Постановка задачи. Современный этап обучение иностранному языку в техническом университете основывается на компетентностном подходе. Немаловажную роль в языковой подготовке будущих специалистов играет формирование социолингвистической компетенции обучающихся, которую в отечественной методике принято включать в состав социокультурной компетенции. Формирование социолингвистической компетенции студентов в процессе занятий по английскому языку имеет свои особенности и связано с ознакомлением обучающихся с культурой и историей стран изучаемого языка, правилами и нормами речевого поведения языковых носителей, явлениями территориально и социально обусловленной языковой вариативности. Результаты. Проведенное исследование дает основание утверждать, что типичные ошибки и трудности студентов, возникающие в процессе иноязычной коммуникации и связанные с выбором социально и территориально обусловленных фонетических и лексических вариантов, свидетельствуют о недостаточной сформированности у обучающихся социолингвистической компетенции. Выводы. Направленность внимания преподавателя на формирование данной компетенции в учебном процессе, объяснение студентам природы явления языковой вариативности, анализ причин неоднозначности номинации в каждом конкретном случае позволяют обучающимся успешно преодолевать проблемы выбора языкового варианта в процессе коммуникации, становиться более уверенными пользователями английского языка. Statement of the problem. At present, the teaching of a foreign language at a technical university rests on a competency-based approach. An important role in the linguistic education of the future specialists plays the formation of the students’ sociolinguistic competency, which is traditionally included in the structure of the sociocultural competency according to the national methodology.The formation of the sociolinguistic competency of the technical university students at the lessons of English has its distinctive features and is associated with introducing them to the culture and history of the country of the studied language, working with authentic professionally oriented materials, studying the norms of the native speakers’ communication behavior, the phenomena of territorially and socially determined linguistic variability. Results. The research that has been carried out gives reason to argue that the students’ typical mistakes and difficulties associated with the choice of the geographically determined phonetic variants and the geographically and socially determined lexical variants in the process of communication indicate that the sociolinguistic competency of the students is formed insufficiently. Conclusion. The focus of the teacher’s attention on the formation of the sociolinguistic competency in the educational process, explaining to the students the nature of the language variation phenomena, analyzing the reasons for the ambiguity of the nomination in each special case help the students to successfully overcome the problems of choosing a language variant in the communication process, and to become more confident users of English.

In this article, the authors consider forms and methods of teaching a foreign language at a technical university. Within the framework of the modular cyclic system, the academic year involves the division of the studied material into two terms, each of which includes five consecutive cycles. According to the concept of the MCTS, the cycle is a set of goals, tasks implemented in the educational process, constituting a round of eight/sixteen days of auditing and independent work, intermediate certification and control, aimed at the formation of competencies during the study of the module (discipline). The intensity, saving time of a student and a teacher, the large amount of independent work of students, the use of test technologies in assessing the quality of knowledge are distinctive features of the MCTS from the traditional form of study. The theoretical foundations of the study are derived from the analysis of works on the theory and methodology of teaching foreign languages, described in the works of A.A. Mirolyubov, N.D. Galskova, N.I. Gez. The purpose of this study is to describe the process of formation of professional communicative competencies in the study of a foreign language in a non-language university within the framework of a modular-cyclic training system, which involves a high degree of intensity of auditing and independent work, which reinforces the importance of diagnosing knowledge and skills in the process of mastering the module. Independent work of students is considered a mandatory part of the classroom work. The individual independent student's work under the guidance of a teacher is aimed at developing a skill in working with scientific and professional texts.

ABSTRACT. Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is an extremely rare disorder, with 112 cases described until 2019. We compare two cases of the foreign accent syndrome in native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese in its classic form (FAS) and psychiatric variant (FALS). Two cases were analyzed: (1) a right-handed, 69-year-old man, with a prior history of stroke, and (2) a right-handed, 43-year-old woman, diagnosed with schizophrenia. They were evaluate for language and speech, including the speech intelligibility. Both patients had speech impairments complaints, similar to a new accent, without previous exposure to a foreign language. However, the onset of the speech disorder was sudden in case 1 and insidious and with transient events in case 2, with speech intelligibility scores of 95.5 and 55.3% respectively. Besides neurologic impairment, the clinical presentation of FALS was extremely severe and differed to that expected in FAS cases, in which speech intelligibility is preserved.

Introduction. The socio-economic and political processes taking place in modern Russia pose new challenges to the student youth, as the most active subject of these processes. Ten years ago, it was enough for a qualified engineer to have professional knowledge, skills and abilities, but today, according to the requirements of higher education, he must have a management culture, information competence and legal literacy. The purpose of the study is to study the legal literacy of students of a technical university. Materials and methods. The materials of the study were the data of an anonymous sociological survey of 124 respondents – students of the Stupino branch of the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University) of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th courses of full-time and part-time education by filling out Google forms. The obtained data allowed us to study the knowledge of the students of the technical university in the field of the basics of legal literacy. Results. Analysis of the data of a sociological survey of students' opinions showed that the overwhelming majority (96.5%) support the introduction of in-depth study of law enforcement practice in the educational process of a technical university. Students admitted (94.4% of respondents) that knowledge of the basics of civil, labor, tax, administrative and other branches of law will help them in their professional activities; 38.4% believe that they need additional knowledge in the field of law, while 62.9% had experience in concluding a civil contract (purchase and sale of an apartment, car, contract, delivery, provision of services, etc.), but 41.5% used the services of specialists (realtor, labor dispute commission, lawyers, etc.). Conclusion. Today, legal literacy of students determines the understanding of their role, opportunities and responsibilities in society, knowledge of their rights and obligations. Obtaining the necessary legal knowledge and skills for professional activity will allow students to independently understand the current laws, legal norms, understand them and apply them in their professional activities.
