 DOI: 10.24411/2470-1262-2019-10045

Abstract:

The article analyzes the study of the literary works by Anton Chekhov in the American school. The authors examine the role of cognitive scaffolding in the formation of linguo-rhetorical competence of students on the material of Chekhov’s short story “A Problem” (Zadacha). А model of cognitive scaffolding design is proposed from the position of the development of a professional multilingual personality in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The object of consideration were the components of the national rhetorical ideal according to the theory of A. Skovorodnikov. The сonnection of cognitive scaffolding with the specific character of national mentality of students is shown on the example of the applied strategies for activation of students’ understanding, thinking, speech activity.

Methods of formation of students’ representation of the national rhetorical ideal in the culture of another nation through empathy and linguocultural analysis allow to show the differences in cognitive scaffolding in the didactics of the American and Kazakh schools. The reason is seen in the specific features of natural bilingualism in Kazakhstan, in the proximity of Russian and Kazakh cultures in the conditions of a compact residence.

The system of cognitive scaffolding is developed in terms of irony, author’s style and genre transformation. The personal involvement of national experience of understanding common axiological values is considered as a factor of social attractiveness of education. The effectiveness of using cognitive scaffolding in the formation of linguo-rhetorical competence is associated with the strategies of semantic reading, the formation of reader literacy, a combination of receptive and productive activity of students.

Keywords: linguo-rhetorical competence, cognitive scaffolding, empathy, rhetorical ideal, speech activity, active educational methods, Anton Chekhov, the short story “A Problem” ((Zadacha).
