The article highlights some issues of language training of postgraduate students at a technical university. The work provides evidence for purposeful formation of readiness and ability of future academic staff to present the results of their own scientific research in a foreign language at international conferences. The authors assume that learning to create a research presentation with visual aids in English can add both personal and functional significance to the study of the discipline “Foreign Language” at the postgraduate level. The arrangement of discipline studies in graduate school within the Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (Sibstrin) serves as a practical example of the conditions that must be met to achieve the intended learning outcomes.
