The article examines the key problems of teaching Russian as a foreign language in a technical university, using the case of Togliatti State University. The authors analyze difficulties related to limited classroom hours, the lack of adapted programs, and the absence of a systematic support structure for foreign students. Possible solutions are proposed, including the introduction of a separate RFL course, the development of methodological support, and the implementation of an adaptation system. The importance of an integrated approach combining linguistic, sociocultural, and psychological aspects is emphasized.

The article examines the integration of mathematical problems with foreign language content as an effective means of developing students’ functional literacy from a linguodidactic perspective. The author analyzes the relationship between language and mathematical competencies, substantiating the need for an interdisciplinary approach in the context of globalization and a multilingual educational environment. Special attention is paid to the “Spotlight” teaching and learning kit, as well as to the typology and functions of mathematical exercises in a foreign language, which contribute to the development of critical thinking, reading literacy, and financial literacy. The paper offers pedagogical recommendations for implementing integrated learning and discusses the prospects of using digital technologies to individualize the educational process.

This article examines the diminishing academic and practical value of traditional translation competitions in the context of the rapid development of machine translation and generative artificial intelligence technologies. The author analyzes the limitations of automated translation systems, identifies the risks of formal assessment of linguistic accuracy, and argues for a shift in focus from the product to the process of translation decision-making. Alternative written formats are proposed that preserve the translation concept while eliminating the mechanical application of neural network tools. The article discusses the principles of constructing assignments aimed at developing metacognitive skills, critical thinking, and intercultural competence in students majoring in non-linguistic fields. It concludes that process-oriented assignments contribute to more effective assessment of translation skills in the context of digital transformation in foreign language education.
