Abstract

Foreign language is a mandatory subject at all stages of higher education - from bachelors to doctoral studies. Knowledge of a foreign language at the present stage of development of science and technology is a very important skill for expanding the exchange of scientific ideas. It is impossible to conduct research in a single country without using world experience. Even with advanced technologies that no one else owns, scientists are forced to study the world’s experience in different fields of activity in order to develop them. Any sphere of human activity involves various developments, so all Sciences are interconnected. Training of young scientists in various fields of science is also based on communication. Without a language, both native and foreign, it is impossible to communicate and understand the subject of study. Reading scientific articles in a foreign language requires knowledge of language grammar and terminology, but as for scientists, this terminology should be narrowly focused. There can be no ambiguity or different interpretations. On the other hand, if we take English words as an example, most of them are polysemantic. Accordingly, it is necessary to operate with the meaning that is applicable in a specific area of use of the term.

Highlights

Modern young people have already begun to realize that the knowledge of a foreign language expands the scope of understanding of people and allows them to meet their needs in communication, obtaining information, and thereby increase their wages, which in turn improves the quality of life [3, 7]
If we focus on a student with an average level of basic training, in this case, graduate students with a high level of knowledge of a foreign language will have nothing to do in the classroom
To solve the above issues, it is advisable to develop a textbook that would briefly list and describe the recommendations that help graduate students prepare for the exam

Summary

Introduction

Modern young people have already begun to realize that the knowledge of a foreign language expands the scope of understanding of people and allows them to meet their needs in communication, obtaining information, and thereby increase their wages, which in turn improves the quality of life [3, 7]. Most graduate students already have a fairly good level of proficiency in a foreign language and their main goal in preparing for the exam is to develop the ability to understand and translate authentic texts in their specialty, namely, the possession of terminology, the use of the desired meaning of a word in a particular context [1].
