INNER FORM OF THE WORD AND POETIC IMAGE IN ACMEISM: PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECT OF THE CORRELATION

Zanegina Anastasiya A.

Abstract.

The article is devoted to the issue of the correlation between the linguophilosophical phenomenon of the inner form of the word and the concept of the “eidolon-image”. Eidolon is the main component of the aesthetic system of Acmeism – one of the main literary and philosophical directions of the Silver Age. Linguists define the internal form of the word as “image of the image”. In this interpretation we see an obvious connection and similarity with the acmeistic image-eidolon as the creative impulse of the artistic text. Eidolon anticipates the formation of a specific artistic image in the same way as the inner form of a word (representation) anticipates the formation of a concept. According to Nikolai Gumilev, the founder and leader of Acmeism, following Alexander Potebnja, an outstanding linguist and philosopher, poetry is not only a language phenomenon, but also a special form of speech, a unique and creative way of thinking. A distinctive feature of this phenomenon is a thought transformation with the help of a certain image, “image of the image”, the inner form of the word, the analogue of which in Acmeism was eidolon. 

Keywords:

Acmeism, inner form of the word, poetics, image, philosophy of the language, eidology, eidolon.

DISCUSSION ON MODERN RUSSIAN THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF RELIGIOUS, ATHEISTIC AND SCIENTIFIC WORLDVIEWS

(as regards the historical-philosophical and generalpurpose aspects)

Gusev Dmitry A.

Abstract.

The topicality of the article is determined by the discussion on theological education in modern Russia, which has recently been expanding. It raises question of its possibility, worth, grounding, necessity and positive or negative influence on the Russian society. In the view of religious, secular-atheistic and postsecular worldview patterns that were subsequently changing in Russia’s political and spiritual history of the XX–XXI centuries main pros and cons of theological education being integrated into the present-day secular system appear quite interesting. The attempt of such comparative analysis of coordinates of religious, atheistic and scientific worldview aimed at finding their coincidences and discrepancies bears the theoretic and practical significance as well as the scientific novelty. The main conclusion of the authors is the statement, according to which science, in its essence and nature, is not either an ally of atheism or an opponent of religion, which is why secular education, associated primarily with the development of basic scientific ideas about the world, does not contradict neither religious nor atheistic worldview. Theological and secular education may well coexist peacefully at the current stage of the country’s life and even complement each other.

ON THE PREDICTIVE CAPABILITIES OF CYBERACTIVE USERS BETWEEN 18 AND 22 YEARS OLD

Tolstova Olga I.

Abstract.

This article examines the predictive abilities in the study of the perception of social phenomena by cyber-active users aged between 18 and 22 years old. Specific conditions of the virtual space that affect the productivity of forecasting social phenomena by students are described. The content of the concepts of “virtual reality” and “forecasting” is considered. Depending on the measure of use of Internet resources, subjects were divided into experimental and control samples. Cyberactive students with staying for 5 to 6 hours on the Internet with 7 to 10 years of experience were involved in the experimental sample. The control sample was made by less cyber-active students, who spend 2 to 4 hours daily on the web with the experience from 3 to 8 years. As a stimulus material, a picture was used that contained a complex plot that allowed us to determine the speed and accuracy of predicting social phenomena. As the result of this study, it was revealed that the rate of forecasting of social phenomena is lower in cyberactive users of 18 to 22 years in comparison with the less cyberactive respondents. There are dissimilarities between the experimental and control samples in terms of the accuracy of forecasting social phenomena. The effect of the duration and systemic nature of the subject’s stay in cyberspace on predictive ability was recorded.

FEATURES OF MODELING THE MULTICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT IN A UNIVERSITY IN A NATIONAL REGION

Pudov Aleksei G.

Abstact.

A Russian university on the periphery has become multicultural. A person with a conservative set of ethno-cultural values is not fully ready for a multidimensional dialogue with a previously unfamiliar culture. This generates mistrust between people, deforms the nature of the intercultural exchange. Dialogue, in the conditions of interaction of the conservative ideocratic forms of consciousness and dominant codes of the collective intentionality, becomes more complicated. In a multicultural society, the model of multicultural education needs developing an implementation strategy. The purpose of the paper is to identify the strategy of a multicultural university education in the conditions of the ethnocultural regionality, migration and mass culture dominance. Practical documents are proposed for the implementation of the model of a multicultural environment: a Program to form a multicultural environment in a university; a psychological affirmation to the multicultural education; a memo for students and faculties.

PECULIARITY OF ERIUGENIAN PHILOSOPHICAL DOCTRINE

Abstract.

This article considers the phenomenon of the philosophy of John Scottus Eriugena’s (c. 800 – c. 877). Comparative, concrete historical, typological, and systematic textual analytic methods of research were applied to understand and provide a scientific evaluation of the events and facts that triggered Eriugena’s philosophical choices in respect to the medieval thought. Ideas of the Irish monk were rooted in Neoplatonism, which prevailed in the Byzantine meditative theology, and in the language of Hermeneutics’, subordinated to the tasks of contemplating things in the context of the medieval paradigm of knowledge. It was found that the “idealism” of Eriugena’s as a constructive principle in his theological reasoning and in his teachings on the division of Nature, or God, is more relevant to Hegel and German idealistic tradition than to Berkeley’s immaterialism.

Abstract.

The education reform going on at present and the changing requirements to the second language skills at secondary and tertiary levels as well as the changing approaches to the role of writing in the second language learning have stipulated the choice of topic. The article aims to analyze the transformation of approaches to the second language writing that have occurred for the past 50–60 years in the national and foreign methodology; and to reveal the practical potential that the modern research areas on the second language writing have. The article views different approaches to the second language writing from the perspective of the role of writing in the educational process; the constraints academic environment lays to the process of writing; the stages and mental mechanisms of writing; the transfer of composition skills from the mother tongue; pedagogical implications the components of models of writing have.

The main purpose of the contents of teaching foreign languages in the polylingual and multicultural conditions is that it should be sufficient to lay the foundations of communicative and intercultural competence of primary school students and to develop their ability and willingness to participate in the polylogue of cultures.  The multicultural aspect of the content of foreign languages education is considered as a set of skills developed for cultural observation, as well as culturological and linguocultural skills and experiences of the cultures of the target language country, Russia and the Republic, which is home to a primary school student, allowing him/her to build their verbal and nonverbal behavior with their foreign peers, and thus forming the status as the subject of the native cultures. The multicultural aspect includes three groups of skills and experiences. The first group (A) includes the skills of cultural observation and cross-cultural knowledge. The second Group (B) is constituted by proper cultural skills and experiences. In the third group (C) we deal with the linguoculturological skills to use names of countries, cities, holidays, and other specific words that form the Russian and world vocabulary, as well as linguoculturological experiences in the oral or written communication. The main purpose of the multicultural aspect is to introduce students to the culture of the target language country, to help them better understand the culture of their own country and their Republic, to develop their ability to see common and different in various cultures, as well as form the skills in written and oral communication to present their own culture by means of foreign language.

Keywords:

polylogue of linguocultures, the polycultural language education, polycultural aspect of the content of training, cultureoriented ability for the communication in a foreign language, cultural universal.

FORMATION OF DIDACTIC COMPETENCE OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES WITHIN THE SYSTEM-SITUATIONAL APPROACH

Goncharuk Olga V.

Abstract.

It is necessary to make the essence of the notion of the “didactic competence” specific and to substantiate the necessity to develop the indicators of this competence maturity. It is also necessary to work out a list of criteria that specify some aspects of achievement, levels or standards while assessing the maturity of the students’ didactic competence. This supposed assessment is backed with the defining of the students’ professional traits that are to be developed in the process of university education. Clear assessment criteria are to be known and understood by students and teachers in advance. Such criteria may become the background of the situational tasks work out based on the system-situational approach. However, it is not only the students’ knowledge that is to be assessed, but also their professional experience as a component of thedidactic competence. The system-situational approach complements the activity approach to the formation of the methodological competence of future teachers of foreign languages, developed by G. V . Rogova.

Nikolaeva Natalja N., Matorina Irina N.

Abstract.

The paper discusses the authors’ experience in applying interactive training methods in teaching professionally-oriented English to those students who do not major in linguistics at BMSTU. It takes into account the integrated learning methodological value of both professionally-oriented subjects and the English language.

OVERCOMING OF CROSS-LANGUAGE INTERFERENCE OF ENGLISH AS L1 IN THE PROGRAMS OF SPANISH AS L2: A STUDY OF SPANISH FUTURE TENSES

Ivanova Tatiana S.

Abstract.

This paper aims to develop a discrete system of exercises to overcome crosslanguage interference of English as L1 with Spanish as L2. In the process of our study, we employ the linguistic and methodological analysis which shows the zones of the crosslanguage interference that require special attention, as well as zones of the positive transfer. It is concluded that in order to acquire efficient language skills, the teacher of Spanish as L2 should take into account the lexicogrammatical structure of the English language as a source of the positive transfer and cross-language interference. We also prove the necessity of basing on the authentic Spanish materials.
