This article presents the results of a theoretical study of discursive competence formation problem among military personnel studying Russian as a foreign language. Modern methodological trends in teaching foreign languages comply with finding ways to increase the effectiveness of learning, one of which, in our opinion, is the need to form a discursive competence. The process of formation of discursive competence has been studied inadequately, in a disordered and fragmented way. We consider that the formation of discursive competence in the process of teaching foreign languages has fundamental importance and it is assumed to be one of the relevant directions for increasing the effectiveness of teaching. The formation of discursive competence should be professionally oriented and take into account the specifics of students in every detail. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodological system aimed at the formation of discursive competence at the Russian as a foreign language classes at a military university. As a result of the theoretical study, the fundamental concepts of designing a methodological system were characterized. The structure of a methodological system was developed based on these concepts, taking into account the methodological features of discursive competence formation in the educational environment of a military university. The methodological system pursues specific goals and solves the tasks of teaching in these conditions, taking into account the characteristics of students. It has been determined that narrowly targeted and thematically oriented teaching contributes to improving the effectiveness of teaching foreign students at military universities in Russia. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the development of a professionally-oriented methodological system for teaching a certain group of foreigners, the uniqueness of which lies in its narrow focus, thematic organization and variability, taking into account the social institution and the category of students. The narrow specificity of the developed system does not limit the scope of its application; the results of the methodological system development can be used for teaching any foreign languages. The practical significance lies in the fact that, as a result of the theoretical study described in this article, the methodological system was practically implemented at Russian as a foreign language classes at a military university.

The purpose of the work is to inform teachers of the Russian language as a foreign language with the specifics of the everyday communication sphere of foreign military personnel - cadets studying in Russian universities. An actual direction in the communicative method of teaching foreign languages is the studying of communication areas and the creation of teaching materials, according to the specifics of the studied area. Identifying the specifics of the students ’communication sphere - the most typical situations and language, as well as taking into account their communicative needs, makes learning more motivated and effective. The article is devoted to the description of the everyday sphere of communication of foreign military personnel – cadets studying in Russian universities. Cadets studying Russian as a foreign language, unlike civilian students, in parallel with the educational process, serve and carry out daily military duties, which requires them to know a slightly different language material. Research methods: content analysis of the text of the Charter of the internal service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation; monitoring the process of everyday communication within the framework of a military educational institution; questioning of cadets and officers of several higher military educational institutions. The everyday communication situations that took place between foreign cadets, officers and employees of the university, native Russian speakers were used as the material of the study. The study resulted in systematization of everyday communication situations and identification of those that caused the greatest difficulties for foreign military personnel. The identified situations may be combined into topic groups and used in classes on the Russian language as a foreign language in military universities. The theoretical results of the study are of interest to teachers working in military universities, practical results may be used for working out methodological materials for the formation of professionally oriented communicative competence of foreign military personnel.
