methods


Explanation:
In English, I think just "methods" would do for both. Words like "methodology" do exist but are hardly ever used. You can probably find as much pompous-sounding bureaucratic jargon in English as in Russian in general, but in this particular case I would go for the simple word "methods" in both cases.
