The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of visually impaired students, their peers without disabilities, and teachers about inclusive education, focusing on a second cycle educational institution in the Eastern region of Ghana implementing inclusive education for the visually impaired. In this study, we collected data from 23 visually impaired students, 27 students without disabilities, and 19 teachers in the inclusive school. Data were collected through semistructured in-depth interviews. This study followed a phenomenological approach, reporting findings from participants’ own words. The study findings revealed that visually impaired students and some teachers supported inclusion while a number of students without disabilities disliked the practice. Some teachers indicated that the idea of inclusive education is a good way to ensure equal educational opportunities. The study concludes that Ghanaian teachers in inclusive schools should be equipped with training to teach students with disabilities.

The Military

The high requirements for training a military specialist include improving the quality of language education for students of military universities, which can be accomplished by reforming ineffective teaching methods in a foreign language. Moreover, when updating and improving existing methods and developing technologies of teaching foreign languages, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the educational institution, the closeness and isolation of the military organization. Given these features, modern methods of teaching foreign languages in military universities should be aimed at the formation of professional competence, and the development of a versatile personality, able to express their opinions competently. Formation of foreign language discursive competence in military specialists will not only effectively and profoundly acquire practical knowledge, but will also help to develop professional motivation for learning a foreign language. In order to study the ways of formation of discursive competence in students of higher military educational institutions it is advisable to: identify the essence of discursive competence, giving it the most capacious definition; determine the structure of the phenomenon under study and identify its main components; to determine the specifics of discursive competence in higher military education. Based on most definitions, foreign-language discursive competence should be developed as a pragmatic ability, selecting as a basis the skills and competencies that will be most relevant within a particular military specialty. Modern training technologies and developments, based on the basic principles of teaching a foreign language for professional purposes, can significantly improve the efficiency of the process of learning a foreign language

Educational Inclusion

Prompted by the increased visibility of inclusive pedagogies, the present article discusses the concept of “inclusion” in relation to foreign language teaching from a linguistic perspective. The foreign language classroom constitutes a special environment that poses specific language-related challenges to inclusive education. In an effort to face these challenges, the present article elaborates how linguistic research and insights can contribute to an implementation of inclusive foreign language education. In terms of theorisation, the narrower and broader senses of educational inclusion are outlined, the notion of “linguistic barrier” is introduced, and various ways in which linguistic exclusion may manifest itself are identified. It is argued that purely cognitivist approaches to second language acquisition are insufficient for achieving higher levels of inclusivity, as they do not cater for the social and contextual aspects that shape practices of exclusion and inclusion. Alternative approaches such as sociocultural theory are shown to be better equipped for this purpose. Various prominent exclusion-related dimensions are discussed with respect to their repercussions in language and linguistic practices, among them exclusion related to learners with special needs, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and non-native language users. Suggestions are made of how to proceed methodologically in linguistic investigations of exclusionary practices, with the aim of creating effective, linguistically based inclusion strategies. It is suggested that typological, discourse analytic and ethnographic linguistic approaches are most promising in this respect. The concluding section recapitulates central aspects that have surfaced in the theoretical and methodological discussion, calls for inclusion-oriented changes in foreign language teaching and highlights conspicuous parallels between the inclusive EFL classroom and English as a lingua franca communication.

The expansion of the spheres of political, trade, economic and cultural cooperation between Russia and other countries creates real preconditions for intercultural professional communication in all areas of language experts’ activity: teaching, researching, translating, interpreting and speaking for the peers. In these conditions, learning to provide a monologue in different world languages is becoming increasingly important to future linguists. According to the requirements of the new Federal Standard for Higher Professional Education, a linguist must be able to perform intercultural communication in various professional fields, conduct business negotiations, be an active participant in conferences, workshops and roundtable discussions using several working languages and search for topical information to improve his/her professional skills in the field of intercultural communication. Thus, the standard reflects the strategy of modern foreign-language education aimed to form the cultural and linguistic personality of the language expert who has reached a high level of the foreign-language professional communicative competence, which manifests itself in speech culture, an open-minded attitude to unfamiliar traditions and ways of life, along with the abilities for monologue and international professional communication. High-quality monologic speech is a personally and professionally significant skill, due to which specialists do not have difficulties with business conversations, reports, public messages and presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint and freely participate in discussing the course and prospects of joint activities. Mastering such skills begins at the very beginning of learning a foreign language in a higher educational institution to be able to work with complicated scientific texts and prepare creative monologues as a postgraduate student.

The article deals with the issues related to the implementation of distance learning of a foreign language in an educational institution (secondary school and university) to meet the Federal State Educational Standards requirements. The paper analyzes the factors accompanying the implementation of distance learning in a secondary school or a higher educational institution. The authors justify the situation that in the context of the renewal of language education, the effectiveness of new information and communication technologies is not inferior to the effectiveness of traditional education. The article reflects the results of the study conducted to identify difficulties in online learning (questionnaire of schoolteachers, university teachers and a survey of students). The authors suggest an exemplary algorithm for planning online classes, which will avoid a number of methodological difficulties when conducting foreign language classes. A detailed list of instructions necessary for successful communication during such classes and used by a teacher both in case of conceptual difficulties and for solving technical problems is given.
