The Peculiar Features of Forming Communicative Competence While Teaching the Russian Language and Speech Culture to Physics Students

In the modern world, the democratization of economic relations, the rapid development of technology, and increased information accessibility affect the content and structure of industrial production, support systems, the social atmosphere and, accordingly, requests for education and training. The issue of training technical and natural science specialists is an urgent issue. Success in professional activities, in interpersonal relationships, and other social spheres requires a young specialist to effectively use natural language as a tool for creating high-quality products of speech activity: texts in scientific and business styles, various communicative acts. The promotion of the Russian language in the world, which is of great concern to Russian scholars, largely depends on how confidently the Russian language will take a leading position as an international language of science. It seems that the Russian language as a language of science should be preserved through collective efforts. The purpose of the study was to identify the specifics of developing communicative competence among physics students. It has been revealed that referring to physical terms helps to update the knowledge of yesterday's schoolchildren, promotes the development of long-term memory, and serves as propaedeutics for studying specialized disciplines. The process of forming universal and professional competence of physics students within the framework of studying the Russian language and speech culture is inseparable. The work methods we propose contribute to the development of communicative competence, taking into account the interdisciplinary connection between “Russian Language and Speech Culture” and “Physics”. The tasks we have developed with the inclusion of borrowed scientific and technical terms, eponymous, synonymous and homonymous terms, can be used in classroom and independent work, both for the formation of communicative competence, and for its measurement and assessment.
