Solving the problem of ensuring the protection of confidential information when negotiating in an office space is important. It is proposed to implement a unified systematic approach to assessing the security of information based on the measurements and the formation of control actions on the elements of the information security system. A methodology has been developed for constructing a research complex for monitoring the security characteristics of corporate information, which provided the creation of software and hardware complex "Means of protecting information from leakage through technical channels." A mockup of this hardware and software complex has been assembled, special software has been developed that allows to study the process of information leakage through technical channels and to optimize the characteristics of the confidential information protection system. The concept of constructing an individual trajectory for training complex operators and information security specialists is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the issue of developing intercultural competence in the process of teaching a foreign language to engineering students. The intercultural competence is a complex of knowledge, skills and personal characteristics that contribute to the choice of adequate solutions of communicative tasks and effective intercultural interaction. In the course of studying a foreign language, it is necessary for students to learn to perceive certain phenomena inherent for a different culture in comparison with comparable phenomena of the native culture as well as analyze communication failures in intercultural communication and, if possible, avoid or clarify them. The authors claim that the development of students’ motivation for independent research of other cultures is more important than foreign culture knowledge. The authors conclude that the success of language training in preparing students for intercultural communication largely depends on the choice of teaching methods. The authors suggest their methods and propose to devise assignments based on the principles of consciousness and activity in teaching foreign languages. Some tasks that contribute to improving students’ intercultural communicative competence are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adaptive education model as a modern implementation of the well-known pedagogical principle of instruction individualization is becoming increasingly popular. However, effective adaptive learning cannot be effective and functional without adaptive testing. The paper examines the prerequisites for using models of adaptive instruction in general and adaptive testing in particular. The experience of using computer-based adaptive tests, in the context of a group of about fifteen students with different levels of training, different cognitive and linguistic abilities, with different levels of motivation is described, computer-based and paper-based tests are compared, features of adaptive tests are determined. The area of application of adaptive tests in linguo-didactic testing is considered. Among the shortcomings of computer adaptive testing are the discrepancy between the planned complexity of a real issue and the fact that computer testing is not always creative; the authors conclude that tests do not replace or abolish other control methods, but they supplement them. Only effective combination of different types of control can help the teacher to get a complete and objective picture of the student's achievements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
