Experience in organizing polylingual environment at university

Abstract

The article actualizes the problem of finding effective forms of organizing students’ activities at a university in a polylingual educational environment. We focus on systematizing the valuable experience gained in organizing the university polylingual environment, based on analyzing the forms of students’ involvement in this environment as the subjects of pedagogical interactions. The paper presents theoretical provisions concerning the content of the concepts “polylingual educational space” and “polylingual environment”. These concepts are considered to be systemic, based on a set of such structural components as information-content, activity-event, value-orientation and communication-norm. The results of the study provide data on various types of research, cultural, leisure and creative activities of students on a polylingual basis, in which they exploit their potential through their immersion in the linguistic environment and the diversity of cultural relations. In a systematic form, we compare the components of the polylingual environment, highlighting their target characteristics and the corresponding forms of the KFU students’ organized activities. The article can be recommended to teachers, employees of institutions organizing leisure activities and the students themselves for their involvement in the polylingual space of the university on a multilingual basis.
