Abstract This article aims to help teacher-researchers engage in empirical research on classroom-based assessment for formative purposes. We will first introduce the key features of classroom-based formative assessment (CBFA), and analyze the research questions asked in round-one projects funded by the Fund for Assessment Research (FAR) in Foreign Language Education in China. Next, we will illustrate how some research questions can be answered by analyzing a video-taped lesson from a round-one FAR project. We conclude by calling for more teacher-led research and argue that research on CBFA by teachers will not only produce valid interpretations and applicable findings, but also constitute a viable model for teacher professional development.

A future teacher who speaks foreign language is in more demand by school today than ever before. Pedagogical universities change their activities to meet the school educational system’s requirements. The need of English for future teachers is determined by the necessity of subject activity. In the process of teaching the teacher not only stimulates the mastering of the basics of science, but also creates the opportunity to develop learning skills, critically realize their experience of foreign language usage. First and second year students, while learning foreign language, improve their speaking skills, learn to use the best way to build their learning activity. The goal of the next step of professional training is to master teaching methods, which will let the students use their foreign language knowledge. Teaching English on the basis of meta-subject approach principles will allow to solve these problems. The article is devoted to the analysis of solving the problems of foreign language education of future teachers. The author suggests using the meta-subject potential of a foreign language as a general strategy of foreign language education. The experimental pedagogical work carried out at the Pavlodar Pedagogical University allows us to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of the proposed ideas.

Abstract The present time places considerable demands on the process of foreign language education both in the field of communication and information transfer. Teachers, occupying a pivotal role in this process, are not able to proceed with simple, lay approaches and methods. It has become more and more important to apply sophisticated approaches and methods in teaching which are based on primary and secondary researches. This paper discusses the Dynamic Model of Speech Production as a specific approach to EFL teaching. Furthermore, the application of activating methods in the process of teaching English as a foreign language is examined from the standpoint of gender, country, length of teaching practice, and type of university. The data was collected using a questionnaire about the use and the frequency of occurrence of activating methods, which was completed by 82 university teachers from the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic.

This paper discusses intercultural communicative competence (ICC) education in the context of Sino-Foreign Institutes (SFIs). Through an overview of the development of internationalization of higher education in China, the paper puts forward four strategies that are widely adopted to facilitate the development of students ICC. The four strategies are provision of ICC specific courses, integration of ICC in subject courses, integration of ICC with foreign language education, and intercultural activities and projects. Towards the end, the paper argues that more empirical research is needed to evaluate the effects of the strategies on students’ ICC and challenges the SFIs face in the post-pandemic era.

Monitoring Activity

This article is devoted to the elucidation of the essence and results of a pedagogical experiment focused on the formation of future foreign language teachers’ awareness for monitoring activity. The pedagogical conditions which are believed to enhance the effectiveness of the process in question, - have been revealed therein. Among the said conditions, the following ones have been determined as leading: the intensification of the role of the pedagogical monitoring and organization of relevant pedagogical educational researchbased activities within the framework of pedagogical disciplines studied; the support of professional development of a teacher as the participant, organizer and facilitator of quality foreign language education and multi-cultural upbringing. Based on of the above-mentioned pedagogical conditions a conceptual model named “Formation of Future Foreign Language Teachers’ Awareness for Monitoring Activity in the Process of Their Professional Training” has been elaborated. The said model functions as a unity of the following components: motivational, didactic-strategic, organizational, content-technological, evaluative. The results of this model’s approbation in the process of the pedagogical experiment carried out have proved its high effectiveness. Furthermore, we have been able of revealing the essence of future foreign language teachers' awareness for monitoring activity being an important professional new development of their personality as consciously acting organizers, dispatchers and facilitators of quality foreign language teaching, deemed important for the future teachers' capability to plan, implement, correct and assess the results achieved during relevant educational tests carried out.
