The relevance of the study is due to the need to improve the technologies for the development of foreign language socio-cultural competence in foreign students of Master's degree studies in the Humanities in the context of the digital transformation of education. The search for tools that can bridge the gap between traditional approaches to teaching and the requirements of modern multicultural environment, where effective communication involves not only language literacy but also a deep understanding of socio-cultural contexts, is of particular importance. The aim of the study is to analyze the potential of digital scribing technology as a means of developing foreign language socio-cultural competence of foreign students of Master's degree studies who speak Russian at the B1+B2 level. The leading approach of the study was an integrative approach that combines theoretical concepts and practical aspects for a comprehensive analysis of the process of implementing digital scribing technology. The results of the study: increasing involvement, developing creativity, and developing skills for adaptive use of language in non-standard situations. The methodological basis was a theoretical analysis of scientific literature, as well as an empirical assessment of the effectiveness of the proposed learning tasks. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of an algorithm for integrating digital scribing into the educational process and the creation of a specialized set of tasks aimed at visualizing cultural codes and social norms through associative images; analysis of intercultural communicative situations using graphic elements; reflection of linguistic and behavioral patterns in the context of Russian realities. The theoretical significance lies in the creation of a scientific basis for the development of foreign language socio-cultural competence among foreign students of Master's degree studies (level B1 + B2) in the context of digitalization. It offers a theoretically substantiated algorithm for integrating digital scribing into the educational process and reveals the mechanism for visualizing cultural codes and norms through associative images and graphics as a tool for deep understanding of socio-cultural contexts. The practical significance of the study is revealed in providing teachers with a specific tool – a specialized set of tasks based on digital scribing and a clear algorithm for their application in the educational process. This directly contributes to the academic adaptation of foreign students of Master's degree studies in Russia, developing their skills in interpreting cultural meanings and adaptive use of language.

The relevance of the problem under study is determined, on the one hand, by the rapid spread of digital technologies in the modern academic environment, which requires organization and high-quality methodological support, on the other hand, the problem of visibility in teaching a foreign language is in the focus of attention of the modern teacher. One of the tools for high-quality methodological support can be a thematic digital collage aimed at developing foreign language epideictic speech of graduate students in the modern academic environment. The purpose of the study is to present the didactic aspect of the thematic digital collage implementation as a tool for the development of epideictic speech of graduate students in the modern academic environment. The study attempts to clarify the terms “digital collage”, “digital collaging”, “actor-rhetor”. The didactic potential of using thematic digital collage as a tool for developing foreign language epideictic speech of graduate students is justified. The didactic advantages of using digital collage, digital collaging are described; the need for their use in modern academic environment is substantiated. The structural and content characteristics of a graduate student's foreign language rhetorical competence are analyzed. The authors propose an algorithmic prescription for organizing work on the development of foreign language rhetorical and communication skills of graduate students using a complex of structured communicative tasks and rhetorical tasks aimed at overcoming foreign language rhetorical difficulties. The study used the Neyman Pearson lemma to assess the statistical significance of differences in indicators. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that a thematic digital collage has been proposed and implemented as a tool for the development of foreign language epideictic speech of graduate students. The results of the study show that the use of digital collaging and thematic digital collage contribute to the development of foreign language epideictic speech of graduate students, allowing them to effectively respond to a situation or event, showing their uniqueness; achieve focus on current tasks and improve their effectiveness.
