The article considers the problem of effective construction of the working programme  as the main kind of the educational and methodical support for a course. The relevance of the topic of the research is caused by the existence of significant differences between the evaluation criteria and the expected results of teaching, the content of the course and the requirements of the educational programme. The quality of the architectonics and contentual logic of a working programme  illustrates the professional competence of the scientific and pedagogical worker. The aim of the article is to raise the awareness of the methodical problem of construction of the working programme  of the Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes course on the basis of the competence approach. The research process was based on the systemic structural and comparative methods of analysis of methodical materials, as well as generalisation and systematisation of the detected disadvantages. The selection of the working programme s for the analysis has been conducted considering the geographical criterion of the location of the pedagogical institution of higher education and the criterion of the free access to the educational programmes of the specialities 012 Pre-School Education, 013 Primary Education and the corresponding working programme s in the Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes course. The results of the research have been formulated according to the determined parameters. A gradual decrease in the interest in teaching the course at pedagogical institutions of higher education has been indicated, as well as its replacement with the Bases of Academic Writing course at non-pedagogical institutions of higher education. The author emphasizes the non-systemic use of the competence approach, the absence of a clear correlation between the programmatic competences and their concretisation within the course. Clearly determined teaching results concerning each topic in accordance with the educational programme have not been detected in any of the analysed programmes.

Formation of spoken and written professional language of students is connected with the increase of the level of a set of their competences. The efficiency of this process largely depends on usage of the potential of the text-centric technology in the process of teaching the Ukrainian language for professional purposes because text is the main means for creation of professional context. The aim of the article is determination of directions of implementation of the textcentric teaching technology of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes at pedagogical institutions of higher education, and analysis of the functional load of polycode text in this context. A set of methods has been used in the research process: the theoretical methods (reflexive analysis and generalization of literary sources for clarification of the level of solving the issue in the modern scientific area), the methods of visualization and generalization (for elucidation of the ways of usage of polycode texts while teaching the course). On the basis of analysis of scientific definitions of the concept “text” and its main features, there has been formulated a linguo-didactic definition of educational text and vectors of implementation of the text-centric teaching technology of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes at pedagogical institutions of higher education. Research of polycode text as a means of implementation of the text-centric teaching has been conducted, the main kinds of polycode texts and their functional load in the course of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes have been defined and analyzed. The exceptional didactic potential of hypertext as a modern form of organization of material, which is becoming especially important in conditions of distant education, is emphasized. The most efficient organizational forms of working with hypertext have been defined. Considering the features of the structure of polycode text (combination of the verbal and nonverbal components), document has been defined as its specific form. The holistic view of the studied issue is illustrated by the constructed model of the textcentric teaching technology of the Ukrainian language for professional purposes at pedagogical institutions of higher education.

ABSTRACT Between 2003 and 2014, the Brazilian government adopted a public policy of expansion within Brazilian Higher Education, to strengthen processes of social inclusion. This included the construction of new campi in far-from-the-shore cities within Brazil's interior. This study took place in one of these campi, which is located in a peripheral city of a big metropolis, where an English Teacher Education course was established in 2009. The course - academic writing for English teachers - aimed to develop students' writing together with their critical thinking. It is from this academic writing course that this research emerges. The pedagogy of writing suggested in this article is based on Giroux (1988) and Freire (2005). As such, it conceives of writing as an epistemology, a mode of learning that seeks to find "the thematic universe" or "the cluster of generative topics" that the students wished to research and write about (FREIRE, 2005, p. 101). The process pursued the investigation of the students' way of thinking of the "real" in the educational context through written language. The texts produced by students revealed transnational imaginaries and literacies that rupture the dominant model of transnational movements, physical or virtual. In this context, I believe that the ethnographic approach adopted by the course to investigate the cultures and literacies of this community of students contributed to the development of the students' academic writing skills and to an exchange of world views among the students and teacher that enriched the classroom as a learning space.

Learning academic writing seems to be a great challenge for most English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in non-native English-speaking countries, including in Indonesia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue appears to be more challenging where teachers are persuaded to learn from their home environment (LHE). Several online applications are freely available, and one of the most common applications is Google Classroom. However, the use of such application towards the students’ performance and perception remains understudied. This research aimed at exploring the practices of Google Classroom in facilitating the Academic Writing course of EFL undergraduates. Engaged by 96 participants of third-year students in the English Education Program, the research conducted an explanatory sequential research design by correlating the results data on writing assignments and a set of questionnaires. The findings indicated a significant correlation between using Google Classroom and the students’ writing performance. Moreover, most students expressed their satisfaction with Google Classroom’s practical features to get involved in the academic writing course. The students were satisfied with Google Classroom’s features that were easy to be recognized and easy to be operated. The Google Classroom features also provide clear instructions, practical directions, and the most valuable feature, that is assignment reminders for the students. It can be said that using Google Classroom in the EFL academic writing course at higher education is a great experience and brings great advantages to students’ outcomes.
