Annotation: The rapidly changing world directly affects the educational sphere. The university teaching staff constantly has to solve new psychological, pedagogical and methodological issues. Undoubtedly, teaching approaches must take into account the needs of modern students and adapt to the specificities of socio-economic and political reality. Presently, from the point of view of teaching methods, the pronunciation of native English speakers is no longer perceived as an absolute norm and a standard to follow. When teaching English as a language of international communication (lingua franca), the goal of developing phonetic skills is to achieve intelligibility of speech in professional communication and the ability to understand a wide range of accents. As practice shows, working on improving pronunciation skills of university students has a number of issues. Students should not feel uncomfort- able during pronunciation training. Today, personalization of the learning process is becoming a current trend in higher education. The article proposes the authors’ model of teaching pronunciation based on P2P method and development of an individual trajectory. The practical significance of the study is observed in the critical analysis of the experimental training conducted, and in the possibility of using the described technique when teaching a foreign language at a university.

Annotation: The article explores the topic of formal description and normalization of the generally accepted concept of “address” in the database. The relevance of the work is due to the high degree of variability of addresses and the need to create a significant number of grammatical rules for their formal description and normalization. The article proposes an approach to summarize the rules of this description. The criterion of sets equivalence of generated address strings is formulated. A system of formal grammar rules has been developed that converts a set of address details values into a string form. The address bar is considered as a linguistic variable, the source of which is the required address, transformed according to the rules of the generative grammar. In turn, each request address is considered as the result of converting the corresponding address bar using the rules of the recognizing grammar. Using the method of logical categorization of the conversion process of a specific address, an address tree has been built, the paths of which determine the structure of each address bar. A theoretical model is proposed for the automatic conversion of a mandatory normalized address into a string form. The results obtained can be useful for designers of information systems containing address description data or interacting with them.

Annotation: The article describes the problem of preparing future teachers of the Russian language for the organization of educational and research activities of schoolchildren. The object of the study is the process of preparing stu- dents of a pedagogical university for future professional activity. The subject of the study is the preparation of students of philology to implementation of the guidelines the educational and research activities of schoolchil- dren. An empirical study was conducted based on a survey of students of the Philological Faculty of Orenburg State Pedagogical University. In addition to the expected areas of interest for university students in terms of conducting research, the survey made it possible to identify areas fr om other fields of knowledge. The results of the survey and the general experience of teachers in philology have allowed us to expand the methodologi- cal recommendations for organizing and conducting educational research for students of philology, as well as to clarify the tasks for preparing them for implementing the guidelines for schoolchildren’s research activities. The article also provides methodological techniques of work implemented in the practice of teaching a separate discipline on the basics of organizing research activities. The development of methodological approaches to the forming of research skills among future teachers of Russian language and literature can contribute to improving the effectiveness of the organization of educational research in a school environment, wh ere the teacher will act as a supervisor directing the research activity of schoolchildren.

Annotation: The aim of the research is to determine the specifics and pathways of developing national identity of future foreign language teachers in the context of a multicultural environment at a language university, considering the modernization of higher education within the framework of the 3++ standard in the field of “Philology’’. The research is based on the postulate that the study of a foreign language can influence the development of national identity at the individual level, as in some cases it can form a competing national identity and lead to an imbalance in value hierarchy. The authors propose a system for developing national identity in students at a language university within the context of foreign language education and intercultural approach. This system encompasses the following elements: 1) a rational understanding of cultural material and critical thinking, 2) the forming of a sense of involvement in regional and local community issues, 3) the creation of patterns of civic behavior and intercultural communication. The necessity of mobilizing the cultural and linguistic experience of students is emphasized to prepare them for dialogue with representatives of equal cultures and to prevent intercultural conflicts.

Annotation: The study is devoted to the analysis of the deficits of students of a pedagogical university in preparation for volunteering at school. The study of the causes and factors that reduce the success of educational activities in the field of volunteering by future teachers in their interaction with schoolchildren is conducted. As a result of interviewing and surveying students of pedagogical specialties, deficiencies were identified in the field of personal motivation of students for volunteer activities and organizing it at school, which can negatively affect their further practical work in this aspect in the future. Promising areas for overcoming the identified difficul- ties in the field of training students of a pedagogical university are identified. These include the development and implementation of a special educational course in the system of professional training of future teachers to develop the skills of students to organize volunteer activities at school, the inclusion of methods of motivating volunteering in the program of this course.
