FL communicative competence is composed of inherent components, such as: knowledge of the means of the target language and socio-cultural context in which these means are used. Also it implies certain skills of building a FL discourse, which generate a culturally-significant creative speech product. The article examines some communicative-cognitive approaches to introduce knowledge to students. Analytical analysis of intellectual actions with words leads researchers to the understanding that they create cognitive retention of the material, which is then withdrawn by the speakers from the back of their memory and used in speech. Self-organizing personalities actualize the text based on a real situation, in the form of a discourse. Therefore, educational environment should provide student’s immersion in the environment of FL culture and vocationally-marked situations and problems. This becomes possible with the network model, which involves a discussion of personal achievements compared to the joint, collective product. In fact, this model is highly interactive because it implements emotions and values, interactional and ideological functions of communication.

The main purpose of this article is to present the development and evolution of two fundamental components of the communicative competence in the teaching of foreign languages: pragmatics and interculturality. We will analyze different visions of pragmatic competence and intercultural competence, which are sometimes treated as synonymous concepts. We will focus our attention on the problems observed in class as a consequence of the great diversity of cultural contexts in which Spanish is learned, highlighting the importance of activating the development of both competences in class and the need to learn to negotiate linguistic and cultural meanings within a cultural context different from that of the target language. Finally, we will present the results of a study carried out with students from a Polish and a German university, whose objective was to analyze the previous attitudes of students from different faculties towards two competences that should always go hand in hand: pragmatics and interculturality.

Currently, in the context of the widespread use of e-learning technologies and distance educational technologies, it is necessary to train future teachers, taking into account the peculiarities of solving professional problems in an electronic information and educational environment, to develop students' relevant competencies, including network communicative competence. Despite the large number of studies devoted to the communicative aspect of the teacher's activities, the problem of the formation of network communicative competence in the electronic information and educational environment has not been sufficiently studied. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, the results of the questionnaire survey of students, some methods of forming network communicative competence in future teachers in the study of various disciplines, in the course of teaching practice, and scientific research are proposed. The analysis of the conditions and factors that determine the choice of methods for the formation of the specified competence has been carried out. These factors are associated with the teachers' perception of the peculiarities of communication in the electronic information and educational environment, the didactic and communicative potential of resources and tools of the electronic information and educational environment, the choice of methods and technologies for organizing interaction, the selection of educational material that allows the development of components of network communicative competence, the design of tasks and exercises for the development of network communicative competence, the choice of modes, schemes and forms of organization of interaction, the organization of feedback, control of the level of formation of the network communicative competence, the implementation of reflection. The formed network communicative competence will contribute to a more effective solution by the teacher of communicative tasks in the electronic information and educational environment, which will improve the quality of training of future teachers in the electronic information and educational environment.

The article presents the results of the study of satisfaction with the psycho-didactic component of the educational environment as an indicator of threats to the psychological health of schoolchildren in three groups: parents, teachers and heads of educational organizations. The total number of respondents in the sample was 16,808 people. Satisfaction with the educational environment in the following characteristics was studied: satisfaction with 1) the content of education, 2) the conditions of training, 3) the techniques of training and education used in educational organizations. A pairwise comparison of the results obtained in three groups of respondents revealed statistically significant differences in all characteristics. At the same time, parents showed the highest degree of satisfaction with the psycho-didactic component of the educational environment, which may be due to their insufficient involvement to the educational process and incomplete awareness of the real situation in the schools. Teachers and school heads are less satisfied with the psycho-didactic component of the educational environment and therefore see more risks and threats to the psychological health of children.

Abstract ESP teaching has traditionally centred on the discourse practices of specific genres to develop students’ discursive competence in the target language. However, with the advent of studies on multimodality, there has been a growing recognition that new pedagogical approaches are required in ESP teaching. In this study, we discuss a research-informed pedagogical proposal to deal with job interviews, a highly routinised spoken genre that is typically addressed in Business English courses. Drawing on previous literature (Cope, B. and Kalantzis, M. (2015). The things you do to know: an introduction to the pedagogy of multiliteracies. In: Cope, B. and Kalantzis, M. (Eds.), A pedagogy of multiliteracies. Learning by design. Palgrave MacMillan, Hampshire, pp. 1–36; Lim, F.V. (2018). Developing a systemic functional approach to teach multimodal literacy. Funct. Ling. 5: 1–17), we present a pedagogical proposal that aims to promote students’ awareness of the multimodal nature of job interviews and develop their multimodal communicative competence through instruction, practice and feedback.

This paper aims to highlight the importance of errors and mistakes as an essential part in the process of teaching and learning foreign languages (FL). We understand that, while trying to produce meanings in the foreign language, learners, through some errors and mistakes, can develop the mental structures necessary for the consolidation of the target language. In this way, mistakes can e a strong tool indicator for teachers to assess and also to understand how far learners are in relation to the intended knowledge, according to objectives outlined in learning programs. The theoretical approach that orients our way of thinking is based on the point of view of some theorists, such as: Brito (2014); Corder (1967; 1985), Cavalari (2008); Richards and Rodgers (2004); Silva (2014); Simões (2007), among others. The results have demonstrated that the teacher, as a mediator of knowledge, must have a balanced attitude towards the students’ learning needs in order to help the learners to reach their best in the learning process. So, with this study, we expect that, in Teacher Education, mistakes could not be seen as something negative, but positive and necessary for the development of the student’s communicative competence.

With the accordance to the formation of the psychological portrait of contemporary Russian youth in the sociocultural space, the author’s hypothesis is that in the modern conditions of sociocultural communicative competence, the sociocultural space becomes a necessary aspect in the development of the socialization of the Russian students. The object of the study is the Russian student youth, and the subject is an analysis of the nature of the influence of sociocultural communicative competence on the Russian youth socialization. Such social factors as: the influence of the place of residence on the level of student competence; the influence of place of residence on the level of claims; the influence of parental capital on the level of academic performance and level of professional claims; the effect of income on competence and the effect of income on professional claims, are necessary elements for students to achieve their goal, namely to receive an elite education, based on the base they have. The results showed that the higher education of the parents and the status of the university they graduated from creates a more favorable ground for the successful career of their children. Personal experience of parents determines the ability to choose the level of professional claims of students.

The Relationship

This paper deals with communication networks of four upper-intermediate level Japanese language learners with in-country experience who are studying at an Australian university, and it also examines the relationship between the learners’ networks and language learning. Utilizing Boissevain’s criteria for network analysis, I compared the characteristics of the informants’ current networks with those that existed prior to their in-country experiences. In addition, this study applied the framework of communicative competence developed by Hymes and Neustupny to analyse the informants’ language learning that occurred within their networks. The study found that a number of characteristics of the informants’ networks, such as their multiplex social roles and the variety of backgrounds of their Japanese network interactants, were probably related to the raising of the learners’ non-linguistic as well as linguistic awareness. It therefore appears that learners’ out-of-class communication networks with native speakers of the target language play an important role in terms of language learning.

This paper argues for an integration of the notion of communicative competence in the elaboration of syllabuses and the preparation of teaching materials for beginning and intermediate generalforeign languagecourses. A distinction is made between such courses and the teaching of English as a medium of wider communication on an international basis. In FL instruction, as opposed to the teaching of a MWC, metalinguistic, epilinguistic, or cultural objectives may be more highly valued than the use of language for daily communication. In addition, the general context of FL instruction precludes the authentic use of the target language in the classroom, a prerequisite for the attainment of communicative competence. The integration of the notion of communive competence in FL instruction, including the inclusion of notions and functions, involves the grafting of these last mentioned considerations onto a structural-situational-functional base. That base would be modified by moving in five directions: (1) adopting a functional orientation, i.e., providing learners with linguistic means to express notions and functions rather than the teaching of structures for their own sake; (2) focus on semantic notions; (3) cyclical progression; (4) aiming for discursive authenticity by identifying rhetorical devices) providing stylistic manoeuver by the recognition of the role of variants.

The problem of formation of information and communicative competence of students-philologists on the basis of the basic provisions of the European educational policy also is the purpose of our research. Selection of basic (key, universal) competencies is one of the important tasks of updating the content of education. Information and communicative competence of the individual is characterized by its adaptability, free possession of verbal and nonverbal means of communication, attitude to cognitive activity, to the natural and social world, to himself.Thus, updating the content of general education is associated with the pedagogical problem of forming information and communication competence. To reveal the meaning of the concept of “information and communication competence” in the article we consider its components. After all, for our study, competence is important not only in terms of sound knowledge, but also the ability to optimally and independently respond to the emergence of non-standard situations in the process.In our opinion, information and communication competence, based on the studied sources, includes: holistic worldview and scientific worldview, which are based on understanding the unity of the basic information laws in nature and society, the possibility of their formal, mathematical description; ideas about information objects and their transformation in human practice, including with the help of information technology, hardware and software that implement these technologies; a set of general and professional knowledge and skills, social and ethical norms of human behavior in the information environment.Accordingly, we determine the characteristics of the designed educational environment, in the basis for the formation of information and communication competence of the individual. We consider this problem from the standpoint of the value-activity approach, as it allows to identify the conditions for the formation of information and communicative competence of the individual, the set of opportunities for student learning, for the manifestation and development of his abilities.Thus, communicative competence appears as a structural phenomenon that contains as components values, motives, attitudes, socio-psychological stereotypes, knowledge, skills, abilities, and the result and purpose of the educational environment is the formation of information and communicative competence, which carries “Supersubject”, general educational, general intellectual character.
