The Linguocultural Aspect of Teaching Reading Skills in a Foreign Language
Abstract
Studying a foreign linguoculture begins with the perception of linguistic and cultural information, primarily in the process of reading, as the text is not only a cultural phenomenon, but also a guardian of culture, a form of its existence and therefore requires understanding both at the level of language and at the level of culture. One of the ways to implement the linguocultural approach to teaching analytical reading at the advanced level of a linguistic university is the linguocultural analysis of the text, which is regarded as one of the most effective means of interpreting linguistic and cultural phenomena, identifying cultural discrepancies, comparing traditions and values of different cultures, and adequately perceiving foreign language speech acts.

Modern Language Labs and Ad-hoc Software in the Interpreter Training
Abstract
The article explores ways of automating the playing-recording cycle for more efficient oral interpreting training in computer classes. In particular the authors note difficulties due to specific listening-speaking algorithm in consecutive interpreting. The effort leads to the analysis of modern language labs, corresponding features of personal mobile devices, as well as VBA-powered solutions. This revealed the need for an intermediary application that would complement language labs to meet the training needs in the context of consecutive and bilateral interpreting.

Обучение синонимическим лексическим единицам китайского языка в контексте когнитивного подхода
Abstract
The article shows that in order to eliminate interference errors among students when teaching synonymous lexical units of the Chinese language in practical classes in a foreign language, it is necessary to introduce information about conceptual representations that are regularly reproduced in the semantics of the lexeme. The research material was the synonymous Chinese verbs 穿 and 戴. To solve linguistic and didactic problems it is proposed to model the conceptual structure of a lexical unit, which is based on concepts that motivate its compatibility with heterogeneous nouns.

Software for Teaching Musical Notation to Preschoolers Using Musical Color Information
Abstract
Based on the fact that color can perform two functions (signal and emotional) we assume that these two above-mentioned functions can form the basis for teaching musical notation to preschool children. The article presents a description of software used in the process of mastering musical notation by preschoolers based on the use of the signal function of color music. This software product is based on the algorithm for matching color and localizing a specific note on the staff. The program “Musical Rainbow” first developed by us is written in the Python 3 programming language and offers real-time sound visualization with the option to select an audio device or visualize sound from an audio file. The practical use of the proposed program is implemented gradually.
