Abstract

The paper presents a case-study that analyses methods of modelling a multilingual ontology applied to teaching Russian as a foreign language to university students specializing in chemistry. The method was designed and tested to meet the needs of Chinese graduate and postgraduate students who study chemical technologies at a Russian technical university. The paper attempts to give a theoretical justification for the approach that helps students combine the systemic study of professional termi-nology and the semantics of foreign language vocabulary. The approach appears effective, since it organizes knowledge of the subject area and simultaneously spots similarities and differences in the representation of this knowledge in different lan-guages.

Keywords
