Formation of educational culture in foreign students studying Russian as a foreign language at the preparatory faculty of the university

the modern system of teaching foreign students at the university is based on the principles of continuity and stage-by-stage approach and includes an important stage – the preparatory faculty, integrating linguistic training with adaptation to future professional activity in the Russian-speaking academic environment. One of the priority goals of teaching foreign students at the preparatory faculty of the university is the formation of their educational culture, considered as a complex personal characteristic expressed in a system of stable cognitive motives, value orientations, possession of rational methods of educational activity and norms of academic communication necessary for successful mastering of the main educational program. The aim of the conducted research is to develop a methodology for the formation of educational culture of foreign students studying Russian as a foreign language at the preparatory faculty of the university. This research is oriented toward a tripartite objective: elucidating the conceptual and semantic dimensions of "educational culture of foreign students," examining the distinctive characteristics of its formation process among learners of Russian as a foreign language, and establishing a set of optimal methodological approaches for cultivating said culture at the preparatory faculty level of a higher education institution. Potential for the practical application of the research findings lies in the development of scientific and methodological support for the educational process at the preparatory faculty, a specialized framework comprising integrated curricula, practical training modules, and criteria-based diagnostic tools, all designed for the targeted development of academic culture components in parallel with the study of the Russian language and fundamental principles of future core disciplines.
