The Future

The present paper addresses the issue of teaching foreign language as an indispensable course at university. One of the demands to the training of future engineers is to prepare them for solving professional tasks and situations. A continuous case study method is one of the forms of problem-based learning which allows teachers to model fragments of future professional activity, its multicultural context. We suggest a continuous case study method as a powerful tool for modelling real professional activities, which contributes to the formation of professionally oriented English-language competence of future engineers. In our article, we aim to reveal the essence and stages of using the method of continuous case studies at English classes. We outlined the following methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization, inference, observation. In order to verify our statement, we conducted a continuous case study on the topic “Refutation of inaccurate information on technical operation and repair of lifting mechanisms at the enterprise”. As shown by the results of our research, a continuous case study method is a way of development of a professionally oriented English-language competence of the future engineers by involving them in solving imaginary professionally oriented problems through simulated engineering environment. It has been found that the use of a continuous case study method in the course “Practical Course of Foreign Language for Professional (Scientific) Purposes” contributes to the improvement of the future engineers’ professionally oriented foreign-language competencies in listening, speaking, reading; professionally oriented sociocultural, linguistic, educational, strategic and pragmatic competencies.

The introduction to the article analyzes the current state of the future pharmacists’ language competence, in particular English. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate the essence of the concept of «English-language competence of future pharmacists» and highlight the features of its formation. Methods. In the process of fulfilling the goal a set of theoretical methods was used - analysis of scientific-methodical, psychological-pedagogical literature, study of normative-program documentation on the research topic. The results. Based on the analysis of the scientific literature, the essence of the concept of «profession-oriented English-language competence» is clarified together with its links with professional competence, language and communication.

Conclusions. The article identifies the peculiarities of forming the profession-oriented English-language competence in teaching a foreign language to students of the pharmaceutical university: a foreign language in profession-oriented learning becomes not only the object of learning, but also a means of forming the students’ profession-oriented English-language competence; mastering a foreign language is realized in practice-oriented language activities, the ability to participate in the communication of profession-oriented topics, and not in the knowledge of individual elements of a language; increasing the role of self-study work of students is caused by the constant development of modern technologies and innovations in pharmacy, increasing the amount of professional information and pharmaceutical terminology in English, which requires the future specialist skills and abilities to master information independently; the professional activity of pharmacists is connected with the formation and further development of their clinical thinking, professional and personal qualities (observation, flexibility, purposefulness, concentration, determination, communicative literacy).

Lexical Bundle

Abstract The use of formulaic language in written discourse is an important indicator of language competence. Nonetheless, the features of lexical bundles used by lower proficiency English as a Foreign Language learners have received little attention. The present study addressed this gap by employing a corpus-based method to investigate the quantity, function, and quality of four-word lexical bundles produced by low proficiency L2 English writers with 11 different L1 backgrounds in response to a timed English writing assessment. The investigation was specifically anchored on the data extracted from 1,330 essays using Wordsmith 7.0. Results of the investigation showed (1) an over dependence on writing topic related bundles; (2) an Indo-European L1 language background positively influencing lexical bundle production; (3) an overuse of stance expressions and discourse organizers at the expense of referential expression usage; (4) L1 Japanese, Korean, and Telugu writers producing more accurate lexical bundles and L1 German writers producing fewer accurate lexical bundles; and (5) the frequent use of lexical bundles not leading to highly accurate and appropriate use of lexical bundles. The implications of these results were discussed in connection with foreign language education.
