Academic language: scientific style of speech in the course of Russian as a foreign language

the article deals with the study of the scientific style of speech by foreign students at the pre-university stage of education. Foreigners have great difficulties studying in a Russian university if they do not speak the language of the educational and scientific sphere well enough. To understand special texts that sound in class or are set out in a textbook, it is necessary to know special language tools, lexical, grammatical and syntactic constructions. The authors show that the possession of an academic language cannot be associated with a communicative skill acquired in the social sphere. Successful experience of a foreigner in conversational communication does not give the student the necessary basis for using the Russian language in the educational and scientific field. More important for a student starting to study the scientific style of speech are the basic knowledge of grammar and word formation, which must be mastered in the form of a system. The consistency of knowledge allows you to reduce the amount of information stored. The communicative method should be supplemented by the method of conscious learning, because only with knowledge of the components of the model can one achieve an understanding of all phrases constructed according to this model. The article offers a variant of mastering the scientific style of speech in the course of Russian as a foreign language at the First certification level.
