The high requirements for training a military specialist include improving the quality of language education for students of military universities, which can be accomplished by reforming ineffective teaching methods in a foreign language. Moreover, when updating and improving existing methods and developing technologies of teaching foreign languages, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the educational institution, the closeness and isolation of the military organization. Given these features, modern methods of teaching foreign languages in military universities should be aimed at the formation of professional competence, and the development of a versatile personality, able to express their opinions competently. Formation of foreign language discursive competence in military specialists will not only effectively and profoundly acquire practical knowledge, but will also help to develop professional motivation for learning a foreign language. In order to study the ways of formation of discursive competence in students of higher military educational institutions it is advisable to: identify the essence of discursive competence, giving it the most capacious definition; determine the structure of the phenomenon under study and identify its main components; to determine the specifics of discursive competence in higher military education. Based on most definitions, foreign-language discursive competence should be developed as a pragmatic ability, selecting as a basis the skills and competencies that will be most relevant within a particular military specialty. Modern training technologies and developments, based on the basic principles of teaching a foreign language for professional purposes, can significantly improve the efficiency of the process of learning a foreign language

The concept of foreign-language education is socially and historically conditioned, therefore, scientists consider it necessary in modern conditions to rethink the purpose of studying foreign languages in higher school, to form the additional motivation for mastering a foreign language as a means of international communication. Foreign-language education differs from learning foreign languages: it covers educational values and meanings, forms socially significant qualities, has systemic nature, provides for intercultural and interpersonal communication in the process of cognitive and professional activity. Considering foreign-language education from an axiological position, we understand it as a value at the level of the state, society, and personality. We consider the relationship between state and personal values to be a condition for the effectiveness of foreign-language education that creates a system of language education. We consider acquiring the knowledge of a foreign language to be an element of functional literacy, professional competence, and the integral quality of the individual. The concept is based on integrated teaching of the language and culture of the countries concerned with the dialogue between native and foreign cultures. The purpose of such education is language teaching through culture, culture through language, the formation of homo moralis: a person with a conscience, which distinguishes between good and evil, has high stable moral principles.

Abstract As teachers of English in the military, we totally believe that today’s military should have foreign language skills and cultural expertise besides military competencies, needed to face the challenges of our present security. Foreign languages and cultural awareness can be considered ‘critical capabilities’. But proficiency in a foreign language is difficult to be acquired when you are not allotted sufficient class hours or the linguistic level of your students is pretty low. The English language proficiency training is a complex process involving time as well as human and financial resources. Each army needs literate military in foreign languages that can speak and write, comprehend oral speech or written text, in the literal and figurative forms of the language. Not being able to speak the NATO prime language of communication can be considered a real barrier for any military participant in international missions. The present study is a theoretical approach presenting some priorities in language learning education at home and abroad

Subject Matter Content

The article deals with modern views on the concept of “nationally oriented foreign language teaching”, presented in the linguo-didactic discourse of domestic and foreign scholars of the last decades. The author reveals and characterizes its evolution as one of the basic concepts of Russian and Ukrainian language education as foreign languages. It is found that they relate to the subject matter, content, and operational components of this phenomenon. There are significant changes in the views of scholars on taking into account students’ native language in teaching these languages by speakers of languages with different systems. There is a growing interest in didactic and linguistic data processing of the analysis of Chinese and Russian (Ukrainian) languages and their practical implementation. In terms of content, priority is given to culturally oriented and ethno-psychological aspects of mastering foreign language in a monocultural and multicultural educational environment. The innovative approach to this issue is also manifested in the increasing attention of researchers to the peculiarities of cognitive, mental and educational activities of Chinese-speaking students, formed by the national linguistic and methodological tradition, which is radically different from the national communicative and active lingvodidactic paradigm and needs appropriate methodological correction. Prospects for further study of the issues raised in our investigation are related to the research of a number of “new” terms in the terminological field of the basic concept of “nationally oriented foreign language learning”, as well as from the normative and codification side.

В статье проанализированы современные методы преподавания иностранного языка и обоснована целесообразность их использования в технических учреждениях высшего образования. Процесс преподавания английского языка в неязыковых высших учебных заведениях имеет определенные особенности, связанные с разным начальным уровнем языковой подготовки первокурсников; количеством академических часов, отведенных на изучение этой дисциплины; количественным составом групп; низкой мотивацией к освоению иностранного языка. Отмечено, что в учебном процессе важную роль играет мотивация, формирование которой у студентов технических вузах должно быть одной из основных задач учебно-воспитательного процесса. Установлено, что значительно повысить результативность занятия можно при условии профессионально ориентированного наполнения содержания дисциплины "иностранный язык" в технических вузах. Выяснено, что применение интерактивных технологий обучения предусматривает обращение к коммуникативному, в частности когнитивно-коммуникативному, и конструктивистского методов преподавания иностранного языка. Доказано, что использование инновационных подходов к преподаванию английского языка и мультимедийных средств обучения дает возможность студентам повысить мотивацию к изучению иностранных языков, обеспечить доступ к новым, альтернативным источникам информации, развить самостоятельную умственную деятельность, сформировать коммуникативные навыки, культурную и профессиональную компетентность. The article analyzes modern methods of teaching a foreign language and justifies the expediency of their use in technical institutions of higher education. The process of teaching English in non-linguistic higher educational institutions has certain features related to the different initial level of language training of first-year students; the number of academic hours allocated to the study of this discipline; the quantitative composition of groups; low motivation to learn a foreign language. It is noted that motivation plays an important role in the educational process, the formation of which among students of technical universities should be one of the main tasks of the educational process. It is established that it is possible to significantly increase the effectiveness of the lesson provided that the content of the discipline "foreign language" is professionally oriented in technical universities. It is found that the use of interactive learning technologies involves the use of communicative, in particular cognitive-communicative, and constructivist methods of teaching a foreign language. It is proved that the use of innovative approaches to teaching English and multimedia teaching tools allows students to increase motivation to learn foreign languages, provide access to new, alternative sources of information, develop independent mental activity, form communication skills, cultural and professional competence.

Basic Features

The article analyzes how professors and students of MGIMO-University’s School of International Relations perceive innovations in language teaching.As a synergy system, language teaching relies on selfdevelopment based to a great extent on innovations, which can be initiated either from the inside or from the outside. To identify the basic features of innovations in foreign language teaching, the authors conducted a survey of professors and students of the School of international Relations. The results suggest that for most respondents the main purpose of innovations in foreign language teaching and learning is to attain a significantly higher level of communicative competence, which is seen as feasible only if fundamentally new teaching materials and computer technologies are used. According to the survey, the success of innovations largely depends on their source (innovations ‘from the top’ and innovations ‘from the bottom’) and commitment on the part of professors and students to participate in them, the latter being often prompted by their discontent with the state of play. Innovations ‘from above’ tend to be more encompassing and affect the entire system of language education, whereas innovations ‘from the bottom concern the teaching process per se. Though the survey suggests that it is innovations ‘from the top’ that tend to be more successful, the authors conclude that language education as a synergy system adopts only non-shattering innovations that address its most vital needs, thus encouraging its sustainable development.
