Education Standard

In contemporary Federal State Education Standard of Higher Education in a number of agrarian university programmes, knowledge of a foreign language is presented in two competencies at once. At the same time, if earlier the goal of foreign language teaching at a university was the foreign language communicative competence development and all its subcompetencies in the social and socio-cultural spheres of communication, then modern Federal State Education Standard of Higher Education also focus on the communicative competence development in the professional sphere of communication. Such an expansion of the use of a foreign language as a means of communication has contributed to the designation of the professional foreign language communicative competency development as one of the main goals of professional foreign language teaching in an agrarian university. At the same time, scientists have not come to a consensus on the structure and component composition of professional foreign-language communicative competency. We consider the history of the issue on the example of progremme “Technology of production and processing of agricultural products”, the structure and component composition of the professional foreign language communicative competency of agrarian university student are proposed. Structurally, the professional foreign-language communicative competency of students includes two components: a foreign language communicative and professional. A foreign language communicative consists of five subcompetencies: linguistic, speech, sociocultural, compensatory and educational-cognitive. The professional component includes knowledge in a specific sphere of professional activity and professional activities of specialists in a specific programme. This component will largely determine the content of teaching components of a foreign language communicative competence, adding professionally oriented subject content to the learning process, reflecting the features of specialists in the sphere of agricultural production and processing technology. In addition, as a level category, professional foreign language communicative competence of students consists of five components: value-motivational, cognitive, operational, communicative, reflective. The work describes in detail the content of these components.

Psychological Features

In connection with the use of the communicative method in foreign language teaching, the collocational competence development becomes especially relevant. Based on the analysis of the researchers’ works on the topic, it is revealed that one of the problems of the collocational competence development is not following the principle of the learning consciousness. The essence of this principle is that the provision of all theoretical information should precede the practice of a foreign language. Perception is highlighted as the initial level of consciousness. It is noted that the perception of the language material by the native speaker and the learner is different. Weak con-nections between the elements of the learner’s mental vocabulary explain why learners “mix” col-locations. Noticing is the next level of consciousness. The analysis of scientific literature has shown that noticing is an important component of the successful study of a foreign language. The conditions that affect operations upon noticing are highlighted. Understanding is the last level of consciousness. The next logical step in the collocational competence development, following the principle of learning consciousness, is the use of communicative and pseudocommunicative tasks to consolidate the conscious theoretical material.

Development Of Students

The main goal of foreign language teaching is the development of foreign language communicative competence that implies the development of speech skills. Due to the prevalence of the competency-based approach in the methods, as well as based on the lexical approach, special attention is paid to the collocational competence development. Since the vocabulary acquisition is founded on the acquisition of the compatibility of words and phrases, and collocations are certain words in the language that tend to be used together, we should talk about the inclusion of collocational competence into the communicative competence. Informatization of education influences the methods of foreign language teaching. For the successful implementation of educational process in the modern world, the development of linguocomputer competence is necessary for both students and the teacher. Analysis of the methodic literature showed that the issue of the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the collocational competence development of students is not well covered in domestic and foreign methodic literature, and requires a more detailed study. In the presented study: 1) we conduct an analysis of the domestic and foreign scientists works on the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the competencies development; 2) we prove the importance of collocation competence development of students; 3) we study the issue of linguocomputer competence development of both students and teachers; 4) we identify the key place of the complex task “dictogloss” as a mean of collocational competence development, as well as a mean of linguocomputer competence formation and development.
