ACADEMIC ADAPTATION OF FOREIGN MILITARY SERVICEMEN: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH

Abstract

The article deals with a problem of academic adaptation of foreign students studying in military universities of the Russian Federation. The article analyses linguistic and non-linguistic factors influencing the formation of academic adaptation in the educational space of a military university. Due to the different forms of organization of the educational process in the student’s home country and Russia, when working with cadets from far abroad, the teacher should perform the role of a mentor who guides, informs, controls, organizes and stimulates the work of students. It is established that the interaction between the profile and language departments contributes to the improvement of the quality of educational and methodical support of the educational process and, as a consequence, helps to form future specialists’ communicative competence in the educational and professional sphere.
