“…Drubin and Kellogg (2012) mention that by learning a single language, scientists around the world gain access to the vast scientific literature and can communicate with other scientists anywhere in the world. Though it creates challenges for those whose first language is not English, proper motivation and learning can lead to significant outcomes resulting in successful scientific communication at the conferences, symposia, publication of papers, monographs and patents (Aizikovitsh-Udi & Amit, 2011; Butakova, 2016;Hubackova & Semradova, 2013;Tsyguleva et al, 2019). For this reason, continuous English study is important not only for bachelor students, but it is vital for master students who develop their academic skills and are involved into scientific studies (Fedorova et al, 2018;Ruchina et al, 2015;Tonkikh & Butakova, 2016).…”

The article deals with the problem of master students' competence for speech production on the topic of their scientific work when they are completing the first year of masters' courses and at the final stage of learning the English language as a second language. The objective of the paper is to find out the level of readiness to produce utterances in English in the professional context concerning master's scientific work, to analyse the ability to explain the objective of the work and to demonstrate theoretical background in the second language. In the study, 116 masters' students of four different masters' courses (radio electronics, environmental safety, technological machinery and design) were asked to complete a survey concerning the topic, purpose and theoretical foundations of their future thesis. As a result of written statements analysis, it was revealed that despite numerous grammar mistakes (word order, use of grammar tenses, etc.) and spelling, the majority of students are able to formulate the topic of their work. 76% of test persons can clearly formulate the objectives of their work in the second language, while a quarter of the students confuse it with the object or the result of the study. Only 3% of students can explain in English which theories and scientific works are used in their research projects. That is why an integrated approach to teaching English is needed to improve the ability of masters' students to produce professional speech for future successful communication in their professional field.

The study of language as a cognitive phenomenon makes it possible to identify patterns of categorical division of the world. This paper considers the issue of the characteristics of everyday knowledge categories verbalization in professional discourse. On the basis of language fragments, objectifying ideas about the cognitive situation, through frame analysis, surface realizations of significant cognitive categories are investigated, among which are the subject of cognition, the object, the cognitive action, the instrument, the result, space and time. The named semantic nodes form the categorical structure of the frame behind the language fragment. The analysis demonstrates the compatibility of everyday and scientific knowledge division by a speaker; still, it illustrates the specificity of the language expression of frame nodes within the framework of professional discourse.
