DESIGNING OF THE EDUCATIONAL AND METHODICAL COMPLEX "RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE OF THE PEOPLES OF TATARSTAN" FOR STUDENTS FROM NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the influx of applicants to universities of the Republic of Tatarstan from neighboring countries, primarily from Central Asian countries. One of the main and primary problems is their adaptation to the socio-cultural space of Tatarstan, their acceptance of the traditions and customs of the republic, ensuring sufficient proficiency in state languages, both at the domestic and professional level. To solve a number of problems arising within the framework of the problem posed, it is possible by teaching the discipline «Russian as a foreign language», transforming it into an educational and methodological complex recommended for implementation at the relevant departments in the implementation of higher and secondary vocational education programs. At the same time, two modernization options are possible: the discipline can be completely reworked (for students who have arrived in the Russian Federation for the first time and are completely unfamiliar with the language and culture of the peoples of the Republic of Tatarstan), or the changes will affect the initial section of the discipline studied during the first semester (to facilitate adaptation). The authors propose an integrated modular program «Russian language and culture of the peoples of Tatarstan» for study in 1-2 courses of the curriculum. The introduction of the developed educational and methodological complex provides a symbiosis of teaching Russian as a foreign language and immersion in the public space of the region in which foreign students study and live. The content of the module allows you to remove interethnic and intercultural barriers, introduce the history and traditions of the peoples of the Republic of Tatarstan. The use of professionally-oriented educational texts, as well as biographies of famous chemists, will allow a student studying Russian to immerse himself in professional discourse.
