Abstract:
Introduction. The article deals with the issues related to the method of teaching foreign students technical terminology. In it, the authors present the method of working with various types of dictionaries used in this process. It should be emphasized that the importance of international cooperation and the attraction of foreign citizens not only to study the Russian language, but also to get education in Russia is stated in the Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” for 2019. This practice of international interaction has been recognized as a promising one, due to its role in expanding the educational opportunities of citizens and strengthening cooperation between Russian and foreign educational organizations. The study of Russian by foreign students contributes to the preservation and enhancement of the national and cultural traditions of the people inhabiting our country. Speaking of higher professional education, it should be noted that a high-level specialist cannot work effectively without the knowledge and ability to use terminology related to his field of study.
