The levels of english language acquisition on the basis of problem-solving and product-oriented tasks in the multiligual social medium

© 2016 by iSER, International Society of Educational Research. This article is aimed at revealing similarities and distinctions of the native, Russian and foreign languages in the natural multilingual social medium. The main idea in the research of this problem is realization of the problem-project approach to foreign- language education, principles of which a) determine mutual relations between a teacher and a pupil; b) specify content and structure of teaching material; c) optimize the foreign-language education process organization technology. The article presents the comparable and comparative collation of the native, Russian and English languages, cultures and similar language phenomena to be learned by carrying out of problem- solving and product-oriented tasks at linguistic, speech and spiritual-cognitive levels. This contributes to the development of metacompetences of pupils, expands their linguistic horizons and creates a stable basis for the development of linguistic, speech and sociocultural components of communicative competence

Doppler confirmation of TESS planet candidate TOI1408.01: grazing transit and likely eccentric orbit

We report an independent Doppler confirmation of the TESS planet candidate orbiting an F-type main sequence star TOI-1408 located 140 pc away. We present a set of radial velocities obtained with a high-resolution fiber-optic spectrograph FFOREST mounted at the SAO RAS 6-m telescope (BTA-6). Our self-consistent analysis of these Doppler data and TESS photometry suggests a grazing transit such that the planet obscures its host star by only a portion of the visible disc. Because of this degeneracy, the radius of TOI-1408.01 appears ill-determined with lower limit about $\sim$1 R$_{\rm Jup}$, significantly larger than in the current TESS solution. We also derive the planet mass of $1.69\pm0.20$~$M_{\rm Jup}$ and the orbital period $\sim4.425$ days, thus making this object a typical hot Jupiter, but with a significant orbital eccentricity of $0.259\pm0.026$. Our solution may suggest the planet is likely to experience a high tidal eccentricity migration at the stage of intense orbital rounding, or may indicate possible presence of other unseen companions in the system, yet to be detected.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

National identity colors of the historical city blocks of Kazan

The research is devoted to the architectural identity of historical blocks in Kazan, the capital city of the Republic of Tatarstan. The paper raises the issue of national identity regarding the city blocks in the Old Tatar settlement and explores the history of the architectural environment and gradual decay of its identity, including the national one, by the end of the 20th century. The system of national color identifiers of Tatar architecture is described. The possibilities of their use on different types of buildings and structures are discussed. The experiences in developing and implementing various color solutions in the reconstruction of buildings in the Old Tatar settlement are reviewed. The color environment of the area during reconstruction is analyzed. Productive methods for professional interpretation of national color traditions in the urban environment are revealed. The study has enabled recommendations to be formulated for the development of color solutions for the historical part of the Old Tatar settlement in Kazan with the aim of recreating the national identity of the architectural environment
