Management of Continuous Foreign Language Education in Higher School

Modern higher education in Russia includes three levels of training: bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and postgraduate courses. Foreign language study is a compulsory part of each level of training. We suppose that the effective formation of foreign language communicative competence is possible when designing a continuous multilevel system of foreign language acquisition in a higher school based on variety. We view a variety in the way that students and teachers are given the freedom to choose an educational variant from a variety of content, technologies, tools and forms based on a selection algorithm. Continuity is achieved by the consistency and succession of the professionally oriented educational content, the non-linear formation of foreign language sub competencies and the activation of linguistic self-education. The aim of the article is to develop a management system for a continuous foreign language education based on a variety. The management activity is aimed at implementing the educational project in the mass education. The establishment and evaluation of the system includes the determination of strategy and implementation mechanisms, requirements for the programs development and creation of methodological and information supports, mechanisms for quality assurance providing in the professionally oriented foreign language education.

Language Communication

Обучение диалогической речи на иностранном языке является одной из ключевых проблем иноязычного образования в силу доминирования данного вида речевой деятельности в ходе иноязычной коммуникации. Авторы статьи анализируют современное состояние вопроса обучения диалогу на английском языке, основные теоретические и практические аспекты обучения диалогической речи: особенности диалога как вида речевой деятельности, систему упражнений для обучения диалогу-расспросу на английском языке. Материалом исследования послужили труды по методике обучения устной речи на иностранном языке (В. Л. Скалкин, Е. Н. Соловова, М. Л. Вайсбурд, И. Л. Бим, М. В. Гайлит, Я. Яноушек, Г. В. Рогова, Н. П. Грачева). В ходе исследования на основе анализа экзаменационных ответов выпускников 9 и 11 классов на основного государственного экзамена (ОГЭ) и единого государственного экзамена (ЕГЭ) авторы статьи выявляют наиболее типичные ошибки и затруднения учеников в заданиях, предполагающих ведение условного диалога-расспроса на английском языке и ответы на вопросы коммуникатора. В статье также приводятся практические результаты проведенного эксперимента по апробации разработанного авторами комплекса упражнений для обучения условному диалогу-расспросу на английском языке в школе, основанного на применении визуальных опор и сочетании индуктивного и дедуктивного подходов к обучению диалогу.

Rogova, N. P. Gracheva). In the course of the study, basing on the analysis of the Basic State Exam and Unified State Exam results, the authors identify the most typical mistakes when making a dialogue in English.
