Peculiarities of teaching professionally оriented oral communication of nonlinguistic university senior students
The article deals with the problem of teaching students (for whom foreign language is not a specialty) an oral foreign language professional communication. A number of scholars’ woks, including methodologists and linguists devoted to this topic were analyzed. Numerous studies are dedicated to the problem of teaching oral speech in a nonlinguistic university but most of them are often concern only with the initial stage of education. Less attention is given to the problem of teaching senior students professionally oriented oral communication. Professionally oriented teaching refers to training based on the needs of students in teaching a foreign language dictated by the characteristics of the future profession or specialty. It involves the combination of mastering a professionally oriented foreign language with the development of the personal qualities of students as well as with the acquisition of special skills based on professional and linguistic knowledge. It is necessary to highlight the communicative intentions of business communication among other communicative intentions. A typical example of the natural conditions of communication in the specialty is the defense of master's projects. Oral speech during the defense of master's projects is a conversation, a special type of dialogue between the master and the examiner, which is based on the examiner's questions and the master's answers. This type of communication is typical for other situations of communication between specialists. As a result of the study, we came to the conclusion that the basis of the linguistic material in the specialty can be some complexes of information on certain topics composed of texts of different types of technical literature and presented not only in the form of printed sources but also audiovisual materials. The topics of oral speech, the choice of speech means to a large extent will be determined by the range of so-called selected problem questions-tasks. Training specialists in a non-linguistic university is carried out within a limited time as well as on a rather limited material therefore mastering spontaneous speech is quite problematic.
