Linguistic Approach

The article describes the experiences of applying cognitive linguistic approach to development of learners foreign language competence. It is suggested that the introduction of new language material should be based on conceptual representations (senses) of language forms rather than on comparability of native and foreign languages. Behind the cognitive approach to teaching foreign language there is a proposition that language is connected with reality or one of the possible realities through interpreting activity of an individual. The author discusses such issues of cognitive science as knowledge representation, information processing, development of language consciousness and individual learning styles in relation to teaching Russian learners a foreign language. The article describes the experiences of using cognitive mechanisms in development of effective tools in teaching a foreign language, in particular such topics as the system of the English article, teaching learners new foreign language vocabulary, usage of polysemantic words. The enhancement of language didactics paradigm with cognitive issues appears to be beneficial not only in learning a foreign language but also in development the learners general discursive competence.

The Impact

The purpose of this paper is to consider the problems of teaching foreign languages as one of the priorities of the modern educational process at different levels. The paper focuses on the priority of the humanitarian paradigm and the impact of the linguocultural situation and the linguistic and cultural environment on the formation of the educational environment and personal development in modern conditions, the similarity of key skills and trends in the development of the educational system in Bulgaria and Russia is established. The cognitive-communicative approach to teaching foreign languages, based on the development and activation of cognitive mechanisms of students and the modernization of the educational environment using cognitive techniques and technologies, determines the effectiveness and quality of teaching foreign languages. Foreign language competence is a necessary and integral part of the communicative competence of an educated person in the modern world. Special attention in thе paper is paid to the specifics of teaching a foreign language (as opposed to the native /or the second native one) outside the sphere of communication.The further development of foreign languageteaching methods of various types of monasticism, in our opinion, will provide not only mastery of the language, but also its successful assimilation.

Development Of Language

This paper presents some of the findings from research carried out among language teachers on translation and interpreting (T&I) degree courses in Spain, who responded to a questionnaire aiming to obtain a clearer idea of how foreign language teaching in this field of studies differed from approaches in other areas. The main purpose was to compile data based on actual practice, rather than theoretical notions. While the questions posed tended to be framed in such a way as to draw conclusions more for translation than for interpreting, a number of them were conducive to eliciting responses relating to aural and oral performance. Our paper will set forth the ensuing findings that can be applied to the development of language- and culture-based competences for subsequent interpreting courses and practices, as well as exploring possible further areas of study in the area of the teaching of both foreign languages and the mother tongue based on the specific language competences required in the different modalities of interpreting. We are, of course, immensely grateful to all those teachers who took the time and trouble to answer our questions.

This study examines the results obtained by using the traditional and the cognitive approach to teaching phrasal verbs. The control group was taught phrasal verbs using the traditional way i.e. by providing a direct translation into Serbian. In the experimental group the author presented the verbs by explaining the meanings of the very particles and the meanings they develop. Both groups were given a test immediately after they received input. They were also tested on the meanings of untaught phrasal verbs three weeks later. Utilising the cognitive approach helped the students learn the phrasal verbs more successfully. The students who knew various meanings of the particles were able to understand the meanings of the whole phrasal verbs better. The experimental group was able to predict the meanings of the untaught phrasal verbs in the delayed test better than the control group.

Abstract The contemporary teaching of foreign languages assumes the development of the ability to use a foreign language in different communication situations. Apart from language competence, also the cultural competence is developed as it is a necessary component of communication. A successful transfer of knowledge and language skills in the process of foreign language learning is determined by a textbook (in addition to other factors). The goal of this article is to analyze the content and assess three Danish textbooks, which were published in Germany in the years 2008-2010. The textbooks are examined in terms of knowledge about Danish life and institutions, the transfer of intercultural competence and the presence of stereotypes. The textbooks were studied based on the list of criteria and it resulted in stating that the textbooks fulfill the objective of providing the knowledge about the country to a great degree. The intercultural component and the issue of stereotypes are dealt with in a different manner.

Learning English

The improvement in learning English is based on how students are enthusiastic about the subject of English. Learning languages, mainly English, is a great need, even for our primary students who have the responsibility to develop in the globalized world (Muñoz, 2002). These traits are the critical parts of one’s personality because they make him unique, and what psychologists have desired to study and measure in the process of learning English as the foreign or second language. Indeed, the variations between individuals, their learning situations and the contexts where they learn are some features that can illustrate the complexity of learning a foreign language. Conversely, in research on the acquisition of foreign languages, it is essential to consider the differences between individuals, their different ways of learning styles and the environment where they are involved.

Introduction. Today, foreign language competence of a person is a necessary means of active social and professional life. Despite this, quite a lot of young people do not always have the desire to learn foreign languages. This paradox made the motivation to learn foreign languages a popular issue to research worldwide. The article presents the scoping review of international studies devoted to the issue of motivation to learn foreign languages. First of all, it is necessary to understand the research trends in the study of this issue in general, and to determine factors, which influence the lack of students' interest to learn foreign languages in particular.The aim of the present research is to outline the current focus trends and to define the gaps in international research papers aimed at investigating the issue of motivation for foreign languages learning.Methodology and research methods. The methodological framework of the current research is based on the qualitative content analysis of relevant empirical research on this issue from the periodicals indexed by the international databases Scopus and Web of Science over the last 15 years. This review will provide an understanding of the degree of knowledge of the analysed issues at the international level.Results. The research works on the issues of motivation for foreign languages learning were divided into two main categories: the research works concentrated on inner - academic and professional factors, and the works which deal with the outer - social factors of influence. Within these groups, the existing research trends and the most promising research areas were identified (for instance, the influence of peers on the motivational sphere of students). Amongst the numerous works investigating external (socio-economic) factors of influence, there is insufficient research on the influence of macro-political and macro-economic factors on the motivation for learning languages (for instance, foreign languages learning preferences). The research outcomes will contribute to understanding the factors, which influence the students' lack of interest in learning foreign languages.The scientific novelty is in the originality of the demonstrated review, which includes many scientific papers performed by scientists from all over the world and based on various research procedures. In the review, the geographical principle of data selection was not used and the publication date was not taken into account. The main selection criterion was a research paper to be published in a journal peer-reviewed by international databases over the last 15 years.Such a principle was necessary to understand research trends in the issue of motivation for mastering a foreign language competence and to determine similar (or specific) factors for different countries, which cause students' lack of interest in learning foreign languages.Practical significance. The results of the obtained analysis will give understanding of the reasons for the lack of students' motivation to study foreign languages. Moreover, it will help to find a solution to this international challenge.
