Abstract

This research is carried out in line with modern linguistic works that study scientific and educational scientific texts from both linguistic and linguodidactic points of view. A systematic approach to the problem allows us to analyze the specifics of multi-profile and interdisciplinary educational tests, to draw conclusions that their functional parameters are determined by two main factors: the nature of the content and the way of presentation - considering the linguistic features that distinguish them from other academic scientific texts. The relevance of the research is related to the importance of the issues raised in the study of the educational scientific text, with the need to identify the appropriate metalanguage forms and functional specifics of their implementation in certain types of educational text. In the article, the authors refer to various types of educational scientific text aimed at foreign students with a level of proficiency in the B1-B2 language, draw attention to their terminological significance and undoubted linguodidactic value and analyze in detail their functional potential. When selecting and adapting educational scientific texts of various types focused on the B1-B2 levels, it is necessary to consider the complexity and authenticity of the lexical material, including the definitional one. The volume of the submitted scientific text should also be considered. The authors draw conclusions about the certain effectiveness of presenting several small texts on the topic, rather than analyzing one voluminous one. From a linguodidactic point of view, this allows you to change activities, switch attention and generally make all work more productive. Thus, working with scientific text of various profiles, taking into account the creative orientation of students, the active use of visibility, attention to functional potential and linguistic and didactic parameters allow us to make classes in Russian as a foreign language meaningful and productive in terms of studying the specifics of scientific text at the B1-B2 level.
