The author shows, using the example of the largest national community in the United States, the Germans, how the process of migration, adaptation, integration into society of millions of migrants takes place. Germans in the United States are a historical and ethnological phenomenon that confirms many of the general laws of social development. In this article, the author examines the features of the professional development of Germans in the United States. It is shown that immigrants in the first generation worked mainly in agriculture, were employed in heavy industries, thus constituting the "proletariat" in its then understanding. Many traditionally founded German enterprises, in particular, breweries. Later, a layer of the rich from among the Germans formed, and only in the second and subsequent generations an interest in creative professions and in science awakened. Professional development, according to the author, is the most important factor in entering the social structure of the adopted society. This article is a continuation of the author's previously published research on Germans in the United States.

Key words: migration, adaptation of migrants, Germans in the USA, American Germans.

 

An integral part of teaching a foreign language at the present stage of development of methodological science is the development of intercultural competence of students, that is, the formation of communicative skills based on the idea of the norms of communication in the studied language. It is obvious that foreign language study should involve not only the possession of language forms (phonetic, morphological, syntactic, lexical), but also get the appropriate knowledge about the culture of the language, the traditions, the system of value orientations of native speakers, that is, the formation of intercultural competence. Of course, learning foreign languages is inextricably linked with the study of culture. As E. V. notes. Dmitrieva, "the goal of teaching foreign languages is to develop the ability and readiness of students to interact adequately in a situation of intercultural communication based on communicative and intercultural competence". This problem is particularly relevant today for Russian students who study Chinese, since Chinese language training at the University starts from "zero". Therefore, the formation of cross-cultural competence should begin with the first classes of students.

Cross-cultural competence is particularly important in the professional training of an interpreter, since the ability to perform not only adequate and equivalent, but also correct translation significantly increases the success of the translator, who is an intermediary in situations of communication between native speakers of different languages-representatives of different cultures.

Key words: intercultural competence, learning system, Chinese and Russian language, foreign language, culture.

 

The article deals with a cycle of poems by Prince Charles de Ligne (1735-1814), addressed to our compatriots. The list of fifty poems of the “Russian cycle” is given, that have not yet been published in Russian. The question is raised about their place in the literary heritage of Prince de Ling. The identity of the addressees is revealed. The author shows that these are mainly representatives of the highest St.-Petersburg aristocracy at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The circumstances of the creation of some poems, which determined their pathos, are explained. A genre classification is proposed. It is shown how the author in every poem preserves a chamber tone, playful and benevolent, in the spirit of that time. It is noted that the poems of the “Russian cycle” by Prince de Ligne are a monument to the high-society Russian cosmopolitanism of the Enlightenment era.

Key words: Charles de Ligne, The Russian Empire, aristocracy, poems.
