The structure of the article is determined by the logic of designing the goals of foreign language teaching in a technical university. The highest level of generality of goals reflects the social demand of society as a whole and is presented in the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education. At the second level of goal formulation (Model Discipline Programs), they are specified according to the needs of the spheres of economics. In the development of Work Programs of Discipline within the framework of teaching in a specific university, final clarification of goals is required depending on the requirements of regional employers (the third level of specification of goals). In order to clarify the objectives of teaching foreign language to students of technical universities taking into account the requirements of the regional labour market, a questionnaire was conducted in 2019 for graduates of the National Research University „Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology,” working in a specialty in enterprises in the field of exact technologies in Zelenohrad (Moscow). The questionnaire showed that in addition to the four types of speech activities specified in the Model Programs on Foreign Language for Non-Language Universities, engineers use interpretation and translation in their professional activities. The rating of types of foreign language speech activity in descending order of their importance for professional activity of the engineer is as follows: reading – auditing – translation – writing – speaking. The most demanded professional foreign-language tasks in all types of speech activities (except translation) are solved by modern engineers in communicative situations using information technologies.

Building research skills for students of technical universities attracts the attention as an important component of the professional competence. One of the possible solutions is to use elements of research work in the process of foreign language teaching, since this academic discipline provides a variety of opportunities for acquiring these skills. Studying a foreign language contributes to the development of research skills, analytical skills and critical thinking. Teaching students how to work with a text, to extract information, to use compression skills (summarizing) and expanding information (commenting), using citation, compiling a bibliographic list will help them gain skills for writing articles. The ability to make a presentation, ask questions and prove their point of view will prepare students for a presentation at a scientific conference and participation in a scientific discussion. Use of computer technology at all stages of training (information retrieval, creation of a written text, preparation of a presentation) also contributes to the skills necessary for a contemporary specialist. Attracting students’ attention to research work in a foreign language contributes to the increase of motivation for scientific work, and to the further studies of a foreign language, which becomes a means of obtaining professional information and generalizing existing knowledge in scientific work. Reliance on previously obtained knowledge brings research skills development in the framework of “foreign language” programme to the fore for non-linguistic stu-dents. These conclusions can be useful for teachers and students of a technical university and can improve research work organization of future specialists.

The digitalization of higher education, the emerging trends for further improvement and implementation of e-learning and distance learning technologies have revealed the need to rethink the practices of implementing vocationally-oriented language training at a university and have led to the transition to a blended learning model. The purpose of the research: to reveal the potential of blended learning in foreign language teaching. The research methods: the method of selection, generalization and dissemination of advanced pedagogical experience. The research results: the potential of blended learning in foreign language teaching has been substantiated; the studies related to the problem of blended learning in foreign language teaching has been analyzed. Integration of digital educational resources and e-learning technologies (VLE and MIND) in the implementation of a mixed format of professionally oriented language training at a technical university expands the possibilities for creating a digital educational space as an integral component of educational activities in modern conditions. Key conclusions: Blended learning allows you to solve the problem of improving the quality of vocationally-oriented language training and the organization of academic interaction in a rotational mode; a meta-subject approach in teaching a foreign language for professional purposes creates opportunities for using existing and developing your own digital educational resources (CER); integration of ICT, allows you to achieve a qualitatively new level of delivery of educational content.

General cultural competency is considered as an essential factor for the development of the student's personality and an important instrument of improving the quality of education. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to control the formation of general cultural competency, as one of the results of the educational process, and the lack of methods for assessing it at technical university. The article is aimed at solving a set of problems related to the control and assessment of the general cultural competency of students, with regard to the possibilities realized in the process of foreign language teaching at technical university. The study is carried out in line with the textocentric approach to the general cultural competency formation developed by the author. The ability of general cultural competency to be diagnosed is ensured by the proven correlation between a number of general cultural competency components formed in the foreign language classroom and textual skills of students. This correlation makes it possible to diagnose the general cultural competency of students on the basis of evaluating the results of their textual activity which dominates in the course of the foreign language teaching. Textocentric approach makes it possible to develop two methods of assessing general cultural competency described in the paper and testifying to its practical significance: express assessment which is relevant for classroom monitoring, and detailed diagnostics which meets the tasks of final examination of students. Text is characterized not only as the means of forming general cultural competency but also as the main means of assessing it. The prospects of using textocentric approach in the development of the assessment tools fund are linked to the ability of the approach to maintain the continuity of diagnosing general cultural competency at different stages of its formation under conditions of various types of control.
