The Individual

Background: New conditions of multilingualism and multiculturalism of the European society form new demands on the content and implementation of the educational process, in particular in the training of philology teachers, linguists, translators. The European Union has set an ambitious goal of forming a young generation of communicative competence in two foreign languages. To achieve this goal we should cultivate a tolerant attitude to social and cultural specificity of different ethnic com­munities for their harmonious coexistence in the context of globalization, and to teach young people to appreciate the cultural heritage of Europe and the world. Successful implementation of this ambitious goal, among others, is not possible without the high motivation of those who receive education in philology and linguistics, because the quality of any human activity, accord­ing to psychologists and teachers primarily depends on the needs and motivations of persons. Purpose: The purpose of the article includes the following issues: to highlight the role and place of self-sufficient linguistic puzzles as an effective tool to enhance the inner motivation of secondary language identity of the individual, to ensure the successful implementation of objectives to address challenges in education and training in the fields of language acquisition, general and applied linguistics, human and computer-aided translation; to present puzzles with different content and structure, which can be used in the educational process, with possible variants of their solution and a short description of their didactic potential. Results: Formation of the secondary language identity outside the native-speakers environment requires additional gen­eral educational motives, since in this case the speaker can successfully communicate in his native language, resorting to the foreign language only formally. Self-sufficient linguistic tasks contributing to the formation of secondary language identity, aside from being a fun intellectual challenge, expose the student to the different kinds of reasoning required when encountering a new phenomenon in a language. They develop metalinguistic reasoning and foster analytical skills that are relevant for various careers. Discussion: Self-sufficient linguistic tasks, contributing to the formation of secondary language identity, may interest teachers of the Ukrainian language, foreign languages, Ukrainian as a foreign language and may be introduced in order to di­versify the educational process, to increase motivation, to develop logical thinking and analytical abilities in teaching linguistic disciplines, at different stages of language learning, and also may be more widely used in the training of specialists in the field of computer science and applied linguistics.

The article is devoted to the problem of socialization of an individual in the process of studying a foreign language, which is a part of multicultural education and is considered as an important tool for a person’s adaptation in a multicultural society. The leading idea of the article is the assertion that foreign language as a discipline has a huge socializing potential, as in the process of studying a foreign language, not only in terms of the active development of inherent capabilities, abilities, initiative, independence, take place, but also, in terms of assimilating and activating the generally accepted in a society socio-cultural rules and moral norms, which play a crucial role in the process of socialization. Since the main goal of the educational process in foreign languages is the formation of high communicative skills, its contribution to the process of socialization of a person is indisputable. In this sense, the following characteristics of the learning process in a foreign language are important: the focus on communication, respect for the identity and culture of other people, the focus on social activities, the acquisition of social experience in solving life and social problems, and the creation of its own system of life priorities. The communicative method of teaching foreign languages is based on the fact that the learning process is a model of communication. The learning process in foreign languages is based on the linguistic partnership, creative collaboration, constant motivation of communication, based on a combination of such interconnected factors as activity, creativity, autonomy, individualization, which contribute to the intensification of cognitive and educational processes. That is, organization of training in the form of communication is the main methodological task of a modern teacher of foreign languages. It is this specificity of the discipline "foreign language" that is capable of effective implementing educational socialization, helping to complete the formation of the students' ability to communicate, co-exist and cooperate in the professional activities of people of different ethnic groups, the formation of a rich experience of social and cultural communication, which is a solid base for the involvement of learners to the global values of civilization.Key words: socialization; foreign language; multicultural education; polycultural person; professional socialization

Methodological Principles

Background: Globalization processes directly affect the system of foreign language training in particular in non-linguistic higher education institutions and determine the need for its modernization. Such modernization requires both the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the strategic goal of foreign language training in Ukraine. We formulate this goal as formation of a polycultural professional linguistic personality, primarily, a secondary professional linguistic personality. Formation of the secondary linguistic personality is accompanied by acculturation i.e a person’s involvement in the secondary culture, its norms and traditions. Since acculturation is generally impossible without polylingualism, so raising the question of polylingualism in Ukrainian universities has become well-timed and expedient in the conditions of globalization and integration and determines the relevance of the article. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the feasibility of polylingual education in non-linguis­tic higher education institutions and outline the ways of its implementation. Results. The introduction of polylingualism provides freedom of choice since it enables such an organization of the learning process where the use of more than one foreign language for instruction will becomes possible. It will primarily promote the diversification of professionally oriented foreign language training of students that will result in provision of personalized learning, particularly in the field of foreign language training, as well as freedom to choose languages for mastering, and, therefore, a student’s autonomy, which is relevant to the whole system of our higher education. The introduction of polylingualism also prompts the introduction of a pan-European stan­dardized level of foreign language proficiency, providing future language specialists with a foreign-language com­municative competence recognized in a broad European format. The introduction of polylingual education implies the need for effective innovative methods, compulsory teaching of foreign languages by their native speakers, structural improvement of foreign language training, etc. Though polylingualism has become the matter of re­search in some contemporary studies, however the theoretical foundations and technologies of its teaching have not yet been developed in the domestic and foreign pedagogical literature. Discussion. The introduction of polylingualism into the educational process of non-linguistic higher educa­tional institutions is considered as means that will give the students freedom to choose the language of instruction; will facilitate the diversification of professionally oriented foreign language training; will form polylinguistic com­petence, updating the level approach to language learning and requiring further development of theoretical and methodological principles and relevant innovative techniques.

Abstract Introduction. The article is devoted to the problems of the foreign language learning at a technical university. The theoretical importance of the research is in the analysis of the existing language learning system at a technical university in light of a modern engineer’s professional activity model’s change. Grounding of certain corrections in the language learning system also provides the theoretical importance of the research. The practical importance of our research is in the modification of the existing language learning system based on the environmental and activity approaches. Materials and Methods. While carrying out the research we used a complex of methods; that is: literature analysis, empiric and praxymetric methods, and a modeling method. Results. 4 main types of an engineer’s professional activity are defined in the engineer’s activity model. These types correspond to the main activity types by M.S. Kagan’s concept – value-motivating, cognitive, reorganizing and communicative activities. An engineer’s activity results analysis led to discovering new features in the engineer’s personality structure lying in the communicative competence role increase. It was also found out that successfulness becomes a link between value-motivating and communicative activities. Consequently, we have made a conclusion on the increasing demands to the students’, masters’, post-graduates’ and academic researches’ language proficiency. Foreign language proficiency should provide for the ability to participate in the international conferences, to attend foreign professors’ lectures, and to take part in the students’ exchange programs. All of the above presupposes rather high foreign language proficiency and requires a foreign language learning system creation. The authors analyzed language learning courses at a technical university and carried out a post-graduates’ survey. As a result, lack of syllabuses being able to fill in the gaps in language proficiency and to support speech skills was found out. Basing on the conclusions mentioned above an extra multi-purpose and multi-level structure syllabus was worked out. This syllabus allowed to solve the existing programs, to increase foreign language learning and general learning motivation, to create conditions for self-development and self-realization in the professional activity. The article also describes in detail a foreign language learning system developed by the Department of Foreign Languages and Russian as a Second Language in the general learning environment of a technical university, which acquires for the modernization and reaching the education level corresponding to the leading universities’ level. Conclusion. The learning environment created by the Department of Foreign Languages and Russian as a Second Language of Samara National Research University named after academician S.P. Korolyov and including a compulsory language learning system and a system of extra language learning courses provides for the students’ individual needs in foreign language proficiency satisfaction at various levels. It also provides for their intellectual and moral self-development.
