Статтю присвячено особливостям патріотичного виховання і розвитку почуття толерантності як основоположного складника патріотичного виховання в умовах сучасних політичних подій. На фоні загострення міжнаціональних конфліктів та суспільних кризових явищ виявлено необхідність і доцільність переформатування основних підходів у напрямі патріотичного виховання молоді нині. У зазначеному контексті акцент має бути зміщено у бік виховання толерантного ставлення громадянина-патріота до інших громадян як у межах своєї країни, так і з-за кордону, що уособлює мирне співіснування людей з різними поглядами на життя, незалежно від їхнього віросповідання, політичних поглядів чи мови, яку вважають рідною. Увагу акцентовано на важливості розвитку поваги, шанобливого ставлення, бажанні примножувати та берегти культурні цінності і надбання рідного народу, проте разом із тим почуття патріотизму не повинне бути абсолютизованим і загостреним. У статті доведено, що останнє є рушійною силою у виникненні конфліктів через різне бачення і ступінь виявлення патріотизму. Головним чинником на шляху примирення та запобігання цьому є розвиток почуття толерантності як основоположного складника патріотичного виховання в умовах сьогодення, що визначено нами як виховання свідомого громадянина-патріота. У статті наголошено, що формування такого свідомого патріотизму має тривати впродовж усього навчально-виховного процесу всіма закладами освіти, включаючи домашнє виховання. Принагідно було зазначено, що найкращим способом виховання толерантності є власний приклад, тому вчитель має сам бути свідомим патріотом і взірцем для тих, хто навчається. Також було визначено, що оптимальні умови для продуктивного виховного процесу у зазначеному контексті можуть бути створені на заняттях з іноземної мови: пізнання культури іншого народу, говоріння іноземною мовою створює невидимий дотик до іншого світу, відмінного від власного, і формує шанобливе ставлення до нього. Розуміння того, що наш світ є багатогранним, сповненим різних культур, віросповідань, мов, звичаїв, поглядів, що саме ця різнобарвність має створювати певну гармонію, є шляхом до мирного співіснування і визначається нами як толерантне ставлення до оточуючих свідомого патріота. У межах вивчення іноземних мов окреслено спеціальний інструментарій у вигляді, зокрема, таких інтерактивних методик, покликаних сприяти в розвитку зазначених особистісних якостей, як: рольові ігри, підготовка спільних проєктів і презентацій, кейс-метод, дискусії у стилі толерантності.Ключові слова: патріотичне виховання, толерантність, свідомий громадянин-патріот, власний приклад, пізнання інших культур, інтерактивні методики. Viewing the political events today the article is devoted to the peculiarities of patriotic education and upbringing a sense of tolerance as its fundamental component. The need of reformatting the main approaches to patriotic education of young people today has been revealed taking into consideration growing quantity of interethnic conflicts and social crises. In this context, the emphasis should be shifted towards developing a tolerant attitude of the patriot-citizen to other citizens both within his own country and abroad, that makes possible the peaceful coexistence of people with different views on life, regardless of their religion, political views or the spoken language. Emphasis has been given to the importance of developing the sense of respect, desire to multiply and preserve the cultural values and heritage of the native country, but at the same time the sense of patriotism should not be absolute and sharpened. The article proves that the latter is a driving force in the emergence of conflicts, both multinational and among citizens of one country and nationality, that often happens because of different views on patriotism. The main factor in reconciling and preventing such conflicts is upbringing the sense of tolerance as a fundamental component of patriotic education in today’s conditions, that we define as the education of a reasonable citizen-patriot. The article emphasizes that the formation of such a reasonable patriotism should be continued throughout the educational process by all educational institutions, as well as be supported at home. It has been also stated that the best way to become tolerant is to see the true to life example, so the teacher himself must be a real patriot and a role model for students. It has been also determined that the optimal conditions for a productive educational process in this context can be created at foreign language classes: learning the culture of other people, speaking a foreign language creates an invisible touch to another world, different from their own and forms a respectful attitude to it. Understanding that our world is unique, full of different cultures, religions, languages, customs, views and that this diversity should create a certain harmony, is a way to peaceful coexistence and is defined by us as a tolerant attitude to others by a reasonable patriot. Within the study of foreign languages, special tools have been singled out, namely interactive methods for promoting the development of these personal qualities: role-playing games, preparation of joint projects and presentations, a case method, discussions in the style of tolerance.Key words: patriotic upbringing, tolerance, reasonable citizen-patriot, true to life examples, learning other cultures, interactive methods.

Social, technical and economic changes that have taken place in the country in recent years make new demands on specialists in various fields of knowledge, and technicians are not exception. The English language study plays a major role in forming professional qualities of future technicians. The implementation of tasks requires the use of various methods in teaching English to students of technical departments, but the main methodological innovations today involve the use of interactive methods. Interactive teaching methods are the actual way of teacher’s work in classroom, group or any educational institution. Interactive teaching methods, in contrast to the traditional ones, are based on the active interaction of participants in the educational process, and special attention is paid upon students’ interaction with each other. This approach allows teachers: 1) to create a classroom atmosphere that helps to encourage students to ask questions and seek answers, take (as a basis) the following types of training that would facilitate the development of critical thinking and independent acquisition of knowledge, encourage reflection; 2) to apply existing methods, become a thoughtful professional, which means to learn how to observe carefully, identify problems and create new strategies to solve them; 3) to be a model for other students, transfer knowledge to them. In turn, students learn to think critically, solve difficult problems based on analysis of circumstances and relevant information, make thoughtful decisions, participate in discussions, communicate with other people. Participants of interactive learning set learning objectives, develop a learning activity, identify problems in the course of training, study the reflection of their training activities. The article describes the most popular interactive teaching methods (role play, presentation, conversations, brainstorming, projects, podcasting, video files, blogging, round table, discussion, situational analysis) at the English language classes with students of technical departments. The interactive learning is important for personal and professional development. Interaction helps involve students in performing activities with technical terms, and such activities can enhance vocabulary acquisition and promote the development of lexical skills. Students are able to take control of their learning process and also figure out their preferred resources with the help of interactive technology. In this way, they can choose the method to present projects and also develop important research skills for the upcoming days. Furthermore, students are able to develop their communication as well as collaborative expertise by working on shared projects or documents and this will help them significantly afterward when they mature into working individuals. The author comes to the conclusion that the use of interactive methods in teaching a foreign language to future technicians helps to organize an active interaction of all participants of the communication process which results in the exchange of professional information in a foreign language and the acquisition of professional qualities and practical skills of technical communication.

The formation of skill of understanding the interlocutor’s emotions and correcting one’s own emotions with regard to a specific communication situation, the development of adaptive abilities of the individual through emotional interaction with others, as well as the ability to predict the resulting failures in various types of social activity, should be considered as mandatory conditions for ensuring the success of communication. To study a peculiar aspect of emotional intelligence formation, a research task was set: taking into account the ethno-psychological and cultural characteristics of the Chinese audience, to use the phenomenon of «double alienation» in order to create a role-playing situation that allows one to communicate from another person, removing the protective psycho-emotional mechanisms of the Chinese language personality; in other words, realizing a «compulsion to double alienation». An important place here is also given to a multi-level emotional and communicative reflection, directed both externally and internally. The hypothesis of the study is to investigate the possibility of using emotional intelligence by native Chinese speakers. At the centre of our task was the choice of certain forms of work and the construction of the educational process in a way that would contribute to the development of emotional intelligence of the secondary language personality of Chinese students. In order to prove or refute the research hypothesis put forward by us, we conducted a formative experiment that allowed us to test the methodological innovation and evaluate its impact on the parameter under study. The following interactive methods for developing emotional intelligence were chosen for the experiment: psychological role-playing game-discussion using the «Six Thinking Hats» technique developed by the famous British researcher Edward de Bono as a system for organizing thinking and describing tools for structuring group discussion. The technique helps to develop the emotional intelligence of a manager of a modern company with international activities and improve interaction in multinational project teams. Our experiment showed a non-random connection between the inclusion of a new method of «forcing to double alienation», which takes into account the ethno-psychological characteristics of participants, and the resulting effectiveness, which allowed us to choose it as the optimal one for the effective forming of the emotional intelligence of a secondary Chinese language personality.

The history of the emergence of the “case-study” method as a significant method for the national methodic science is briefly presented in a historical cut. From a theoretical point of view, the main trends in the development of the “case-study” method in the domestic school foreign language education are outlined. It is emphasized that there is a rapid spread of the “case-study” method in the school methods of teaching foreign languages. This method becomes an effective means of organizing the educational and cognitive process, coexists with other interactive methods. The “case-study” method is actively used in teaching foreign languages both in general educational institutions and in higher educational institutions, and is already one of the components of the educational process. It is emphasized that, working with teaching, training and systematizing cases in the process of learning a foreign language, students receive an analysis of the usual situation and a solution to the problems raised by means of a foreign language. The study of cases gives students the opportunity to use a ready-made scheme for solving a communication problem in a certain communicative situation, forms the skills for solving deeper problems. Naturally, students will be able to apply this experience in similar cases in the implementation of future intercultural activities.
