A system of exercises for teaching foreign design students the language of the educational and scientific sphere of communication (based on texts on color science)

Successful implementation of joint international educational programs requires foreign students to have a high level of proficiency in the Russian language not so much in the social and social-cultural, but in the educational and scientific sphere of communication. Consequently, there is a request for the creation of professionally oriented highly specialized training tools. For students of the Joint Engineering Institute, created jointly by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and Jiangsu Pedagogical University, teachers of the Center for Russian as a Foreign Language of the Higher School of International Educational Programs have developed textbooks on the language of the specialty in each field of training. “Russian as a foreign language. The language of the specialty. Design” is a textbook developed for Chinese students of the Joint Engineering Institute of the Industrial Design training area. The structure of this textbook includes such lexical topics as “Introduction to Design”, “Basic concepts of Composition”, “Color Science”, “Descriptive geometry” and “Engineering Graphics”. Color science is one of the basic disciplines of the general professional cycle for the direction “Design”. An innovative system of exercises based on authentic texts in the specialty “Color Science” allows Chinese students to prepare for third-year studies in Russia outside the language environment.
