This article is devoted to the topical problems of studying Russian anthroponyms at the initial stage of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The authors highlight and describe the main difficulties that foreigners face when using Russian first and last names in speech – the choice of the combination of components of the Russian personal name necessary in a specific communicative situation; the presence of a wide range of hypocoristic and qualitative personal names, the difficulty of correlating them with the full form of the name; the coincidence of some male and female hypocoristic personal names, making it difficult to distinguish them in a small context. A comparative analysis of elementary level textbooks on Russian as a foreign language from the point of view of the representation in them of Russian personal names prescribed by the lexical minimum of the corresponding level for mastering by students. It is established that the necessary lexical material in the analysed manuals is not fully presented, lack of systematic presentation of information about the formation and use of anthroponyms is mentioned. The authors of the article have formed and presented a system of language and speech tasks that make up for these shortcomings and contribute to the successful development of Russian personal names by foreign students at an elementary level of language proficiency.

The purpose of the paper is to summarize and present teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language in higher educational institutions of Ukraine. The main focus lies in the most modern methods of teaching Ukrainian for foreign students of different nationalities who attain higher education in Ukraine. The author reviewed the development of the concepts of emotional intelligence and modern approaches to the determination of the nature and forms of manifestation of empathy in individuals. Empathy is a principal social emotion; in its most general form it is defined as the individual's ability to react emotionally and to respond to other people's experiences. The author emphasizes the feasibility of accounting empathy as part of emotional intelligence, which is key to successful study of the Ukrainian language for foreigners. The value of socio-psychological training as a means to enhance students’ empathy is proven. Emotional intelligence techniques for the formation and development of empathy culture are presented. The formation of students’ emphatically culture promotes social and psychological training, thus enhancing competence in the field of communication and interpersonal skills to acquire. Socio-psychological training covers various methods, such as business and role-playing, discussions and more. It involves the acquisition of psychological and pedagogical knowledge in communication, effective communication skills, for example, to get in touch, listen, persuade others and to form attitudes necessary for successful communication, such as readiness to consider the problem from another point of view; development of abilities of self-examination, to understand other students, and correction system of relations with the outside world. Other techniques appropriate to apply during the stimulation of student culture are widely known such as self-disclosure, emotional response, personal contact (physical, visual, verbal, plastic, object-efficient) jokes, humor and others. The latter are very effective in removing emotional stress, eliminating aggressive or sad states of stress in relationships, and help enhance mental activity. Jokes activate distraction and relax empathy. The development of emotional intelligence in the student regulates that individual’s abilities and traits that are responsible whether the impact of emotional phenomena will be constructive or destructive behavior for the student. Developing emotional intelligence is inextricably linked to the communicative approach to language learning. The teacher should provide comfortable and effective communication between students in class, using the methods above, techniques and creating a positive atmosphere that promotes cooperation and helps develop confidence in students. Holistic education must involve the unity of intellectual and emotional areas. Also, this work is devoted to the analysis of existing classifications of dialogues, consideration of advantages and disadvantages of some of their types, to the coverage of methods of extracurricular work with students, their detailed analysis, and identification of their pluses and minuses. The model of the use of more appropriate combinations of types of dialogues is presented in order to achieve the most productive result in language learning. A model of formation of foreign communicative competence is offered. The practice of the proposed methods should allow students to unleash their potential, break language barriers, expand vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and most importantly – increase self-confidence.

The aim of the study is to analyse the didactic possibilities of the source text on the basis of exercises aimed at its modification (transformation). The article pays attention to substitution and transformation exercises for students-inophones (language proficiency levels on the scale TORFL-1, TORFL-2). Exercises with substitution models (language variation patterns) are described as tools for creating modified (transformational) text, in which students-inophones, while working with source texts, can produce statements in the process of synthesis of supporting text elements into a whole and coherent text (statement by analogy). Examples of substitution and transformation exercises for foreign students are given. Distinctive features of the texts promoting formation of a language guess in lessons of Russian as a foreign language are noted. The results of the research allow to draw a conclusion about the possibility to form a language guess at students-inophones on the basis of transformation of the source text.

Abstract. The article is devoted to the current problem of the development of critical thinking technology; innovative technologies for the development of critical thinking, consisting in the practical implementation of a person-oriented approach  in training are considered; the methods of forming critical thinking, which contribute to the formation of foreign language communicative competence, are considered too. The author shares practical ideas about the development of critical thinking in the context of teaching the Ukrainian language as a foreign language at the preparatory faculty.Examples of using technology through reading and writing are shown already in the first weeks of studying the general literary Ukrainian language; in the course «Country Studies» (discipline «Ukrainian as a foreign language», second semester of studying the Ukrainian language). The possibilities of developing critical thinking in the process of project implementation are demonstrated.Examples of the implementation of pedagogical technology for the development of critical thinking during classes are presented. The author substantiates the possibility and necessity of applying the critical thinking technology in teaching the Ukrainian language as a foreign language at the initial stage of study.It is noted that the most effective form of teaching critical thinking is the implementation of group work, which allows developing the qualities of independence, curiosity, the ability to make an independent assessment, provide reasoning for one’s opinion, and prove or refute one’s decision. The study gives the author grounds for certain conclusions that the technology of critical thinking development, creating a motivating favorable environment in the classroom, maximally adapts the learning process to the individual characteristics of foreign students.

The article deals with the problem of academic discussion’ opportunities in teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language. The author emphasizes the subjective interpretation of the topic as the essential characteristic, the main genre law of the essay. Bright subjectivity encourages the reader to meditate and dialogue with the text. We can offer an essay for discussion to foreigners speaks Ukrainian at medium and high levels. This will be especially useful for foreign students of the humanities. Examples of essay prose are relevant to future Ukrainian philologist, historians, political scientists, sociologists, cultural scientists, and art historians, as the essay thematic spectrum is concentrated in these areas. In addition, reading essays and their discussion will promote the development of textual competence – the main component of the humanitarian’s professional competence. Among the various forms of modern essay, an essay in the form of a column in the media is a most interesting in the aspect of language learning. Small size, an appeal to important contemporary themes, and the involvement of elements of the colloquial style – these basic features determine the linguodidactic potential of an essay-column. The article proposes a detailed analysis of the essay “One against All” by S. Zadan and shows its internal contradiction. Synonymic rows make one global antithesis: a compromise and a struggle. The analysis reveals how ambiguous the problem is, how subjective the authorʼs point of view is and how productive it is for organizing discussion. The author's questions give rise to student answers and a lot of new questions. The article proposes the plan of the discussion and emphasizes the importance of the psychological factors and the personal teacher’s traits (the ability to feel the interests of the group, to create a positive psychological microclimate, to interest students, to call for a trusting conversation). Prospects for further research are the selection and linguodidactic analysis of Ukrainian essays suitable for use in the study of foreigners.
