The educational guide is intended to prepare international citizens for study at universities and is designed to help them in choosing a future specialty. The manual includes: brief information that allows students to get a general idea of the structure of our university, areas of study and specialties, opportunities for scientific activity, as well as discoveries, start-ups and inventions of scientists of NTU "KhPI". The manual is intended for students and teachers of all forms of pre-university training.

This article is devoted to the problem of studying language of Mathematics which aims to teach a second language (in particular, scientific style) to international students learning Mathematics in Russian. Thematic justification of the study is determined by constantly increasing needs of students in mastering the skills of scientific style of speech which are a key priority for achieving a number of important educational goals (reading scientific and technical literature, writing scientific articles, participating in international conferences, etc.). There are two lines of research concerning languages in their relation to Mathematics teaching. One group of researchers consider a language to be a tool for interpretation of mathematical problems, while others do not speak about language as such, but rather about discourse taking place in Mathematics classroom. In case when L2 is a language of instruction, it is Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) that provides (in addition to unconditional knowledge of the subject) not only linguistic but also communicative competence. The article gives a general characteristic of mathematical language (abstraction, consistency, accuracy, objectivity, saturation with factual information), its phonetic, lexical, morphological, syntactic peculiarities (the way of Russian pronunciation of Latin and Greek letters and mathematical expressions, reading of cardinal and ordinals numbers, mathematical symbols, fractional numbers, etc.; use of terms; use of singular instead of plural, tendency to grammaticalization of verbs, use of passive voice; frequent use of word combinations "adjective + noun" and "noun + noun in Genitive Case"; presence of different types of complex sentences, in particular with the use of subordinating conjunctions); many examples are given. Teaching mathematical language as part of scientific style of speech involves a clear coordination of educational activities of teacher of Mathematics and L2 teacher: the former introduces supportive notes in their discipline for adequate perception of lecture material by students, and the second develops the necessary lexical and grammatical supplement to these notes. The article gives an example of lexical and grammatical supplement on the topic "Arithmetic Operations. Mathematical Signs" used in pre-lecture preparation of international students. This approach improves listening comprehension and communication skills of students, ensures making fewer grammar mistakes, encourages scientific research, and helps in professional communication in general.
