The future of teaching foreign languages is associated with a screen culture, which will contribute to diversification and multiplication of educational sources. Therefore, along with a teacher, hypertext technology and information network claim the role of an authoritative source of knowledge about the world. The image of modern language is the image of hypertext space. The use of hypertext interactive technologies leads to a change in the patterns of knowledge understanding and assimilation, which are related to the visual interpretation of image, form, and color. Thus, the problem of cognition on the basis of hypertext technology lies in learning new forms of dialogue and communication, when instead of a text, a hypertext and a context are being read. The didactic principles and methods traditionally used in teaching foreign languages should be enhanced with new approaches. Thus, students will be able to link the information from the hypertext network with the information they already know and to acquire new knowledge in completely new situations. The hypertext is a complex dynamic and multidimensional textual network, where language usage can be observed, making it possible to effectively form students’ linguistic and communicative competence.

The present article is dedicated to the necessity and importance of continuing teaching students to work with great amount of information in the form of texts, as well as to acquire methods and strategies of this work. Gradual but unfaltering rejection of the use of texts in teaching a foreign lan- guage can lead to lowering the level of its mastering. To understand the deep reasons for the existing situation in this sphere, it is necessary to look at the experts’ opinions of the new generation of young people. In spite of the quick changes in the world, education preserves its strict standards that establish the landmarks upon which the pedagogical and educa- tional processes are built. In the course of several last years the teachers of the department of foreign languages have participated in the preparation of English-language materials for the Olympiads, organized by the RSUH. The author analyzes strategies and tactics of work with big texts, selection of topics, used in these Olympiads, as well as the tasks, developed for operating such texts. These types of work with big amount of information lead us to the neces- sity of forming and developing in students such aspect of the communicative competence, as its text-forming component. Here we can speak about all the skills, technologies, tactics and strategies, that are used to facilitate the stu- dent’ work in the analysis of existing texts, creation of new texts, stimulation of class and home self-study in the spheres of creative scientific and artisticwork, for example, writing an artistic essay or a scientific article.

The article deals with the issues related to the content of one of the higher linguistic functions of a linguistic personality — the argumentative function of language, without which it is impossible for a cognizing person to find an adequate information picture of the world. Besides, the argumentative function of language serves the purposes of forming a number of meta-disciplinary competences of a personality from the block of cognitive universal educational actions: the ability to argue own opinion, to establish cause-and-effect relations, to build logical chains of reasoning, to find contradictions, to draw conclusions of different degree of generalization, etc., directly connected with the development of a person’s ability to critical perception of the surrounding reality — an important component of the personal information security system. As a result of an updated view of the concept of a language personality, as well as an analysis of the content and place assigned to the argumentative function of language in the hierarchy of language functions, the conclusion was made about its increasing role in the life of modern man and about the need to restructure the learning process in order to increase the authority and role of the native language in the education of modern language personality. Practical recommendations have been proposed to create conditions to intellectualize the native and foreign languages in school education by strengthening the argumentative component while developing students’ language competence.

Numerous criticism directed at the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis called forth the viewing of the hypothesis through the prism of language and culture interconnection and check to what extent the linguistic determinism is an applicable and useful tool in foreign language studies. For this reason, the present paper carries out a discussion to construct a somewhat modified version of the linguistic determinism idea by adding to the language–culture unit a third element such as expressiveness. To make the proposed here version of linguistic determinism comprehensible, it has been decided to describe and explain the notions of language, culture, and expressiveness to make them clear and digestible for the purpose of the present discussion. In the course of the discussion, strengthened by quotations from the literature, the main stress is put on the language-culture interconnectedness viewed as the key element determining successful language studies, especially in the foreign languages domain. Finally, the attention is directed at the role of creativity and expressiveness as factors responsible for the level of the language user’s competence, which, in turn, is viewed as creative communicative competence.

The subject of this research is language education as teaching a foreign language; the object of this research is the concepts "competency" and "competence". The authors consider the views of foreign and domestic scientists and researchers on the content of the categories "competency" and "competence", and conduct comparative analysis. Particular attention is paid to the elements of the key competencies, namely communication competence. Analysis is conducted on aspects as "communicative competence" and "communicative tolerance". Communicative competence includes not only the command of languages, but also mastering various social roles in the team and the ability to communicate. The author emphasizes the role of the "Foreign languages" discipline in the formation of communicative competence and communicative tolerance of students . The conclusion is made that communicative tolerance is the component of communicative competence. It is necessary to purposefully cultivate communicative competence in students, as the communicative readiness for tolerant communication with the interaction partners. Teaching students a foreign language form communicative competence aimed at mastering the ability of students to communicate tolerantly. The scientific novelty lies in the statement that communicative competence includes not only the command of languages, but also mastering various social roles in the team and students' skill of tolerate communication. The proposed analysis will be of interest to the scientists dealing with the nature of the categories "competency" and "competence".

Interactive educational technologies have gained popularity in teaching foreign languages. Yet they have not been given enough attention in textbooks for training professional linguists and interpreters in foreign languages. At the same time the professional sphere of linguists is connected with different forms of communication and interaction. Communicate and social skills compose their professional communicative competence in foreign languages. The use of interactive technologies in teaching foreign languages to interpreters and translators fills the gap between the job requirements in this professional sphere and the professional training at universities. In this article we provide a substantial theoretical ground for the efficiency of interactive educational technologies in training linguists and interpreters. The article also describes the procedure and results of the trial training programme for linguists with the use of interactive educational technologies that we conducted at university. We implemented a special complex of tasks based on interaction for developing the professional communicative competence of linguists and interpreters in reading classes in a foreign language. The article provides examples of interactive technologies based on the idea of live communicative interaction. After the implementation of the special complex of interactive tasks into practice the students demonstrated a positive shift in the development of the skills of their professional competence in foreign languages. We analysed the results of the study and proved the efficacy of interactive educational technologies in training future translators and interpreters. The outcomes of the study indicate the increase of the level of the development of professional skills among the linguists students whom we taught with the use of interactive technologies and special interactive tasks. Thus we consider their use a perspective direction of research in the methods of teaching and training linguists and interpreters.
