The One

The relevance of the research stems from the fact that the role of professional foreign language communication is significantly increasing in the context of expanding international contacts, establishment of relations with foreign partners. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the importance of a foreign language in the process of a modern specialist's training in the non-linguistic university. FSES demands professional specifics when learning a language. A foreign language is considered not as a separate, independent discipline, but as the one allowing to acquire special knowledge of terminology in a selected area. The problem of modern specialists is that the low level of foreign language literacy can significantly reduce their competitiveness in the labor market. In this regard, professional-oriented training in foreign languages is a priority direction in modern education. Relying on their own teaching experience, the author emphasizes that professional-oriented texts are easier to cope with the issue of improving motivation to the study of a foreign language. Using a tutorial for bachelors "Horticultural and Landscape Design in English", the author introduces thematic sections and methods used in working with "Landscape architecture" students. When selecting a material for a textbook in a foreign language, a teacher may face certain difficulties. The article provides ways to solve this problem. The author has analyzed scientific literature on the stated topics. Methods of observation, comparison, analysis have been used. It has been concluded that foreign language is a necessary component in the process of training a specialist of any profile.

The Way

The way the communicative method functions in a professionally oriented approach to teaching Ukrainian foreign students of medical specialties has been little studied, and that determines the relevance of this topic. It has been found that there is a controversy in scientific thought concerning the role of both communicative and grammar components of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language. Moreover, modern textbooks do not provide sufficient exercises to develop professional communication. The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of the communicative method in a professionally oriented approach to teaching Ukrainian (as a foreign language), and to develop appropriate exercises and tasks. The conclusion is that in the process of learning to communicate in a foreign language, it is important for students to present and master grammatical material. Samples of tasks and exercises aimed at developing the communicative and grammar competence of foreign medical students in professional communication are presented.
