Abstract

[EN] The strategic target of Kazan Federal University is enhancing its authority and gaining academic prestige in the area of research and development. For this reason, the objective of our research is to find out whether our techniques are effectively designed to meet the foreign students’ professional language needs and how they impact their learning skills. Subsequently, these methods are being focused on developing their English communication skills in workrelated situations. Firstly, we identified the strategy of formation the coherent speech at the level of topic-comment relationship. Secondly, we used the gambits as an essential instrument of speech culture. Comparative characteristics of the levels of English proficiency among foreign students of KFU and KNRTU-KAI illustrate the positive results of the experiment, which confirm the effectiveness and success of the proposed techniques. Thus,our methods of teaching English to foreign students make a certain contribution to the accelerated development of the necessary competencies.
