Main Component

Development of the lexical aspect of speech is an integral part of learning a foreign language, as it is lexical units that help a person to convey their thoughts in interaction with other people. The purpose of teaching the lexical aspect of speech is to form students’ lexical skills as the main component of expressive and receptive types of speech activity. We consider the features of teaching verbal synonymy. A verb that performs the function of a predicate in a sentence is an important informative centre of the sentence. For successful mastery of synonymous verbs, the main means of teaching at any stage of learning a foreign language is an exercise. The systematic nature of the exercises helps to ensure the effectiveness of the process of mastery and teaching synonymous verbs particularly and the lexical aspect of speech in general. On the basis of the research there was developed a system of exercises aimed at introducing, training and fixing synonymous verbs, and a certain part of these exercises was demonstrated.

Educational Computer Games

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the didactic potential of educational computer games in the development of lexical speech skills in high school students. We analyze the basic skills that are formed in the study of vocabulary. The basic lexical skills and their division into productive and receptive skills are considered. The analysis of the basic principles under which the process of learning foreign words takes place is carried out. The main advantages associated with learning vocabulary using computer games are considered. These include: encouraging creativity, the ability to create teamwork, easy adaptation for all ages and all language levels. The reasons for the growing popularity of games are analyzed in the context of training. These reasons include: in-terest that students have in class through games; beneficial effect on the educational process; the emergence of a need to create such a learning environment; the emergence of skills of independent work. Scientific novelty consists in the generalization of the experience of teaching vocabulary based on computer games. We also analyze the main advantages associated with teaching foreign language vocabulary to high school students using computer games and consider the reasons for the growth in popularity of games in the context of foreign languages teaching. As a result, a conclusion is made about the positive influence of computer games in foreign language teaching and improving the lexical skills of high school students.

The purposes of the present study are two-fold: (1) To examine whether social psychological variables, such as attitude and subjective norm, can predict South Korean English as a foreign language high school students’ intention to learn English, and (2) to identify the best social psychological model for sustainable second language learning in the context of South Korean English as a foreign language (EFL) learning. A total of 614 South Korean high school learners of English participated in the present study. Data collected from a survey questionnaire were analyzed using a structural equation modeling procedure. Results of the present study indicate that South Korean high school students’ attitudes toward learning English and subjective norms made a significant and independent contribution to the variance in their intention to study English. Among the three competing social psychological models examined in the current study, the theory of Planned Behavior and an expanded model of Gardner’s Socio-educational Model proved to be the most effective in terms of the strength of path coefficients and explanatory power. Theoretical and pedagogical implications are provided.

RÉSUMÉ. Dans le cadre de cette contribution, notre objectif est d’analyser les défauts de ponctuation des lycéens marocains pour répondre à la question suivante : les signes de ponctuation erronés ne contribueraient-ils pas à l’incompréhension et à l’opacité textuelle ? Le support qui servira de base au dépouillement des données est la production écrite. Il est donc crucial de repérer et de classer ces déviations localisées dans les copies des lycéens du FLE. Ces erreurs sont des indices des problèmes d'apprentissage du français chez nos sujets. Notons que cet aspect de la langue est souvent marginalisé par les enseignants bien qu’il contribue à la cohésion textuelle. Les résultats de ce travail ont révélé que la ponctuation reste non maîtrisée et bloque ainsi la compréhension du texte. C’est pourquoi, il sera fructueux de proposer quelques remédiations didactiques en faveur des futurs enseignants. Mots-clés : défauts textuels, français langue étrangère, ponctuation, production écriteABSTRACT. As part of this contribution, our objective is to analyze the punctuation defects of the Moroccan high school students to answer the following question: the punctuation marks mistakes not contribute to the misunderstanding and the textual opacity? The support that will be used as the basis for the data analysis is the written production. It is therefore crucial to identify and classify localized punctuation deviations in FFL high school students' copies. These errors are indicative of the problems of learning French in our subjects. Note that this aspect of language is often marginalized by teachers, although it contributes to textual cohesion. The results revealed that the punctuation remains uncontrolled. That is why it will be fruitful to propose some didactic remedies for future teachers. Keywords : textual flaws, French foreign language, punctuation, written production

English Competence

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the growth of intercultural communication in modern post-industrial society, resulting in the need to change opinions on the development of foreign language competence in school-age students for its effective improvement and further use in professional activities. The purpose of the study is to determine the features of the development of English language competence in reading in high school students of general secondary education and to find methods of overcoming difficulties in the process of mastering a foreign language. In the process of the study, the author used general scientific theoretical methods, including methods of analysis, synthesis, generalisation, and classification. Based on research results of Ukrainian and foreign scholars, the study characterised the basic opinions on the development of foreign language competence in reading, in particular, in high school students. The study defines the term “reading” and considers its main categories, such as types of reading, levels of comprehension of the text, general personal skills for perfect command of reading in a foreign language, etc. It was found that the main difficulties in the development of English competence in reading in high school students are general language, including spelling, and psychological, based on the lack of motivation to learn the language. Tips for English teachers are presented, focused on improving the development of English competence in reading in students, including the use of authentic materials, information technology, as well as the use of practical exercises that help improve reading aloud. The authors see the prospects for further research in the empirical substantiation of methods for overcoming the difficulties of developing English-language competence among high school students

The article deals with literary and artistic life at the Kremenets Ukrainian Gymnasium named after Ivan Steshenko. On the basis of archival materials the teaching staff of the educational institution, which functioned in the territory of the Second Rzeczpospolita, was studied. The author notes that the main component of state formation in the years of the Ukrainian People's Republic was the formation and development of Ukrainian national education and culture. The first step in implementing the national school reform was the creation of conditions for the introduction of the Ukrainian language in high school and the opening of new Ukrainian gymnasia. Numerous documents stored in the State Archives of the Ternopil region (351, «Private Ukrainian Gymnasium of Joint Training in Kremenets»), reveal the activity of the educational institution and confirm its prominent role in the educational life of the Ukrainian population of Kremenets. The researcher emphasizes the pedagogical skills of the teaching staff of the Kremenets Ukrainian Gymnasium, and the understanding of the important role of education in the process of preserving national dignity and spirituality contributed to the formation of students' professional and intellectual development. In its activity, the Ukrainian gymnasium has repeatedly faced difficulties: lack of funding, lack of premises adapted properly to educational needs, lack of appropriate material and technical base, but it became the center of high culture and education. The content of the first issue of the handwritten literary and artistic magazine "Youth" was analyzed, on the basis of the memoirs of the student of the gymnasium and the editor of the almanac U. Samchuk, the names of the members of the literary circle were established. The main aspects of the cultural-artistic collaboration of the teaching staff and the students' collectives of the gymnasium with Prosvita Society are revealed. The musical activity of high school students was traced and the programs of concert performances were explored. Based on the memories of former students of the gymnasium, the repertoire of the theater circle under the direction of G. Berezovsky was considered, and the study of high school students at the School of National Dances V. Avramenko was analyzed. The names of well-known writers and public figures who studied in the Ukrainian gymnasium were established.
