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.

Nowadays political reality is characterized by instability, the tendency of traditional state structures to collapse and the emergence of new interstate associations. The analysis of current political events taking place in them belongs to the professional activities of political scientists. As it is impossible to find a modern country which could develop beyond the formation of world civilization, there is no doubt that political scientists of different nationalities should communicate in the global English language. It follows from the above that it is necessary to train qualified specialists in this field of knowledge who could fulfil their professional duties by means of English. However, the existing methods of teaching English-language professional speech to the future political scientists do not provide students with the mentioned skills. In this regard, the purpose of the suggested article is to work out theoretical bases for training future political scientists in profession-oriented activity in English. The development of the above-mentioned skills is possible on the basis of the procedural integration of the English language and political science, where the links of these two different subjects are coordinated. A specific feature of the procedural integration is the manifestation of educational and professional foreign language skills alongside with foreign language professional skills in the profession-centred (field-centred) process. Thus, it is necessary to develop two integrated competences: the professional and foreign language speaking ones. For their development, the professional subject of the course of political science and the corresponding vocabulary necessary for the expression of its content have been determined. Integrated training of future political scientists in analysing current events in English includes the stages as follows: familiarization, language-oriented, training in speaking, and profession-centred. Keywords: professional activity, integrated training, future political scientists, procedural integration, professional competence, foreign language speech competence.
