Abstract This paper examines how the shift to knowledge and innovation economy has created new sites for the commodification of language and communication in the context of organizational consulting. The data come from a consultant-led development and training program of the management teams of a Finnish educational organization. In the study, the year-long training was videotaped (45 h) and followed ethnographically. By using rhetorical discourse analysis as a method, we examine how the consultant-led training activities present the role of language and communication in changing working life. The results show how the activities factualize the transformation of work and the centrality of language in this transformation. They conceptualize language and communication as key elements of professional competence and resources for organizational improvement. Moreover, they construct causal relations between organizational success and the ability to assess and modify one’s own communicative behavior. With its focus on language awareness and contextual variation the training differs from settings examined in previous studies where the mechanisms of commodification are based on standardization practices. In conclusion, we reflect the training programs both as indicators and vehicles for social change and discuss how they act as spaces where the new worlds of work are discursively construed.

In modern researches which could be attributed to psychology of Internet or, put another way, to cyberpsychology, works on game and communicative behavior are massively presented. The article argues that no less attention of psychologists should be paid to features of cognitive activity in Internet. It is noted that indirect Internet search through keywords and Boolean operators, as well as reading of found online materials (articles, textbooks and encyclopedias, thematic discussions and posts, news in electronic MEDIA, etc.) alongside with distant learning, inquiry, etc. qualitatively differ from traditional methods of performing cognitive activity, in particular by virtue of a special organizational structure of cyberspace-combining various elements through hyperlinks. The saturation of traditional information materials of such links leads to the formation of hypertext structures. Hypertext operation (and hypermedia) is the most characteristic feature of the implementation of the cognitive activity in the modern epoch. The article discusses the psychological specificity of hypertext structures in the process of reading and understanding in works of artistic culture in everyday life and in training activities. It is noted that hypertext document used for training should avoid unmotivated links and introduce elements of standardization.

The paper researches the use of audiovisual material for formation of aviation subject matter competence of aviation translation students. The research involved a pedagogical experiment aimed at the verification of the hypothesis that systemic use of content-oriented audiovisual material accompanied by a specifically developed complex of training activities enhances students’ knowledge of the professionally relevant subject matter and skills in adequate use of aviation terminology and technical language, which visibly improves students’ professional competence as future translators in the aviation industry. The conducted experiment yielded positive results and confirmed the research hypothesis. As a result of the experimental teaching, the students showed better skills in using aviation terminology, abbreviations and concepts, higher lexicographic awareness, improved their ability to adequately use electronic and printed reference materials when translating aviation texts and to perform translation/interpreting in conformity with grammar, semantic and stylistic norms of radiotelephony communication and aviation standards. The experiment gave convincing evidence that audiovisual material combined with specially designed activities facilitates the formation of the aviation subject matter competence of aviation translation students, which is the basis for their successful professional performance. The audiovisual material and the training activities proved to be effective teaching tools in the framework of a content-oriented structure of aviation translation students’ aviation subject matter competence which was developed by the authors. Though the experimental teaching was done in the course on English-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-English aviation translation, the research results may surely be of relevance for other language pairs as well.
