Abstract
The article analyzes the types of exercises for foreign students in order to develop academic skills. In particular, we are talking about foreign medical students. Speaking about the current trends towards updating the content of foreign language teaching and the new requirements of individual universities for the implementation of professional training in foreign languages, we have to state that due to the novelty and multidimensional nature of the phenomenon, this problem in the conditions of domestic higher combined education has been developed only to a small extent. In the context of distance learning, it is quite difficult for foreign students of medical faculties to read the text in their specialty and extract the information necessary to solve a specific speech problem. The article deals with the peculiarities of teaching academic writing in Russian as one of the types of speech activity. Special attention is paid to the distinctive features of the written speech by students of medical specialties; several stages of work based on structural and semantic analysis of the text material are highlighted and described. The development and implementation of adapted special texts and exercises in the educational process allow foreign students to understand the content of articles, accurately determine the main and secondary information in the material, reproduce its main content using the skills of summarizing, annotating, note-taking.
Highlights
Competence in academic writing among university undergraduates has been a key area of research for over the last 30 years [1]
In recent years we can say that the role of writing in teaching a foreign language is gradually increasing, so writing is beginning to be considered as a reserve in improving the effectiveness of teaching a foreign language
Academic writing is considered as an element of research competence
Summary
Competence in academic writing among university undergraduates has been a key area of research for over the last 30 years [1]. In modern conditions of expanding international relations between universities and integration of world educational systems, the success and mobility of a modern specialist are largely determined by his level of knowing foreign languages, where a important evaluation criterion is the ability to express his thoughts correctly in writing in a foreign language [2]. In recent years we can say that the role of writing in teaching a foreign language is gradually increasing, so writing is beginning to be considered as a reserve in improving the effectiveness of teaching a foreign language. To teach students to write academic texts in Russian as a foreign language, a student must understand and accept the canons of Russian-language academic discourse [3]
