Previous research has proved that there are positive outcomes on EFL acquisition from the interaction that takes place while playing video games known as MMORPGs. These games immerse players in virtual worlds that are inhabited by hundreds and even thousands of other players, and all are partaking in the game in real time. Learners who choose to play the game in a foreign language are exposed to target language input in a context-rich environment where they can interact with native-speakers and other language learners.

Massively Multiplayer

MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games) like World of Warcraft® require gamers to communicate in English regardless of their language competence in it. Therefore, English becomes the lingua franca of many gamers. Furthermore, gamers have to communicate effi ciently with one another in high stress situations causing another linguistic challenge. These conditions do not lead to the assumption that politeness is of any relevance in MMORPGs but rather that these games are hostile and impolite environments. A survey investigating the language usage of gamers, including a questionnaire and a selfcompiled corpus, sheds light on the language usage and politeness of gamers. This survey asks how and why gamers coming from different language backgrounds using ELF in MMORPGs utilize politeness to position themselves.

The article presents the analysis of the implementation of interactive technologies at the English for specific purposes lessons for motivating students at agrarian and technical universities. It is emphasized that the use of an interactive learning model, which includes modelling life situations, the use of role-playing games, joint problem solving, effects students’ motivation. Unlike the subject-object approach, the students become the subjects of interaction; they actively participate in the learning process, following their individual route. The students acquire knowledge in the process of interactive learning not in the finished form, but obtain it themselves, in the process of their own activity. Therefore, the goal of the teacher is to create the conditions under which the students will discover new knowledge, construct it, and use it. It is noted that the process of learning a foreign language for special purposes requires the creation of a mixed learning environment, in which a new type of cooperation between teachers and students emerges. The authors gave the examples of the use of interactive learning technology which can improve the training of future professionals and ensure the formation of the professional foreign language communication skills. The results of experimental implementation of interactive means for developing students’ motivation are presented.

Key Aspects

We consider the peculiarities and prospects of modern methods of teaching English in their connection with the cognitive sciences. The key aspects of teaching English within the framework of the communicative-cognitive approach using cognitive linguistics as a linguistic basis are considered. The importance of the balance of the communicative and cognitive aspects of a foreign language lesson is substantiated while providing evidence in favor of the effectiveness of teaching a foreign language, which is of a communicative and cognitive nature. We provide examples of possible difficulties occurring while organizing foreign language teaching and suggest some ways to overcome those difficulties. The prospects for the development of communicative-oriented teaching of a foreign language are outlined. We provide evidence for high potential of foreign language teaching organized on a linguocognitive basis, in particular in a number of cases that are difficult for traditional approaches. By the example of negation in English, the effectiveness of teaching a foreign language on a linguocognitive basis is substantiated. We provide a classification of functional characteristics of negation from the standpoint of cognitive linguistics. It substantiates the potential of using role-playing games and sketches in the structure of a communicative-cognitive lesson, based on the principles of cognitive linguistics. We provide a set of examples of role-play games and sketches for teaching negation in English on a linguocognitive basis and provides evidence for their high potential in teaching the theoretical and practical aspects of English.

Статтю присвячено особливостям патріотичного виховання і розвитку почуття толерантності як основоположного складника патріотичного виховання в умовах сучасних політичних подій. На фоні загострення міжнаціональних конфліктів та суспільних кризових явищ виявлено необхідність і доцільність переформатування основних підходів у напрямі патріотичного виховання молоді нині. У зазначеному контексті акцент має бути зміщено у бік виховання толерантного ставлення громадянина-патріота до інших громадян як у межах своєї країни, так і з-за кордону, що уособлює мирне співіснування людей з різними поглядами на життя, незалежно від їхнього віросповідання, політичних поглядів чи мови, яку вважають рідною. Увагу акцентовано на важливості розвитку поваги, шанобливого ставлення, бажанні примножувати та берегти культурні цінності і надбання рідного народу, проте разом із тим почуття патріотизму не повинне бути абсолютизованим і загостреним. У статті доведено, що останнє є рушійною силою у виникненні конфліктів через різне бачення і ступінь виявлення патріотизму. Головним чинником на шляху примирення та запобігання цьому є розвиток почуття толерантності як основоположного складника патріотичного виховання в умовах сьогодення, що визначено нами як виховання свідомого громадянина-патріота. У статті наголошено, що формування такого свідомого патріотизму має тривати впродовж усього навчально-виховного процесу всіма закладами освіти, включаючи домашнє виховання. Принагідно було зазначено, що найкращим способом виховання толерантності є власний приклад, тому вчитель має сам бути свідомим патріотом і взірцем для тих, хто навчається. Також було визначено, що оптимальні умови для продуктивного виховного процесу у зазначеному контексті можуть бути створені на заняттях з іноземної мови: пізнання культури іншого народу, говоріння іноземною мовою створює невидимий дотик до іншого світу, відмінного від власного, і формує шанобливе ставлення до нього. Розуміння того, що наш світ є багатогранним, сповненим різних культур, віросповідань, мов, звичаїв, поглядів, що саме ця різнобарвність має створювати певну гармонію, є шляхом до мирного співіснування і визначається нами як толерантне ставлення до оточуючих свідомого патріота. У межах вивчення іноземних мов окреслено спеціальний інструментарій у вигляді, зокрема, таких інтерактивних методик, покликаних сприяти в розвитку зазначених особистісних якостей, як: рольові ігри, підготовка спільних проєктів і презентацій, кейс-метод, дискусії у стилі толерантності.Ключові слова: патріотичне виховання, толерантність, свідомий громадянин-патріот, власний приклад, пізнання інших культур, інтерактивні методики. Viewing the political events today the article is devoted to the peculiarities of patriotic education and upbringing a sense of tolerance as its fundamental component. The need of reformatting the main approaches to patriotic education of young people today has been revealed taking into consideration growing quantity of interethnic conflicts and social crises. In this context, the emphasis should be shifted towards developing a tolerant attitude of the patriot-citizen to other citizens both within his own country and abroad, that makes possible the peaceful coexistence of people with different views on life, regardless of their religion, political views or the spoken language. Emphasis has been given to the importance of developing the sense of respect, desire to multiply and preserve the cultural values and heritage of the native country, but at the same time the sense of patriotism should not be absolute and sharpened. The article proves that the latter is a driving force in the emergence of conflicts, both multinational and among citizens of one country and nationality, that often happens because of different views on patriotism. The main factor in reconciling and preventing such conflicts is upbringing the sense of tolerance as a fundamental component of patriotic education in today’s conditions, that we define as the education of a reasonable citizen-patriot. The article emphasizes that the formation of such a reasonable patriotism should be continued throughout the educational process by all educational institutions, as well as be supported at home. It has been also stated that the best way to become tolerant is to see the true to life example, so the teacher himself must be a real patriot and a role model for students. It has been also determined that the optimal conditions for a productive educational process in this context can be created at foreign language classes: learning the culture of other people, speaking a foreign language creates an invisible touch to another world, different from their own and forms a respectful attitude to it. Understanding that our world is unique, full of different cultures, religions, languages, customs, views and that this diversity should create a certain harmony, is a way to peaceful coexistence and is defined by us as a tolerant attitude to others by a reasonable patriot. Within the study of foreign languages, special tools have been singled out, namely interactive methods for promoting the development of these personal qualities: role-playing games, preparation of joint projects and presentations, a case method, discussions in the style of tolerance.Key words: patriotic upbringing, tolerance, reasonable citizen-patriot, true to life examples, learning other cultures, interactive methods.
