“…It urges to turn to the strategy of valorization at the level of native and foreign culture which expands research opportunities when teaching the course "Introduction to the theory of cross-cultural communication" using new external mediaportals and sites that supplement the main educational publication and stimulate students to add their own results of educational and research activities to the information field. This strategy is built on the cooperative (dialogue) approach other training materials (Vikulova et al, 2020).…”

“…This discourse is a mixture of different genres with teaching foreign languages manuals on the top of scale. The manuals rely on such communicative and pragmatic categories as dialogism, address and strategy (Vikulova et al, 2020). Language codes as forms of transmitting social practice in system of education as well as core teaching strategies play a crucial role for educators.…”

This paper explains the didactic domain concept formed within the strategic matrix of the educational discourse related to teaching cross-cultural communication theory. It is stated that intercultural communication competenceis improved on certain strategies taking into account the organization of training in the light of the cognitive opposition "friend or other", acquiring a cross-cultural reflexive way of interaction, and further focus on value attitudes and participants' dominance in the communication act. The authors share their experience of writing the manual which corresponds to the effective teaching techniques. The manual topically based on understanding national and cultural symbols in innovative polyphonic and polycode format, ingrained in media network, opts for analytical review and more precise study of theoretical methodology. The competency-based approach focuses on instrumental pragmatic approach to cross-cultural communication that is challenging, dialogic and creative. The article provides value-and practice-oriented outlook on the key strategies featured in the manual: assimilating information strategy (informative strategy); comparing two or more cultures reflexive strategy; valorization of native and foreign cultures strategy.

Introduction. The problem of effective teaching language for special purposes (LSP) to the students of non-linguistic professions has been discussed for a long time and in full details by academicians both in Russia and foreign countries. As the result of multiple and thorough surveys general problems of the given situation have been revealed, the way out being defined as special training/retraining of LSP teachers. But in language education publications it is hardly possible to find the description of the program aiming at the training of the above mentioned teachers. The aim of the article is to present effective approaches to teaching LSP and offer the developed master program “Methods of teaching LSP” as a means to solve the problems mentioned above. Materials and Methods. The research methods used are a combination of analytical review of studies by Russian and foreign researchers and interpretation of the results obtained by interviewing university teachers specializing in teaching foreign languages to students completing Bachelorʼs or Masterʼs degree programs. The survey was conducted to assess the level of readiness of professional educators to design the structure and content of programs for teaching LSP, and actually conduct classes within the specified language-teaching area, 81 teachers being responders. Results. As a result of the undertaken review of theoretical works and analysis of the conducted survey a master program “Methods of teaching LSP” was designed for training graduates who will then teach English or Russian as a foreign language at industry-specific higher schools. The developed program focuses on instructing future LSP educators to work out a personalized educational route adjusted to the level of foreign language skills of a student and their prospective professional activities. Discussion and Conclusion. The master program developed by the authors as well as the content of the subjects suggested as its integral part are expected to become a productive way of training LSP educators who are supposed to acquire a number of special skills and competences described in the article. Distant learning and e-learning technologies are also engaged in the program to facilitate learners’ more efficient independent activities. The master program is seen as one of the means of modernizing LSP teachers’ professional training which meets the long-term needs of the Russian education system.

The concept of digitalization and intelligence is constantly emerging with the rapid development of information technology, and the in-depth integration of digital intelligence empowerment and teacher education development has garnered significant attention. In this paper, we first examine the stage of teacher development under digital empowerment, tracing the path of teacher education development. We then construct the digital and intelligent TPACK model, as well as the model of teacher education development ability. Subsequently, we adopt a BP neural network to evaluate teacher education development and optimize it using a genetic algorithm. After testing the model, we develop a teacher education development evaluation system based on the GA-BP algorithm, which we then apply and analyze. This paper’s optimized model reduced absolute and relative errors by 418.281 and 3.53%, respectively, compared to the traditional model, and improved the overall goodness of fit by 0.0144. Following the implementation of the system in this paper, the teacher assessment analysis revealed an average teaching ability score of 89.75 for teachers majoring in Japanese foreign language, and 90.26 for those majoring in English foreign language. Notably, the average level of English foreign language majors and their various dimension levels were both higher. Secondly, foreign language teachers with two years of training have an average teaching ability score of 91.32, which is 5.07 points higher than those with only one year of training. It proves the effectiveness of the practical application of this system, and this paper also provides suggestions for the development of teacher education by both teachers and schools, which is of practical significance for the optimization and improvement of foreign language teachers’ education in colleges and universities.
