В статье рассматривается этапность развития одного из шести компонентов иноязычной компетентности — словарного запасa. Особое внимание уделяется понятийному содержанию этого термина, его структуре в методическом, общелингвистическом и авиационном контекстах, акцентируется внимание на специфике развития лексических навыков в авиационном вузе. Обосновывается важность словарного запаса в общей структуре иноязычной компетентности будущего пилота. Понятийный анализ термина «словарный запас» позволяет дать ему авторскую формулировку, в полном объеме раскрывающую его специфику применительно к обучающимся авиационного вуза с учетом регистра речи. Этапами в данном исследовании выступают учебные модули, предусмотренные учебным планом и основной образовательной программой вуза. В процессе наблюдения за речевой деятельностью курсантов выявляется частотность ошибок, допускаемых при употреблении слов. В ходе проведения анализа авторы руководствуются требованиями Международной организации гражданской авиации, предъявляемыми к языковой компетенции авиационных специалистов, и определяют объем словаря, необходимого для осуществления эффективной коммуникации. The article deals with the stage-by-stage approach to the development of one of the six components of foreign language competence — vocabulary. Special attention is given to the conceptual content of the term vocabulary, its structural components, related to teaching technique, general linguistic and aviation contexts. The authors emphasize the peculiarities of the development of lexical skills at Aviation Institutes. The paper emphasizes the importance of vocabulary in the general structure of foreign language competence. A conceptual analysis of the term “vocabulary” suggests usage of vocabulary with a focus on its specific features at Civil Aviation Institutes, with regard to the register of speech. In this study, the stages are considered to be the learning modules specified by the syllabus and the principal educational program of the Institute. The process of monitoring the cadets' foreign language performance has revealed the frequency of mistakes made in the use of words. In the course of the analysis, the authors follow the requirements of the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) for the language competence of aviation specialists and estimate the vocabulary size for effective communication.

The article analyzes microgroup of terms relating to the process of second language acquisition or foreign language learning (language aptitude, interlanguage, language competence, language performance, language proficiency). The semantics of this group is analyzed and some aspects of normalization (compliance with linguistic and terminological norms) and harmonization (compliance with variants that function in English) are proposed. The difference between the terms of language acquisition and language learning is specified. The author of the article proves the idea that the acquisition of the second language is an unconscious process of producing the language, when a person implicitly assimilates speech samples and produces them intuitively. Learning a foreign language is a conscious process of producing a language when a person explicitly learns speech samples and produces them consciously. Language aptitude denotes the innate ability of a person which develops with the experience of communication, and it is a kind of mechanism that allows the mental and physiological levels to master the language. It is revealed that bilingualism (natural and educational) can be the result of different strategies of language mastering and thus there are various mechanisms for its formation. It is found out that interlanguage is a language that is characterizing a person who learns a new language, and it is the result of the interaction of language systems, rules, norms of native language and the language which is learned. It is dynamic and reflects the appropriate level of language proficiency. The relationship between terms language competence (a set of language knowledge), language performance (production and comprehension of language), and language proficiency (ability of an individual to speak or perform in a language according to the aim of communication) is determined. These terms are at the stage of entry into Ukrainian science.

Shaping and developing communication skills in non-linguistic faculties in higher education institutions remain relevant. Thus, the theoretical and methodological guidelines for training English professionally-oriented spoken production are among significant problems. Intending to overcome some related challenges, we conducted this study to investigate the efficiency of using presentational speeches based on authentic video materials. The main aim of the research was to analyze the problem from methodological and didactic perspectives and substantiate the theoretical and methodological principles of the professional training of monolingual students through the experimental verification of the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. To achieve the objectives of this study, in the first stage, we determined the efficiency of pedagogical conditions for developing the foreign language competence of students. Then we verified the efficiency of using presentational speeches in teaching Spoken Production. At the last stage, we analyzed the effectiveness of the proposed methods of forming and developing foreign language competence (Spoken Production) by using presentational speeches. The study sample included 45 students of the Sociology and Law Faculty in the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”. We obtained the results that confirmed the efficiency of the presentational speech approach in teaching spoken production. Our study revealed that the presentational speech approach facilitates enhancement in the level of students’ professional competence. These findings provide a good starting point for discussion and further research.

The article deals with the improvement of future dentists’ foreign language competence formation based on the Cambridge methods of English language teaching. Future dentists have a strong need to receive professional knowledge from foreign sources and communicate to their colleagues. Moreover the foreign language competence is an important part of professional competence. Thus foreign language competence formation of future dental specialists contains certain diversity; it is not typical for other specialties. As a result it requires thorough analysis of Cambridge methods of English language teaching in order to adapt and improve them for future dentists. On the base of own pedagogical experience this advanced methodology was designed as student-centered one and includes new improved tasks for better language competence formation. Original Cambridge methodology was also improved by implementing the new “verification” stage of the lesson. This methodology was applied at the Bologolets Nalional Medical University and has brought positive results. It will become the base of increasing level of competitiveness not only in our country and abroad as well.
