Abstract: The purpose of the study is to identify possible problems and causes of insufficient motivation of students of Moscow International University in the field of Linguistics to study foreign languages, as well as to develop ways to eliminate these problems to improve the effectiveness of the training system for translators and teachers of foreign languages in Russia. The following methods were used: individual and group interviews, the method of focus groups using brainstorming, writing creative reasoning-essays, questionnaires, analysis of statistical data and a review of scientific literature. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that it allowed to develop recommendations on the implementation of systemic changes in the organizational work of universities to increase students' motivation to study. The results of the study can be used to develop strategic plans for the development of education in conditions of international isolation.
Based on the results of the study, the following recommendations were developed:
1. The use of blended learning opportunities provides flexibility, interactivity, individualization, diversity and instant feedback. A balance should be maintained between independent work and online consultations, setting aside enough time for students to interact personally with classmates and teachers.
2. It is recommended to set marks based on the results of current academic performance. This provides students with clear goals, feedback, supports active participation in the learning process and significantly reduces stress levels.
3. It is important to use a 10-point mark system characterized by simplicity and clarity, a wider range of grades, the possibility of differentiating academic performance levels and a more accurate measurement of the level of knowledge.
4. The transition to a consistent modular study of disciplines gives you the opportunity to choose and control over learning.
5. Investing in point-to-point construction of dormitories at universities will eliminate most of the factors that demotivate students: fatigue during long journeys, morning inefficiency, problems with punctuality, loss of time and limitation of extracurricular interaction.

Abstract: The authors offer ideas that can form the basis of such a course as "The basics of creating an educational and methodological complex" for teachers of foreign languages.The purpose of the article is to describe the objectives of such a course and how to achieve them. The methodological basis of the study is the analysis of two groups of teaching materials: 1) teaching materials in English, used as the main subjects for teaching "Foreign language" and "Practice of speech of the first foreign language" at "MOSCOW INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY" and 2) a group of textbooks, authored by adherents of the intensive method of teaching foreign languages. The choice of lexical and grammatical topics of the UMK data, their continuity from level to level is analyzed. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of the vocabulary used was carried out. The methods of teaching used in the data of the UMK, hourly planning of the development of the UMK by students are investigated. The structure of the UMC, the types of exercises used, and ways to control students' knowledge are determined. The novelty of the study is to identify the main tasks, the solution of which involves the creation of a CMM:
1. determine the age of the students
2. determine the final level of knowledge and skills to which it is necessary to bring the trainees
3. determine the initial level of knowledge and skills of the trainees
4. determine the rate of assimilation of the material
5. determine the vocabulary of the textbook
6. determine the structure of the grammar of the textbook
7. determine the types and types of basic exercises
8. determine the structure of the UMK
9. determine ways to control the knowledge and skills of the student
