Social Profile of Mothers Raising Children With Disabilities: A Survey in Rural and Small-Town Russia

Received 19 April 2024. Accepted 6 May 2024. Published online 21 July 2024.Like any other family, families with disabled children have their share of joys and sorrows. However, social attitudes and prejudices towards disabilities often pose more significant challenges than the child’s condition itself. Discrimination against mothers raising disabled children comes to the fore in social interactions, where the child’s disability can unfairly define the mother, subjecting her to stigmatization. The ability of parents, particularly mothers, to mobilize resources is crucial for the family’s well-being, as they often bear the primary responsibility for child care. In Russia, one in three disabled children is raised by only one parent. Social services for families with disabled children are evolving in response to families’ needs, but there is currently no unified system to verify their effectiveness. Our study was conducted in 2024 in Vladimir and Nizhny Novgorod Oblasts and explored sociopsychological distress in families with disabled children. Through semi-structured interviews with 98 women whose children attend social rehabilitation institutions, we gained insights into mothers’ experiences, including their life satisfaction, access to state and social support, as well as daily stigmatization. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by women raising disabled children, highlighting areas of social disadvantage and stigma in provincial contexts

A GUIDELINE FOR PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION STUDIES (BASED ON MARKETING DISCOURSE TEXT SOURCES)

The notion of "professional communication" as it is known in contemporary academic literature is notably ambiguous and multidimensional. This term has gained various interpretations. There are plenty of its definitions in Russian and foreign linguistic literature (dozens in Russian and over a hundred in foreign). The reason for this may be the diversity of academic insights which is implied by multilingual communication issue research. While teaching and learning professional communication, the specification of relevant domain scopes should be prioritized. This article deals with marketing discourse, which is one of the most important institutional discourse types. Intercultural communication skills can be formulated by way of applying certain approaches and principles. While drawing up such competences, a profession-specific factor should be borne in mind. This factor is made up of three components: a linguistic, a communicative, and a cultural component. All the results described in our research are successfully implied in the teaching process in two Russian universities at the courses of linguistics for Philology students. The main goal is to describe the techniques of teaching professional communication, and challenges the students face while mastering the language of their future profession

BREAKING THROUGH IN SUBJECT RANKINGS: IMLICAM EXPERIENCE

For many years now, there has been a certain structure for the existence of universities in the world. Classical university assumes the presence of faculties in many forms of training, centers for continuing education, summer schools, scientific laboratories, etc. In the proposed article the authors will describe in detail the experience of RUDN University, where on the basis of the Faculty of Philology was created Institute of Modern Languages, Intercultural Communication and Migration (IMLICaM). The activities of IMLICaM are aimed primarily at improving the academic reputation of the university and promotion in the subject ranking of Modern Languages. Today RUDN University is placed Top-200 in the subject ranking "Modern Languages" and Top-300 in "Linguistics", which proves the successful performance of IMLICaM. The aim of the article is to describe the steps undertaken to make IMLICaM a ground-breaking subdivision, its main activities (joint research laboratory, students exchange programs, enhancing reputation and establishing close business relationships, etc.), challenges and perspectives

TEACHING MARKETING TRANSLATION: DOS AND DON'TS

The proposed article deals with the problems of training multi-skilled modern translators in accordance with the actual needs of employers interested in forming a personnel reserve taking into account the requirements of the labor market. There is a need to train new-breed highly skilled translators, who speak several foreign languages and are capable of performing numerous types of translation in various kinds of environments. Comprehensive multi-level training of translation personnel will allow, on the one hand, to boost the development of a portfolio of interdisciplinary programs, the status of which is currently not institutionalized, and, on the other hand, to ensure professional mobility of graduates from prestigious language universities (for example, RUDN University and Moscow State Linguistic University). In the current context of the Russian higher education system, the university curriculum implies teaching a foreign language only within the chosen specialty. This brings about a new challenge to teachers and lecturers - to maximize students' extra-linguistic knowledge so that in the future they are able to perform professional activities globally. The authors propose a method of teaching students in marketing specialties, taking into account the needs of the market in a situation of globalization
