This chapter deals with implementation of cognitive-communicative approach to foreign language education of non-linguistic students. In this connection, we should take into consideration the speaker's speech strategy in the attempt to achieve maximum communication efficiency. The recognition of the role of context in a foreign professional discourse emphasizes the great importance of pragmatic procedures for its analysis and its cognitive aspects. This fact should be taken into account in the process of teaching foreign language professional discourse. The criteria for its formation are defined as proficiency in the mental professional lexicon; the comprehensive choice and use of communication tools that correspond to the context of the communication situation and help to achieve the communicative goal; the ability to extract the necessary information when working with authentic materials. Successful teaching of non-linguistic students while realizing professionally oriented projects confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed model of education.

The article is devoted to one of the problems of foreign language education – the definition of the role of interpretation in preparing students of special (language) directions to participate in the dialogue of cultures. Interpretation is considered as a phenomenon and as a way of comprehending reality, which allows the subjects of the dialogue of cultures to reach mutual understanding. The main characteristic of interpretation, which is necessary for the purposes of foreign language education, is its psychological character. It is determined by the psychology of the author, the psychology of the work, as well as the psychology of the reader-interpreter. It is proved that the interpretation of a work of art, which has universal, historical and personal plans, has huge epistemological and axiological possibilities. They activate the entire educational potential of interperetation (educational, developmental, cognitive, and educational). Russian Russian poet A. A. Fet (1820–1892) uses the poem “Wir saßen am Fischerhaus” by the famous German poet and publicist Heinrich Hein (1797–1856) and the translation of this poem into Russian to illustrate the interpretation technology. The poem is considered as a space of personal meanings of the author. They are the ones that are subject to interpretation and bring the reader-interpreter back from the poet's world to the modern real world. And the real world is full of unexpected cultural facts, closely related to the content of the work of G. Heine, with distant Lapland and the life of modern lapps. Thus, interpretation is presented as an educational strategy. Together with the strategies of contextualization, philologization and argumentation, it ensures the achievement of the main goal of foreign language education – the creation of an individual who can act as a genuine subject of the dialogue of cultures. The article also emphasizes the importance of the teacher as the organizer of the educational process and the subject of the dialogue of cultures.

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.
