The article reveals the problem of increasing the efficiency of teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties by means of introducing a system of pedagogical teaching technologies into the educational process. It has been determined that pedagogical technologies of teaching are such pedagogical technologies, which are based on modern positions of professional development of a person and aimed at achieving educational goals. In the process of learning foreign languages, they are a way of a phased system of organization of the communicative interaction between a teacher and a student in the conditions of operative feedback between them through the use of specific methods, forms and means of learning. It has been found that the leading class of pedagogical technologies for teaching foreign languages is a communicatively oriented technique – a project technique and an appropriate system of its successive and phased implementation, in which learning emerges as a model of real-world foreign communication. The article provides a classification of pedagogical techniques for teaching foreign languages to students of the economic area of expertise, which can contribute to their more systematic use to improve the efficiency of the educational process in higher education institutions. Among the subspecies of communicative oriented techniques of teaching foreign languages to students of economic specialties the following subcategories have been identified: subjects of educational process management – techniques of teaching, learning, partnership interaction and instrumental techniques; the place in the organization of the educational process – the technique of in-class, out-of-class and independent activities; according to the methodological approach – technique-modernization and technique-transformation and in the terms of implementation – meta-techniques, branch macro techniques, modular-local and micro techniques. The author sees the directions for further research in the development of tools for the implementation of the above techniques in accordance with the characteristics of the professional training of students of economic area of expertise.

Abstract Objective: The main aim of paper is to present results from research concerning creative didactic work understood as consciously taken actions whose aim is to invent/implement and popularize new and valuable teaching strategies, methodical and organizational solutions. The paper presents an area of experiences that stimulate academic teachers to innovative didactic work. Methods: In a qualitative research conducted with the use of a theoretical-methodological approach of Gruber (1989) titled The Evolving Systems Approach to Creative Work (ESA). In it, the author applied a case study and conducted an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to contents deriving from semistructured interviews carried out with 13 academic teachers-innovators that for at least 5 years invented/implemented new strategies/methods/techniques/programes/didactic aids in the process of teaching-learning with students. Results: Such experiences of didactic work as: positive emotions accompanying the process of inventing and implementing creative didactic solutions, good feedback from students, reaching educational goals, and encouragement from: students, co-workers, and significant persons make up the “self-propelling mechanism” for creativity in didactic work. Conclusions: Each stage of didactic work: from idea through implementation of the solution to its popularization is connected with pleasure and satisfaction taken by teachers. It makes them eager to continue their work in the form of various activities that create an internally related “weave of actions.” Thus, teaching in a creative way becomes a “self-propelling mechanism” thanks to which it is also subject to a process of continuous evolution of it.

The article reviews the main reasons for the growth of the role of a «foreign language» discipline within the framework of non-linguistic specialties as part of the process of gradual reformation of the higher education system in Ukraine. The author addresses the search for effective concepts for the integration of professional training and teaching foreign languages for future highly qualified specialists in non-linguistic universities, which are reflected in strategic government documents. The main innovative methods of teaching a foreign language, conditions for their effective application in the educational process of higher educational institutions along with their teaching and educational potential are analyzed. Amongst the innovative methods of teaching students a foreign language, the author highlighted the following: training modules that ensure the development of the fluency of students' speech, as well as their confident communication in a foreign language; case technologies that make it possible to use practical life situations for learning; binary classes allowing the integration of subjects, interest and students` motivation. Educators and students have the opportunity to use the Internet and computer technology to increase the efficiency of the process of learning foreign languages in university courses. A great tool for learning foreign languages are mobile applications and Internet platforms that use authentic materials. Students and teachers have access to audio and video materials created by native speakers who are also teachers. Mobile applications allow you to independently create test tasks, surveys and a variety of games and involve a large number of students.

The article is devoted to the study of the types and characteristics of feedback as a component of formative assessment. The research problem is associated with a variety of approaches to the classification of feedback types and the presence of a significant number of typologies which causes difficulties in developing effective strategies for its implementation for the purposes of formative assessment. An analysis of the feedback classifications proposed by researchers in the context of the educational process made it possible to distinguish the following approaches: a general approach, considered feedback as a component of the educational process; a special approach focused on the development of feedback types in relation to a specific academic subject; instrumental approach, differentiating types of feedback depending on the means used for its implementation – both technical and non-technical. The considered classifications of feedback are focused on the allocation of one classification basis and, therefore, allow us to consider feedback in the only selected aspect. To determine the effectiveness of feedback strategies, it seems insufficient to use one parameter and, accordingly, make separately taken typologies. The aim of the study is to identify types of feedback based on the analysis of the components of the assessment situation and being based on them to create a multidimensional classification of feedback types. Feedback characteristics were determined due to the influence of the subject, object, scope and basis of the assessment, as well as the assessment tool. We came to the conclusion that feedback characteristics during the implementation of formative assessment can be referred to different levels of information use obtained during the assessment. Feedback, therefore, may include information on the current situation, the planned learning outcomes and effective techniques for achieving educational goals.

En este estudio hemos seguido el modelo de Análisis de Errores que constituye una fuente de información importante en el ámbito de la enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido investigar los errores gramaticales que cometen con más frecuencia los aprendices griegos de español como lengua extranjera en la expresión escrita del nivel B1. Durante el proceso de aprendizaje los alumnos formulan hipótesis mediante la utilización de estrategias y mecanismos psicolingüísticos y por ello nuestro estudio ha profundizado además en la descripción de estas estrategias con el fin de detectar las causas que originan los errores. La clasificación de los errores se ha basado en el criterio lingüístico, descriptivo y etiológico. Los datos obtenidos provienen de producciones escritas reales de los aprendices griegos. Para el análisis hemos aplicado una investigación cuantitativa. En los resultados se proporcionan porcentajes de los errores frecuentes que hemos localizado. Tanto los resultados obtenidos de nuestro análisis e investigación como las conclusiones a las que hemos llegado resultan relevantes para la prevención de errores gramaticales y la optimización de la enseñanza del español a griegos.ABSTRACTIn this study we have followed the model of Error Analysis that constitutes an important source of information in the field of teaching-learning foreign languages. The aim of this study has been to investigate the grammatical errors most frequently made by Greek learners of Spanish as a foreign language (SFL) in the written expression of the B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). During the learning process, students formulate hypotheses through the use of strategies and psycholinguistic mechanisms, which is why our study also goes deeper into the description of these strategies in order to detect the causes that originate the errors. The classification of errors is based on linguistic, descriptive and etiological criteria. The data obtained come from real written productions of the Greek students. For the analysis we have applied a quantitative research. Percentages of the frequent errors we have located are given in the results. The results obtained from our analysis and research and also the conclusions we have reached are relevant for the prevention of grammatical errors and the optimization of teaching Spanish language to Greek learners.

The article attempts to show how the theory of Frame Semantics and the resources of the lexical database FrameNet can be used for teaching/learning terminology of specialised domains. The article discusses the principles of Frame Semantics and presents a use case of application of the frame-based methodology for developing classification of terminology of the selected financial subdomain for learning/teaching purposes. The use case focuses on terms denoting concepts that compose ‘CAUSE-RISK’ frame which was developed on the basis of several related frames in the FrameNet database. The stages of the use case and its outcomes are described in detail and the benefits of application of the methodology for learning/teaching specialised vocabulary are provided. Hopefully, the provided insights will give ideas to teachers of foreign languages for specific purposes and help to develop effective terminology teaching/learning techniques.
