The article highlights the results of the bilingual approach implementation to the process of preparing students for their professional competencies in the context of higher education system reformation. The topicality of the study is caused by the fact that the entry of Ukrainian society into the European space imposes appropriate requirements for the new generation specialists’ training. The purpose of the study was to substantiate theoretically and verify experimentally the implementation of a bilingual approach to learning a foreign language in the process of teaching some professional disciplines in order to improve the professional training of students of non-linguistic specialties. To achieve this goal, we used the following methods: to collect empirical survey data (student questionnaires and interviews with teachers), a statement experiment to find out the real state of the problem under investigation, a search experiment to implement the bilingual approach in the study of foreign language and its control.The experiment was participated by students of the 1st and 2nd years of study of non-linguistic specialties students at higher educational institutions during four terms, the study was carried out in three stages. At the first stage the level of preparation of the first-year students of non-linguistic specialties was studied. The results demonstrated that more than half of the respondents had difficulties in mastering the material. At the second stage of the study, a search experiment was conducted using a bilingual approach. In the course of the effectiveness approach checking, it was recorded that students demonstrated a sufficient level of foreign language proficiency due to the systematic use of the bilingual approach while studying basic disciplines.

The article deals with the peculiarities of the educational process in a technical University in order to increase the motivation of students through learning a foreign language. The concepts of «motive» and «motivation» in a broad sense of the word are revealed, and in particular, the concept of «motives of scientific activity» is given through the prism of the classification of personal motives. The paper analyzes the provisions on this issue, described in the works of such researchers as D. B. Bogoyavlenskaya, J. Dewey, A. Maslow, D. Halpern, M. G. Yaroshevsky, etc. Most researchers emphasize that the research activity is a creative interaction of the main subjects of the educational process, the result of which is the development of students’ subjectively new knowledge by solving research problems. The aim of this article is to consider the ways of increasing motivation to study disciplines in the profile of training by attracting students to research activity by means of a foreign language. The article proposes a program of involvement of students in research activity taking into account modern requirements for professional training of University graduates. The article is based on research results, questionnaires, observations and a survey conducted among first-year and second year students and the first-year students in the master’s program of the Polytechnic University, those who continue studying English.

Key Competences

The shift of higher education system to the new federal state standards for education (FGOS3++) is connected with the changes in the curriculum and  terminological shift from so called general cultural competences to key competences. Key competences are the basis for professional competences and lay the foundation for further  personal and professional development of a specialist. Recent research in  teaching foreign languages in higher education institutions have been aimed at the development of professional competences. However the  empirical data show that first-year students of non-linguistic departments do  not have school level command of the foreign language. The article considers the potential of the foreign language to form not only communicative  competence in the foreign language but to form key competences,  mentioned in the new federal standard, regardless of the initial level of language competence.

Using the example of a higher military educational institution, we conducted an analysis of the prevalence of diseases according to ICD-10 by years of study (n = 3381). Features among local students and visitors were: in long-term trends, an increase in ear diseases (more significant among visitors) and an equal rate of decrease in skin diseases and subcutaneous tissue, injuries; in the first year, significant differences in three, 2–4 courses — in two classes of diseases, in the pathogenesis of which the state of resistance of the organism is significant (some infectious and parasitic diseases, diseases of the respiratory system, skin and subcutaneous tissue); excess incidence of local first-year students and newcomers over rates in other courses, respectively, for classes 5 and 8 of diseases; differences in the incidence rate for adjacent years of study, which is important for determining the period of adaptation to the conditions of training and adaptation against the background of acclimatization. In local students, the prevalence of diseases in the first two courses was significantly higher than by 4–5 (data from the third to fifth courses did not differ), but for disease classes XI, XIII, XIX, prevalence persisted from 1–2 years, X, XII — up to 2–3 years For visiting students, the prevalence of diseases from the first to the fourth year exceeded that in the next year. For classes I, VII, VIII, XIII and XIX, the excess persisted for 1–2 years, XI — at least 3 years, X — 4 years. Research in an initially healthy team allows us to judge the process of students' adaptation to the learning environment, as well as adaptation against the background of acclimatization. Research is promising in other regions of the country; among students studying at universities of other departments. This will provide the basis for planning preventive measures in youth groups to preserve their health and improve professional training.

Lack Of Knowledge

The article deals with the issue of the language adaptation of foreign students who have left the preparatory faculty and begun their studies in Russian in the first year of the main faculty of the Russian University.

The article identifies and discusses the main difficulties faced by foreigners while studying in Russia and the reasons of their appearance, analyzes the conditions of training of foreign students at the preparatory faculty and the real results of this training, the main of which is the discrepancy between what foreign students know and are capable of and what they need to know and be able to, becoming the first-year students of a Russian University. Most first-year foreign students find it difficult to study at the same level with Russian students, so they need the support and understanding of not only teachers of Russian as a foreign language, but also teachers of other subjects. It is noted that teachers who don’t specialize in teaching Russian as a foreign language can’t and don’t want to adequately assess the level of knowledge of a foreign student and help them if needed.

The article deals with the issue of the effectiveness of using dictogloss as a way of enhancing communicative speech activity, critical thinking and creative potential of students of non-language higher educational institutions in ESP classes. The key stages of the traditional dictogloss are considered: 1) preparation; 2) dictation; 3) reproduction; 4) analysis and reflection, comparing texts created by subgroups with the original or with texts of other subgroups. The main principles (such as the principle of cooperation training and the use of interactive technologies, the principle of the curriculum and the educational process connection, the principle of diversification, the principle of the development of mental, mnemic and perceptual processes, the principle of emotionality, the principle of systematicity and consistency) aimed at ensuring the outcomes and effectiveness of innovation dictations and the ways of their implementation are outlined. The main modified versions of the dictogloss are analyzed and recommendations for their preparation in ESP classes are provided: dictogloss-negotiations, «student-control» dictogloss, student-student mode, «Summary» dictogloss, «Express your own opinion», «Reodering dictogloss», «Add details», «Picture» dictogloss. Dictogloss is determined to be an effective activity for teaching ESP, since it can be applied to different levels of foreign language proficiency and adapted for any specialism. The advantages of the dictogloss are emphasized: it can be used to represent a new topic, to revise and practice vocabulary or grammar material; it does not require more time for preparation than other types of activity; the teacher can change the forms of dictations, adding a competitive element or element of the gamification; it can become a source of motivation for learning a foreign language and a way of diversifying pedagogical techniques and technologies.
