Annotation: The article examines the problem of the influence of the native language and culture on the acquisition of a foreign language. Attention is focused on the cognitive aspects of interference in the development of academic discourse in English. The causes and conditions of interference are analyzed, including differences in cognitive and communica- tion strategies adopted by native speakers and the studied languages. The main factors influencing the interference process are considered, including differences in language structures, cultural norms, and academic traditions. Linguistic and cultural interference is also considered as a metalinguistic phenomenon that affects the process of mastering English for academic purposes at advanced stages of language learning. Based on the results of the analysis of students’ written works, a detailed classifier of typical interference errors of Russian-English bilinguals in academic discourse is provided. A comprehensive methodological system for overcoming linguistic and cultural interference is proposed, integrated into the disciplines of learning English for academic purposes, a written com- munication workshop, grammar, translation, and project activities. The research is valuable for English language teachers, methodologists and specialists in the field of linguistics, linguodidactics and intercultural communication.
