Research abstract: In recent years, the term “multilingual learning” has been actively used in language education. The main idea of multilingual education is teaching several foreign languages not in isolation from each other, but in close connection, taking into account the complex processes of language interference (positive and negative), with the obligatory reliance on the native language of students. In the process of designing a multilingual educational space, a lack of definition of methodological approaches of philological and cultural studies based on a comparison of languages, literature and cultures, including diachronic studies, became apparent, since the historical layer is the basis for comparing modern languages. One of the urgent tasks of comparative linguistics is also to ensure the complete transfer of information from one language to another. Synchronous comparative studies of languages are carried out, first of all, in scientific works on the theory of translation.
The research in “Methodology for Comparing Linguistic Cultures using Synchronic and Diachronic Approaches” is based on the ideas of leading Russian scientists representing different linguistic schools: St. Petersburg (Prof. T. A. Repina, Prof. A.I. Varshavskaya, Prof. A.V. Fedorov, Prof. L.P. Chakhoyan), Moscow (Prof. A.D. Reichstein, Prof. I.I. Chernyshev), Yekaterinburg (Prof. A. P Chudinov) and others.
For several years, the group have been conducting research in the field of comparative linguistics at the synchronous and diachronic levels, linguistic and cultural studies and translation studies. As a result, candidate and doctoral dissertations have been defended and are being prepared for defense; numerous scientific papers have been published. Based on the research, software for new educational programs is being developed. Master program was opened.

Research abstract: Research is conducted in four areas:
Scientific novelty is determined by the goals and objectives of the research area, namely: • determination of the scientific and methodological foundations and content of the program and didactic support of foreign and intercultural education in the context of the management of foreign and intercultural communication; • defining the essence, laws and principles of improving foreign language and intercultural education, taking into account the personal development potential of the studied languages and cultures and their interdisciplinary connection with other educational areas; • the study of the consistent and continuous socializing properties of native, foreign and national languages as educational disciplines in their didactic relationship; • highlighting the interdisciplinary minimum of cultural concepts used in sociocultural analysis and interpretation of the products of the studied cultures, facts, phenomena and events in languages and cultures, analysis and generalization of modern trends in the development of foreign language and intercultural education on a global scale; • development, justification and implementation of theoretical approaches to the creation of an integrated multi-level dynamic and flexible management system for domestic foreign and intercultural education.
