The article scrutinizes the problem of writing a specialized manual for a particular target group such as the military. The aim of the article is to determine the conceptual platform for the creation of a new-generation Russian language manual for military personnel, and to determine the specifics of its content. The objectives of the study also include determining the scope and principles of the selection of teaching material, in particular linguocultural, which ensures adequate communication in Russian. The research is based on the descriptiveanalytical method. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)It comprises many issues that are related to the linguistic particularities of designing a manual. Thus, a textbook on the Russian language for military personnel should ensure that students develop a whole range of competencies related to oral and written language proficiency, which are combined into a general communicative competence. Communicative competence is based on the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired in the course of training, providing the opportunity to participate in speech communication in its different types: receptive (listening, reading) and productive (speaking, writing). Therefore, the content of communicative competence consists of the following types of competence, such as linguistic (language) competence, which implies a set of knowledge about language elements and the ability to use them to express individual thoughts and comprehend them to others. Moreover, speech competence implies knowledge that is important to express numerous ideas through quite a few language means, which make possible to organize and implement them into a speech action so that to realize communicative intention. In addition, the concept of communicative competence can also include social competence. For instance, desire and ability to enter into communication with other people and discursive competence (knowledge of the rules of constructing a coherent oral and written message - discourse), subject and strategic competence (ability to choose the most effective ways to master the material and use it in solving communicative tasks). All of these types of competence need to be taken into account when creating textbooks, study books, and manuals designed to teach the Russian language to military personnel. Consequently, all texts, tasks, and materials presented in them should be aimed at creating all of the aforementioned competencies. Naturally, the material placed in a textbook should be multi-layered - it should contain linguacultural, social, professional, etc. aspects in addition to purely linguistic information.

Foreign language competences for the military personnel of Lithuania and NATO are essential in sustaining National Security of the alliance especially by effectively performing their military duties that include not only specific military art but also administrative and managemental. The Military Academy of Lithuania is a unique higher educational institution that prepares specialists in administration, management, and other fields. Therefore, being a cadet of the Academy, he/she acquires all the necessary competences to obtain proficiency in these fields. However, the cadets of the Academy considerably need foreign language competences so that they could actively, successfully, and professionally conduct their duties not only locally but also participating internationally in various military organizations and missions. Thus, in many cases military's success in multinational operations very often depends on soldiers' ability to communicate and express themselves in English or any other foreign language. In this "global village" it is practically inconceivable to make career without the knowledge of the English or any other foreign language. Thus, the aim of the research is to analyze the role of foreign language competencies acquired at the Lithuanian Military Academy where cadets obtain qualifications and foreign language competences needed for successful career making, National and International security. Therefore, the objective of the research is how theoretically and practically resolve the issue of developing new linguistic competences in foreign languages necessary for MAL cadets through analyses of the results of the questionnaire.

The article scrutinizes the importance of sustaining secure ambience for cadets of the Military Academy of Lithuania (MAL) via balancing emotions and perception in attaining accelerated second language learning and acquisition. This Confluent approach to the second language learning and acquisition was constructed by the teachers of MAL to facilitate and accelerate the second language learning and acquisition of the learners via sustaining secure ambience through balancing their emotions and cognitive features necessary for gaining best effect of second learning and acquisition. Consequently, the already constructed Confluent (holistic, emotionally and cognitively balanced) second foreign language learning and acquisition approach, will significantly sustain secure ambience for the learners which will lead to accelerated foreign language learning and acquisition. In terms of verification of this hypothesis, the research was carried out with cadets of the Military Academy of Lithuania. Experimentally achieved results are presented in the article.
