The article is devoted to pedagogical interaction modeling of teaching a foreign language in multiethnic groups of the University. The basis for modeling is the textbook of English designed specifically for students of different ethnic groups in order to develop different language skills along with the skills of proper intercultural interaction, successful social adaptation, as well as self-education skills. The content of the textbook is divided into thematic units - modules. Special attention is paid to the text selection as a main communicative and didactic unit of educational content. The practical tasks are classified into three groups. The first group tasks are based on the teaching methods and techniques outside the communicative reality. The second group tasks involve teaching in educational communicative reality. The third group tasks are developed to contribute teaching in natural communicative reality.
