In this thesis the development of an additional methodological tutorial «Writing for publication» of the book «English for Academics» is proposed for teaching students with the level of English Upper-Intermediate and Advanced to write and publish scientific articles. The relevance of the topic is that in modern conditions for successful and professional realization of a student it is necessary to perform international scientific communication with the help of the foreign language ( English, in particular), because the role of the English language has increased and for today it is regarded as the universal language. The theoretical significance of the research is defined by the analyzed materials which can be contributed to the teaching-methods of the foreign language for scientific purposes. The practical significance is due to the development of the methodological tutorial for teaching English for scientific communication for students with the level of English Upper-Intermediate and Advanced and also possibility to use the materials during English lessons to prepare students for successful writing a scientific article and its publication. The main content of the thesis is disclosed in the chapters: «The idea of scientific communication and processes in its basis» and «Teaching English for writing a scientific article». In conclusion, the research findings are presented. The appendix includes examples of additional exercises which are included in the methodological tutorial. / В магистерской диссертации предложена разработка дополнительного методического пособия «Writing for Publication» к учебнику «English for Academics» для обучения студентов с уровнем английского Upper-Intermediate и Advanced написанию научной статьи и дальнейшей ее публикации. Актуальность темы заключается в том, что в современных условиях для успешной профессиональной реализации студента необходимо совершать международную научную коммуникацию на иностранном языке (английском), поскольку роль английского языка в сфере науки с каждым годом увеличивается и на сегодняшний день его принято считать универсальным. Теоретическая значимость работы определяется тем, что изученный материал вносит вклад в методику обучения иностранному языку в целях научной коммуникации. Практическая значимость исследования заключается в разработке методического пособия по обучению английскому языку для научной коммуникации для студентов уровня Upper-Intermediate, Advanced и возможностью использования материала на занятиях по иностранному языку для подготовки студентов к успешному написанию научных статей, а также их публикации. Основное содержание диссертации раскрывается в главах: «Понятие научной коммуникации и процессы, лежащие в ее основе» и «Обучение английскому языку для написания научной статьи». В заключение даются выводы, полученные в ходе исследования. Приложение включает в себя примеры дополнительных упражнений, которые входят в методическое пособие.

Science communication in Russia has been developing fast during the last several years: new popular science projects, educational programmes for science journalists and science communicators, new media channels have appeared. Social media play a significant role in this process because of its unprecedented capacity to bring science closer to the public. This study is aimed at providing an understanding of how leading Russian science communicators, often famous science journalists and lecturers, manage their VK and Facebook profiles. Content and discourse analysis were used to examine communication strategies and to find patterns in the communication of those responsible for public science promotion. The investigation provided an understanding that 2 out of 5 science communicators devote about 50% of all the content on their pages to science or science popularization domain and miss "a rich opportunity to discuss science with the nonscientists in their networks by actually posting [scientific materials]" (McClain 2017: 4). Analysis of subscribers' likes, comments, and shares demonstrated that people are ready to consume scientific content: the most liked and shared posts on several analyzed pages are connected to these topics. Semi-structural interviews opened up to science communicators' own views of science communication development in Russia and the role of social media in science communication. Interviews confirmed that science communicators comprehend the difference of VK (more suitable for communication with a wide audience) and Facebook (space for communication with other scientists and foreign colleagues). Moreover, they stated that they had strategies for communication with their subscribers in social media, but their number is quite modest. Previous studies focusing on a Russian context have been connected to the contemporary evolution of science communication in Russia. However, these studies rarely analyze the modern market. This thesis aims to bridge the gap and to deepen the understanding of Russian science communication development.
