information for successful self-development. Under the condition of complete psychological comfort, the intensive development of mental processes and imagination, the improvement of memory, and the ability to communicate begin. Activating memorization processes also plays an important role in foreign language learning. The human brain is a complex mechanism and the main indicator of its efficiency is attention. If attention is reduced, a person can hardly concentrate. The article states that the success of learning a foreign language is determined by a combination of factors: motivational, emotional, cognitive, linguistic, psychophysiological and interactive. This means that the psychological aspects of learning a foreign language determine not only the goals and objectives of teaching, motivation, interest of students, but also the methods and approaches to learning. Emphasis is placed on the need to constantly search for new opportunities and ways to form and improve methods of learning a foreign language for professional purposes. The leading idea of the article is that taking into account the psychological, pedagogical and individual characteristics of students in the study of a foreign language for professional purposes allows to introduce new technologies into the educational process, increase learning efficiency, develop language skills and competencies, develop creative abilities, increase independent and extracurricular activities.

The Russian Language

The paper deals with the problem of optimizing the language training process for Chinese engineering students in the framework of joint Sino-Russian programs. The existing curricula on the Russian language as a foreign language (RFL) used to train future engineers have several disadvantages, and therefore do not provide a high level of subject and language competences. This is primarily due to weak contacts between teachers of special disciplines and teachers of the Russian language, the lack of coordination of teaching methods used by Russian and Chinese teachers of Russian. Features of training in a non-linguistic and linguistic environment predetermine the expediency of interconnected teaching of all types of speech activity in Russian. In this case, the system of exercises should be based on taking into account the ethno-psychological characteristics of Chinese students and the learning strategies they use when learning a foreign language. Particular attention should be paid to teaching the language of the specialty on the material of authentic video lectures of subject teachers in Russian. The author concludes that it is necessary to develop nationally oriented teaching aids for Chinese students-non-philologists who study in joint training programs for engineers in 2 + 2 and 3 + 1 schemes.

Inclusive education practices are now widespread in the Russian Federation and are aimed at ensuring the rights of everyone to education. One of the conditions for the effectiveness of inclusive education is the creation of an inclusive educational environment that ensures the personal and professional development of all the subjects of educational relations. Based on this, this article aims to provide a theoretical foundation and empirical investigation into the psychological characteristics of an inclusive educational environment. The following research methods were used to implement the goal: theoretical (systematic analysis of scientific and methodological literature on the research problem); empirical (experiment, interview method, method of expert evaluation); methods of primary mathematical statistics. The article covers the conception of the inclusive educational environment, thoroughly describing its constituents. The psychological characteristics of an inclusive educational environment based on the concept of psychological safety of the educational environment: attitude (positive, neutral, negative), satisfaction with interaction with the environment and subjects of educational relations, psychological safety (protection from psychological violence in the educational environment). For the empirical study of the psychological characteristics of an inclusive educational environment, an expert approach was used. The experts were the subjects of educational relations: teachers and parents, bringing up children with disabilities (sample size - 110 persons). Theoretically justified and empirically identified psychological and pedagogical conditions that ensure psychological comfort in an inclusive educational environment: the tolerance of subjects of educational relations, the professional and personal preparedness of teachers to positive interaction, parents’ readiness to build an educational route for a child with disabilities.
