The urgency of the topic is to modernise the formation of the modern English-language linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils in terms of abilities and readiness of the individual for intercultural communication. The purpose of the article is to consider and describe the model presenting the methods aimed at the developing the modern topical English linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils taking into account the basic requirements of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) concept and in accordance with the European recommendations on language education. Based on the theoretical and methodological analysis of the literature on the research problem, modern methodological approaches to the formation of the English-language linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils are generalised. A model presenting the formation of the modern topical English-language linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils has been developed, taking into account the basic requirements of the NUS concept and in accordance with the All-European recommendations on language education. This model takes into account the leading basic components as follows: modern pedagogical, psychological and methodological principles facilitating the organisation of the educational process based on the postulates of partnership pedagogy; child-centeredness; positive, age-related and cognitive psychology; subcompetence-, activity- and competence-based approaches. The presented method aimed at forming the modern English-language linguistic and cultural competence of secondary school pupils is an attempt to timely resolve the contradiction between the rapid technical and technological development of personality in ontogenesis and the gradual decline of his / her linguistic and cultural, in particular English-speaking, competence. Modern and relevant topics are offered to acquaint the profession-related audience with the subjects of English language teaching. A sample "Workbook" is presented.

The research problem is the development of the personal self-determination of secondary school students in the process of learning based on the humanitarization of education.  The research has been underpinned by the humanitarian paradigm of education, which is the result of the development of pedagogical methodology. In the 21st century, pedagogy is viewed as a social-humanitarian science with the predominance of the humanitarian component. We regard humanitarization as a contemporary technology of the educational process. The aims of the study are to analyse the characteristics of the personal self-determination of adolescents, identify the structure of the personal self-determination of secondary school students and determine conditions for the development of the personal self-determination of secondary school students in the process of learning. The research methods include observation, survey, conversation, an establishing experiment, mathematical statistics.  The research results:1.     there was determined the structure of personal self-determination of secondary school students as the system of inter-connected components;2.     it was established that the humanitarization of the educational process is the key precondition for the development of the personal self-determination of secondary school students both regarding the logic of the subject and the logic of the process of learning (changing the style of relationships), as well as the logic of education (understanding culture as the world of human attitudes and meanings);3.     the key values of secondary school students were identified, which were mainly pragmatic values.

Teaching English

The problem of finding effective methods of teaching foreign languages, focused on quick and easy assimilation of language material, its activation in the process of communication in various life situations, is the subject of numerous pedagogical discourse. A modern teacher is a mentor of the educational process, and is able to use a wide methodological and technological pedagogical toolkit. Among the most important problems of modern linguodidactics is the weak motivation of students to learn a foreign language in the absence of a linguistic environment. Therefore, the main task of organizing the educational process in teaching a foreign language is to develop students' interest in the language. The article focuses on the authors' practical experience on the use of theater technologies in additional language education and presents a tested foreign language teaching program. The research problem: what is the role of theatrical activities in teaching English? The purpose of the research is to substantiate the potential of theatrical activity in teaching English. The research methods used are observation, generalization, analysis. The research results: the influence of the means of theatrical activity on the process of teaching English to schoolchildren has been described; the understanding of theatricalization as an interactive educational technology in the English classroom has been presented; the experience of using elements of theater in extracurricular activities for the study of the English language have been described; the arguments of theatrical activity as an effective means of teaching a foreign language have been substantiated. Key findings: the means of theatrical activity include the following theatrical techniques: roleplay when reading foreign texts, a theatrical story about a character / historical personality, a scene, sketches, games, etc. Theatrical technologies complement the traditional form of the classroom, contributing to the development of open dialogical communication, the emotional component, broadening the horizons of students, which makes it possible to expand the range of opportunities for teaching a foreign language.

Verb Agreement

Even after undertaking years of formal education to acquire the language in schools, having a poor command of English remains a problem faced by most Malaysians, especially students in rural schools of Sarawak. Based on the error-analysis carried out by recent research, subject–verb agreement (SVA) is one of the most frequent errors committed by students. To overcome this problem, teachers should significantly improve students’ mastery of SVA in the English language through effective teaching methods. Therefore, this research was conducted to explore the effects of Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures in teaching SVA among rural Sarawak learners. In this study, 35 Form 4 students were selected from a secondary school in the Belaga District, Sarawak as the research participants. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used as data collection tools. Overall, findings demonstrated that students showed positive feedback after the intervention was implemented. Results of this research will hopefully provide insights to secondary school students, teachers and the community in the cooperative teaching and learning of grammar.

The interaction of secondary school and university is most often focused not on the development of the personality of students, but on their choice of directions for further education. We assume that the level of development of the personality of adolescents does not correspond to the age-related task of professional self-determination. To test this hypothesis, we used a set of projective and survey methods aimed at studying the level of development of self-awareness, conceptual thinking and motivational sphere, including in relation to the choice of a profession. In addition, we studied the current interests of adolescents and their relationship to school. The study was conducted on a sample of 153 Moscow school students aged 14-17 years. The results obtained show that worries about the imminent graduation from school and the choice of a profession leaves an imprint on the state of schoolchildren, and success in this matter seems to them overvalued. The personal interests and plans of the children are suppressed by the fear of final exams and admission to a university. Based on the data obtained, we concluded that it is necessary to bridge the gap between the real interests and needs of schoolchildren and the educational environment. As a means for this, a special subdivision of the school and the university is proposed – "School Campus". The work of the "School Campus" can provide a change in the social situation of the development of schoolchildren, removing this contradiction.

For almost three decades, literary walk has been used by various education and public institutions in Hong Kong as an effective way to promote reading and writing to secondary school students. Funded by the Standing Committee on Language Education and Research of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government in 2013, the Hong Kong Literature Research Centre (HKLRC) of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library (CUHK Library) jointly kicked off a two-year proposal entitled “Fun with Learning Chinese Language through Literary Walk” aimed at promoting literary reading and writing skills to junior secondary school students in Hong Kong. In this paper, the authors discuss a key deliverable of this project, the Hong Kong Literary Landscape MediaWiki, jointly developed by the HKLRC and the CUHK Library, which provides literary walk materials on the wiki platform including video clips, critically selected literary works, literary maps, creative writings of the student participants, and so on. Apart from the project participants, the Hong Kong Literary Landscape MediaWiki is also a useful tool for other secondary school teachers, students, and a wider group of audience in the Hong Kong community.
