Metasubject educational outcomes in the contents of English textbooks for school students
Abstract
Cambridge University Press, Macmillan Publishers, Prosveshcheniye Publishers as well as materials on the development of competencies for life prepared by Cambridge University and Macmillan Publishers. The research was carried out using qualitative analysis. The results showed that all textbooks under analysis contain tasks that develop competencies for life or general learning skills. Three ways of their integration into the content of foreign language teaching were identified: including communicative and information processing tasks aimed at developing communication, cooperation, critical thinking skills/ communicative and cognitive general learning skills; including tasks aimed at learning-to-learn competency / cognitive and regulatory general learning skills; including competencies for life and general learning skills as a lesson aim and topic. The results obtained can be used in foreign language lessons and extracurricular programs aimed at the development of general learning skills or life competencies.

Genitive definitions in the chronicle of Worms (XVI century)
Abstract
The article is devoted to the essential issue of the historical stylistics of German – the development of the "nominal" or "substantive" style in the Early Upper German period (XIV-XVII centuries). The research was based on the chronicle of Worms (XVI century) that represents one of the most popular genres of the period. The purpose of article is to analyze the topology and frequency of various types of genitive definitions of a noun in the text. We distributed nuclear nouns into seven semantic groups with a total number of examples of about 160.
The results obtained allow making following conclusions. The prepositive genitive prevails only in the groups of Nomina agentis and relational names. The connection between semantics and the topology of the genitive is hard to trace. Thus, the genitives of subject, object and possessive genitive are distributed between the pre- and postposition almost equally, with some preponderance of the latter. Genitivus definitivus and partitivus tend to postposition. With regards to parameters under consideration, the Worms chronicle corresponds to the general tendency in the XVI century, that is, to move genitive definitions into postposition.

Analysis of business Chinese teaching content (based on Chinese and Russian textbooks)
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of current Russian and Chinese business Chinese teaching materials that can potentially be used in teaching business Chinese to nonlinguistic students. This article analyzes the teaching content of business Chinese textbooks by using the comparative research method.
It is based on the training aids, which are currently used both in China and abroad, and analyzes their compliance with the current requirements of teaching business Chinese in the Russian higher educational institutions. The article is recommended for Chinese language teachers in higher education institutions who teach Chinese or business Chinese in nonlinguistic specialties, where Chinese is the first or second foreign language. The article deals with textbooks of Russian and foreign authors on business Chinese language and analyzes them for the possibility to give lessons on these textbooks to the students of non-linguistic specialties.
The author studied several textbooks, including two English-Chinese and three Russian-Chinese textbooks. Based on the conducted comparative analysis, the English-Chinese textbooks are aimed at studying business Chinese in the format of additional language courses, this course does not imply an undergraduate course, as the lessons are designed for fewer hours, they contain a large amount of vocabulary, dialogues and some cultural explanations, at the same time they do not contain tasks for working on the vocabulary, translation tasks and grammar exercises, which gives minimal information assimilation and can lead to a shortage of information. Russian textbooks, on the other hand, assume a university education, with a sufficient number of hours of study. However, these textbooks assume studying Chinese as the first foreign language, which does not correspond to the current reality, where Chinese is most often the second foreign language in non-linguistic specialities, which significantly reduces the number of hours planned for its study.
Based on the data obtained, the strengths and weaknesses of each textbook have been identified and their relevance to the format of teaching Russian undergraduate students of non-lingual majors, but learning Chinese.
