The article is devoted to one of the important aspects of teaching Russian as a foreign language at the University - work with media materials. The authors note that overcoming such linguistic difficulties as a variety of word-formation models, expressive-evaluative vocabulary, the use of polysemous words, phraseological units, is not enough for an adequate understanding of the texts, and therefore pay attention to such a group of vocabulary as borrowings. Considering the peculiarities of their use, the authors note borrowed and international words with different connotations in different languages.
