Today, much attention is being paid to the independent work of students, which is an integral part of learning when working with listening materials.  It should be emphasized that listening also plays an important role in the formation of intercultural competence in the professional training of students of linguistic specialties. At the present stage of development of network technologies, training with the help of network resources comes to the fore. Thus, in classes on the practice of speech and the culture of speech communication of language universities at all stages, it is necessary to devote as much time as possible to listening, aimed at a complete understanding of the information. The Internet offers endless possibilities for working with foreign language sources, including the use of authentic audio materials. Many of them can be used during classroom lessons, as well as when posting on the sites of academic disciplines for independent work of students.

The primary goal of the present study is to identify the problematic areas in the pronunciation of the letter “g” in English written words made by Saudi female learners of English as a foreign language, and the reasons for the weakness associated with mispronunciation of English written words which contain this letter. The population of the study was the female students (90 students) and their English language teachers (12 teachers) at the Qassim University during the academic year (2014-2015). There were two types of instruments used in this study. The first was a pronunciation test for the student participants in order to investigate the problematic areas of pronouncing “g” in different environments in different words; and the second a questionnaire for the teacher participants to provide comprehensive data about the causes of these errors of pronouncing “g” committed by EFL female students at Qassim University. Ninety female students were included for the pronunciation test and 12 teachers were asked to answer the questionnaire. Simple percentage was used for analyzing the data of recording words (pronunciation test). Results of the students’ recording words revealed that the participants mispronounced “g” before nasals (68%). According to the results of the teachers’ responses to the questionnaire suggested many factors that can cause difficulties for students in terms of pronouncing “g” in English written words. According to them, these difficulties are concerned with reading difficulties, nonstandard spellings, letters that follow “g” (many of them may become combinations), loan words, orthography (no correspondence between the English alphabets and their sounds). The researcher offers recommendations that might help teachers and students to overcome and reduce these mispronunciations of this letter in English written words.

Cultural Phenomenon

The culturological direction of professional training of future foreign languages teachers as one of pedagogical conditions of formation of linguoculturological competence is considered and substantiated. The culturological direction of professional training of future teachers is focused on the priority of the role of culture in human life, especially in education. The education system is considered as a social institution for the development of individuality as a subject of culture. Given that culture is an individually mastered spiritual values, the purpose of education is to create a person as an individuality: the development of his spiritual strength, abilities, needs, education of morally responsible and socially adapted person. Thus the content of education is culture, and the way to introduce such content in the professional education of future foreign languages teachers in particular is a culturological approach, which involves close interaction of language and culture, namely language awareness as a cultural phenomenon and promotes intercultural consciousness. The linguistic personality is the bearer not only of spiritual, but also of national and cultural values, which form the central part of the national picture of the world, having different ways of linguistic expression. Consciousness is the acquired quality of personality and social system of knowledge, fixed in the language. Therefore language as a cultural phenomenon in such case appears as the means of forming the consciousness and mentality of the linguistic personality, as well as an indicator of the level of its formation. Multicultural consciousness is the ability of the person to perceive, understand and comprehend the phenomena of the multicultural world that based on self-awareness of the subject of culture through the unity of representations and knowledge about the peculiarity of cultures, systems of their values, necessary for interaction with representatives of other nationalities, solving professional problems in terms of intercultural interaction relying on cooperation and tolerant behavior. The essence of culturological direction in the professional training of future foreign languages teachers is close to the essence of linguoculturilogical competence, which is based on the relationship of language as a cultural phenomenon and linguistic personality as a representative of culture, and therefore a certain national consciousness. This can along with other pedagogical conditions ensure the success of the formation of linguoculturilogical competence of future foreign language teachers.

The chapter “Teaching Professional Foreign Language Discourse via IT Tools: Through the Example of WebQuest Technology” is devoted to the description of the didactic tools development based on the Internet technologies (IT) and the integration of the problem-based learning into the educational process for the formation of professional foreign language discourse in non-linguistic students. The author presents the experience of using IT, in particular the web-quest technology, in practice for the purpose of creating a professional foreign language discourse that allows students to master professional knowledge and develop relevant skills in the field of professional communication. In the chapter the web-quest technology is considered to be one of the most appropriate IT tools for the successful formation of professional foreign language discourse in students with non-linguistic major, since the format of the technology allows the teacher to manage the student work at all stages. In addition, the integration of the web-quest technology into the educational process solves one of the key tasks of modern education, i.e. the increase in the volume of students' independent work, due to which the process of metacognition develops the self-regulation of the personality. The chapter pays great attention to the historiography of problem-based learning from the very origins to modern times, its transformation and types, which depend on the didactic goals being set during the learning process. At the end of the chapter, the author presents the experience of technology integration in the pedagogical process and the results of the experiment.

Describing a year's activity in a half-hour report is an annual challenge that grows more difficult as the pace and scope of the activity increase. The Foreign Language Program is in some ways the victim of its success. One of our early goals was to become an information center and we have succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. Requests for materials, information, opinions, and assistance threaten to overwhelm us daily. Three members of the staff do nothing but answer these requests. The ones that are unanswerable are put in my in-basket. Telephone calls and visitors multiply. All this activity we are tempted to think of as interruptions to our real job, long-range planning, deep thinking, foreign languages in the next century. But in a very real sense the magnitude of the interruptions to our job is the sign that we are succeeding, that more and more foreign-language teachers and students and more and more people in general want to know the answers to questions and the solutions to problems of which they were hardly conscious a few years ago. There has been a revolution in language learning in this country and among recent visitors to our office have been language teachers and administrators from all over the world (France, England, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Africa, Australia), who have come to find out what we are doing.
