Difficult Situations

The paper considers an important pedagogical problem in the sphere of foreign language teaching, i.e. increasing the level of students communicative competence. Case study is a tool for solving this task. The research aim is to develop a set of communicative cases in English for solving difficult professional situations, the implementation of which will contribute to the development of students communicative competence. The following methods are used in the research: analysis of modern scientific and methodological literature on the problem of research; testing; monitoring the effectiveness of students work when using the developed set of communicative cases; statistical data processing. There were elaborated and tested four cases. The unifying topic of them is Difficult professional situations. The choice of the topic can be explained by a stimulating effect of difficult situations in a persons life. The content of each case embraces both productive and receptive skills. The approbation took place at Chelyabinsk State University within the framework of the discipline Foreign language (Applied Mathematics and Informatics group of specialties, the profile of Information and Management Technologies). The testees are the first-year students. One of the cases is presented here as a sample. A particular attention is paid to the study of the influence of difficult situations on human behavior. The paper contains a description of the stages of work on a case, criteria for the materials of cases, an analysis of the skills and abilities being formed, as well as recommendations for working with them. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the results of the research can make foreign language teaching more effective.

Basic Features

The article analyzes how professors and students of MGIMO-University’s School of International Relations perceive innovations in language teaching.As a synergy system, language teaching relies on selfdevelopment based to a great extent on innovations, which can be initiated either from the inside or from the outside. To identify the basic features of innovations in foreign language teaching, the authors conducted a survey of professors and students of the School of international Relations. The results suggest that for most respondents the main purpose of innovations in foreign language teaching and learning is to attain a significantly higher level of communicative competence, which is seen as feasible only if fundamentally new teaching materials and computer technologies are used. According to the survey, the success of innovations largely depends on their source (innovations ‘from the top’ and innovations ‘from the bottom’) and commitment on the part of professors and students to participate in them, the latter being often prompted by their discontent with the state of play. Innovations ‘from above’ tend to be more encompassing and affect the entire system of language education, whereas innovations ‘from the bottom concern the teaching process per se. Though the survey suggests that it is innovations ‘from the top’ that tend to be more successful, the authors conclude that language education as a synergy system adopts only non-shattering innovations that address its most vital needs, thus encouraging its sustainable development.

<p>This action research study presents the perspectives of two language faculty who integrated the principles of the Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) model in their teaching. The professors shared their understanding of intercultural communicative competence through a learning log. These reflections were mainly about the challenged notion of native speakership, particularly in foreign language teaching contexts. The faculty also developed a teaching sequence that integrated the ICC criteria. The study offers some of the faculty considerations on their integration of the ICC model together with their students’ perspectives. The research results show that students could get involved in language learning beyond the customary linguistic aspects of language teaching, and they could embark themselves upon the understanding of the intercultural aspects that permeate any classroom negotiation where two languages happen to meet and interact through the lived experiences and the identity of their speakers.</p>

The work is devoted to determining the purpose of professional foreign language teaching to students of an agrarian university in the conditions of content and language integrated learning. Based on the study of the history of the issue of determining the purpose of foreign language teaching at different stages, it was concluded that the main result of teaching should be the development of students’ professional intercultural foreign language communicative competence. This type of competence in work is understood as the ability and willingness of agrarian university students to use a foreign language as a mean of professional communication with representatives of different countries and cultures, taking into account the specifics of intercultural interaction, as well as a mean of cognition and professional development. Structurally, intercultural professional foreign language communicative competence includes three blocks: professional, intercultural, and foreign language communicative. Foreign language communicative competence represents the ability and willingness of students to use a foreign language as a mean of communication, cognition and development. It will reflect the professional orientation of teaching and include linguistic, speech, sociocultural, strategic and educational-cognitive components. Intercultural competence represents the ability and willingness to interact with representatives of different countries and cultures, aimed at establishing professional intercultural contacts, resolving conflict situations in the field of intercultural communication, and achieving the goals of intercultural interaction. All these three blocks of professional intercultural foreign language communicative competence exist separately only for descriptive purposes and are in close interconnection with each other. We also consider professional foreign language communicative competence as a level category consisting of value-motivational, cognitive, communicative and reflective components. Each of the components is described in detail.

Teaching Routine

The article focuses on research into project work as a learner’s activity contributing to the development and refinement of his / her communicative competence. The author states that, besides improving a learner’s linguistic competence and promoting his/her involvement with the learning process, project work favourably affects both communication standards and, more broadly, social behavior through providing ample room for cooperation, empathy, creativity, and individual contribution. Thus, embracing project work and making it part of the foreign language teaching routine will ensure that learners acquire communicative competence at a level that meets current requirements.

Negative Questions

It is generally accepted that the aim of second or foreign language teaching is communicative competence; after a sequence of courses, students should be able to use the language (approximately and in certain fields of communication) as native speakers do. But how, for that matter,donative speakers use their language? An exhaustive answer to this question would certainly demand more than one paper. Attention will therefore be drawn to only two points that are important for the problem under discussion: correctness and communicative value.
