ORAL BUSINESS COMMUNICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF TEACHING THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE TO STUDENTS OF NON-LINGUISTIC UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

This article examines the theoretical and methodological aspects of developing oral business communication skills among students of non-linguistic universities in the process of learning Russian as a foreign language. Particular attention is paid to the role of professional communication in preparing future specialists for effective interaction in a multilingual and multicultural professional environment. The article analyzes the main components of oral business communication, including linguistic competence, communicative competence, professional vocabulary, speech etiquette, dialogic interaction, and the ability to conduct negotiations and presentations. It also considers effective teaching methods, such as role-playing games, case studies, problem-based learning, simulations, and communicative exercises. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating professional situations into Russian language instruction to develop students’ ability to use the language appropriately in real-life business contexts. The findings suggest that a professionally oriented communicative approach contributes significantly to improving students’ speaking skills, confidence, and readiness for future professional activities.
