Foreign language (for professional purposes), part 2
Foreign language (for professional purposes), part 3
Summary of the subject: The academic discipline "Foreign language (for professional purposes), part 1" is developed for the Institute of Computer Sciences and Information Technologies students.
As a result of a successful study, the level of language proficiency is expected to increase to B1+, which is transitional between the intermediate and advanced levels of an independent language user.
The course is practically oriented, providing students with opportunities to acquire general professional communicative competence in using the English language. Studying is carried out by integrating speaking skills and language knowledge within a familiar general thematic and situational context following a specific academic and professional field of activity of students. Self-education is considered an integral part of this educational course, and special attention is paid to self-studying.
The course "Foreign language (for professional purposes), part 1" takes into account modern trends in language learning and teaching and is based on the following principles:
- internationalism and plurilingualism
- democracy and equal rights
- novelty
- transparency and flexibility
- variability
- integration
The course aims to form general academic and professional communicative competence, which is considered linguistic behaviour specific to the academic and professional environment. Linguistic behaviour requires the acquisition of linguistic competence (speaking skills and language knowledge), sociolinguistic and pragmatic competencies, which are necessary for performing tasks related to study and work. The development of communicative competence occurs according to the students' ability to learn, their subject knowledge and previous experience. It is carried out within the familiar situational context of the study and specialization.
