National-regional component in concept of open education courses on russian as foreign language

The goal of the study is to consider the content of open education programs in Russian for the professional foreign cultural community. The need to design working programs considering the capabilities of the national-regional component is justified. The authors consider the adaptation of foreign students in the new urban environment and the formation of sociocultural competence that allows one to actualize efficient communication in the academic and non-academic context. The authors propose approximate options for introducing the national-regional component to open education courses: visualizing and verbalizing significant events or phenomena of the city's everyday artistic culture; introducing representative images of spiritual culture, getting acquainted with key texts and names representing the topoi of Nizhny Novgorod and the region (the image of the Volga, the legendary city of Kitezh; modern song lyrics about the city; prominent names in the history and culture of the city: the painter Ilya Yefimovich Repin and the poet Yevgeniy Dolmatovsky). The authors justify the significance of the text-centric approach to study Russian as a foreign language as well as linguistic disciplines taught in Russian to a foreign-language audience, including when introducing the national-regional component into the structure of academic subjects
