One of the features of the design of the educational process in the context of the competence-based approach is that the detailed nomenclature of competencies is not fully regulated by the standard. The composition of competencies reflected in the general educational program of a particular university depends on the specifics of the university, its positioning and status and is determined based on the requirements imposed by the practice of professional activity of graduates. In these conditions, there is a need for professionally oriented teaching aids in a foreign language, which are built on the basis of the competence model of a graduate of a particular university and the content of which is developed taking into account the specifics of the content of a student's training in this educational institution.

This article belongs to the field of methodological science that analyzes the interaction of school mathematics with the teaching of mathematical disciplines in higher educational institutions, in particular, to students of pedagogical directions. The article presents two extreme points of view on modern education. The first of them perceives education as a kind of value, completely ignoring the relevance of this or that educational program. The second focuses exclusively on the market conditions of the educational program, perceiving an educational institution as an enterprise in the service sector. The authors of the article criticize both extremes, considering the educational process as a phenomenon that combines the features of both value and market phenomena. Further, in the presented work, an attempt is made to answer the question, is knowledge of only the school curriculum of mathematics sufficient for high-quality professional activity in school as a teacher? The authors of the article unequivocally answer this question - no, not enough. A number of examples are given when the knowledge of university special mathematical disciplines not only contributes to a more perfect knowledge of the taught subject in the future teacher, but is also fundamentally necessary for the formation of specific skills and abilities of the future teacher of mathematics. As examples, such mathematical sections as complex numbers, the theory of limits, the construction of counterexamples, projective geometry, etc. The work also provides links to the professional standard of a pedagogue, adopted in 2019.

The article highlights the specifics of professional activity of future foreign language teachers, which proves that increasing their competitiveness and reforming the system of general secondary and higher education in Ukraine increase the requirements for professional training of future foreign language teachers. It is stated that in the process of introduction of the latest information technologies in all spheres of activity of educational institutions the problem of formation of their information communicative competence in the process of studying in higher education institutions acquires special significance in the training of future foreign language teachers. The article describes the phenomenon of «multimedia technology» as a computer technology that allows you to flexibly manage the flow of various information. It is emphasized that there is no single approach to this phenomenon. The purpose of this article is to characterize the problem of multimedia technologies as a means of improving the effectiveness of professional training of future foreign language teachers. The author’s research proves that at the present stage the work on the introduction of multimedia in the educational process of higher education is carried out in two directions: the first is that multimedia is included in the educational process as an «aid» using traditional methods of education; the second direction involves changing the content of education, reviewing the methods and forms of organization of the educational process, building holistic courses based on the use of content in certain disciplines of higher education institutions that train future foreign language teachers. The article states that the use of multimedia by applicants for higher education, future teachers of foreign languages and ensuring the systematic use of multimedia technologies should be consistent with the didactic goals of professional training of applicants for higher education in foreign languages.

En Roumanie, l’enseignement du français langue étrangère au niveau de licence se réalise dans le cadre des deux filières: Langues et littératures ainsi que Langues Étrangères Appliquées (LEA). Initiée il y a plus d’une vingtaine d’années, la filière LEA a connu un réel succès auprès du public étudiant roumain et fonctionne actuellement dans plusieurs universités à côté de la formation littéraire traditionnelle. A travers une analyse panoramique de quelques documents de référence utilisés dans les universités roumaines (plans d’enseignement et fiches des disciplines), nous nous proposons de parvenir à une meilleure projection du cours de Pragmatique que nous assurons dans notre université, avec une sélection des contenus, méthodes et supports didactiques qui illustre mieux les principes de la filière LEA et qui offre à nos diplômés des compétences professionnelles appropriées au marché du travail actuel. Ce travail liminaire est une première exploration des fiches de formations dans lesquelles on retrouve des thèmes liés à la pragmatique. What pragmatics are we currently teaching (2017) in Romania in applied foreign languages study programmes? In Romania, French as a foreign language at the undergraduate level is taught in two study programmes: Languages and Literatures and Applied Foreign Languages (LEA). Initiated more than twenty years ago, the LEA programmes have been a real success with Romanian students and, alongside traditional courses in literature, are currently implemented in several universities. Having analysed some key reference documents of Romanian universities (mainly syllabi and course descriptions), I propose how to achieve better results in a course on pragmatics offered at the University of Piteşti. My proposals focus specifically on the selection of contents, methods and teaching aids aimed at equipping our students with professional skills appropriate to the current job market. Key words: course description; language and literature; LEA; syllabus; pragmatics.

The organization of professional training of students of a pedagogical university is realized on a competence-based approach, which requires a implementation of new methods, tools and procedures aimed at assessment educational results. The complexity of the formation and assessment of competencies is explained by their multicomponent structure and the ability to manifest themselves during students’ performance. Modern methods and tools of assessing competencies should be based on modeling situations that enable students to perform quasi-professional activity and the description of key elements of each competence domain. The purpose of the article is to develop a methodology for assessing the communicative competence of students of a pedagogical university studying at the Faculty of foreign languages. Methodology and methods of research. The methodological basis of the study was made up of: the competence-based approach and its views on new results of the educational process at the university, methods of assessing competencies (N. F. Efremova, Ibragimov G.I., Baartman L.K., Kanik M.); a contextual approach that explains the need to create educational situations that model the conditions of professional activities for the formation and assessment of modern educational results (A. A. Verbitskiy). Research methods: analysis of scientific literature, pedagogical modeling. Research results. A methodology for assessing the communicative competence of students of a pedagogical university studying at the Faculty of Foreign Languages has been developed and presented. The quality criteria for modern assessment methods and instruments are formulated (authenticity, transparency, the significance of the content of assessment materials for students, effectiveness). The author of the article develops and presents a model of an assessment method based on the analysis of video fragments of communicative situations. The procedure for modeling communicative situations that can be used to compile assessment materials is described in detail. The foreign experience of designing pragmatic tests of oral communication (Discourse Completion Task) is analyzed, ways of improving these tasks are proposed.

Currently, a very urgent problem in the university training system of students in foreign languages is the problem of designing educational and methodological complexes for classroom and extracurricular use. Analysis of this problem’s state in the context of social order allows us to note that the domestic market is insufficiently saturated with the required teaching aids. Existing textbooks differ, as a rule, either by a traditional formal approach or by a hypertrophied professional orientation and the absence of assignments aimed at independent extracurricular work. Educational and methodological complexes at the university level should be built based on communicative, sociocultural, and cognitive approaches. Raising the status of a foreign language in many countries’ education systems poses the task of creating new pedagogical, didactic, and methodological developments of conditions for improving the process of its learning. A characteristic feature of didactic aids is the versatility of their application. The structuredness of educational and methodological complexes in the form of multi-level blocks contributes to developing students of a scientific organization for the development of educational material, free orientation within the course, and the development of practical skills for performing control tasks. The main criteria for selecting material for students’ independent work are problematic, relevance, availability, adequacy, optimality of volume and complexity, the possibility of self-control and self-correction, and variability of tasks. Independent work in a foreign language in the context of cross-cultural interaction at non-linguistic faculties is an obligatory part of the educational process. The main goals are achieving an appropriate level of foreign language communicative competence and preparing graduates for an independent increase in foreign language proficiency. When planning and organizing students’ independent work in cross-cultural interaction, it is necessary to consider their readiness to perform this type of work: psychological, theoretical, practical.

In psychological and pedagogical science, professionalization is considered as a process associated with the development of the subjectivity of the individual, motivation to perform professional activities, determination of the potential of the individual in the profession, awareness of his role in the life space, setting requirements for a specialist in the chosen professional activity. The problem is stated, an attempt to solve which is made in this article: what are the directions of the formation of subjectivity of the student in the educational process of the university as a stage of professionalization? The analysis of psychological and pedagogical studies revealed their insufficiency in the perspective of consideration and analysis of the stages of formation of subjectivity of the student in the educational process of the university, which determined the purpose of the study, which consists in solving the stated problem. In the process of research, theoretical methods are used: analysis, comparison, comparison, discourse, systematization of the results of scientific research. The directions of formation of subjectivity of the student in the educational space of the university are revealed. Adaptation is followed by identification with the socio-cultural environment of educational institution, where the realization of values of the environment, the social meaning of vocational education, assimilation of traditions, norms of coexistence, communication experience (socio-professional aspects). Development of the system of Self, self-development of the student as mechanisms of formation of subjectivity in the profession, ensuring the formation of content, effectiveness, positive dynamics in training (personal-value aspect). Ensuring effective communication between the teacher and the student in pedagogical interaction with the use of modern educational technologies and the use of professionally directed situational tasks (technological aspect). A special role in optimizing the process of professionalization for the successful formation of the student's subjectivity is assigned to professional training, where, using pedagogical technologies, the necessary professional competencies are formed. The process of professionalization at the stage of university training is aimed at the formation of subjective characteristics of the teacher's personality, defined as independence and regulation of their actions in the performance of professional activities, responsibility, mobility, creativity, deep sociability, lack of conflict when working in a team.

One of the most important tasks of higher educational institutions is the training of specialists to be able to adapt to changes in their professional life. At the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the 21st centuries, some methods for developing foreign language competence, needed for their future professional activity, were created by teachers. However, the effectiveness of these methods has not been studied. This fact has aroused the authors’ interest and generated the idea about the necessity to conduct scientific research in order to identify the most effective methods of teaching foreign languages for special purposes. Methods: The given research paper is based on the analysis of Russian and foreign scholars’ scientific works covering the problem of teaching foreign languages for special purposes to the students of humanitarian professions, as well as on the basis of the results from questioning students of bachelor degree programs who study foreign languages for special purposes in the field of humanitarian professions, and also of the results from questioning teachers specializing in teaching foreign languages for special purposes. Results: In the students’ opinion, the most effective methods of teaching foreign languages for special purposes in the field of humanitarian professions are the following: discussion, ICT (information and communication technologies), and SCRUM (framework that helps teams work together, encourages team to learn through on a problem). According to the interviewed teachers’ opinion, the most effective methods are discussion, ICT, and round table. The “dilemma” method is the least effective according to the students. As for the teachers, the less effective method is CLIL (content and language integrated learning). Conclusions: The study showed some common views among teachers and students concerning the effectiveness of methods of teaching foreign languages for professional purposes, such as discussion and ICT. The effectiveness of the discussion method is explained by the fact that it allows the integration of students’ knowledge from different areas when solving a problem and provides an opportunity to apply language knowledge and skills into practice. This contributes to forming students’ ability to think clearly, to perceive information critically, to highlight the main idea and find the means and arguments to confirm and substantiate it, and, consequently, to improve the understanding of any theoretical material. The use of ICT in the educational process allows the efficiency of the educational process itself to be improved significantly and leads to new approaches and organizational forms of educational work. In fact, while preparing educational programs and creating didactic materials, special attention should be given to the implementation of ICT methods and discussions in educational activities. Nevertheless, the respondents’ subjective opinion should not reduce the scientific value and effectiveness of other methods of teaching a foreign language for professional purposes. The authors of the paper believe that methods that have not found much support from students and teachers should be studied more thoroughly and carefully. To this end, it could be recommended to organize special training seminars that would allow teachers to be informed of new methods of teaching foreign languages for professional purposes, of their particularities, and to help their active implementation in the learning process.

Актуальность исследования обусловлена многими факторами. Во-первых, в настоящее время цифровые инструменты начинают занимать значительное место в процессе обучения разным дисциплинам как в системе среднего, так и высшего образования. Во-вторых, их использование обусловлено не простым желанием педагога разнообразить занятие или сделать его более эффективным, а само состояние общества делает их внедрение в образовательный процесс необходимым и иногда, единственно возможным. Цель статьи заключается в обосновании эффективности использования современных цифровых инструментов в иноязычной подготовке обучающихся. Авторами проанализировано современное состояние исследуемой проблемы в отечественной и зарубежной педагогике и методике обучения иностранным языкам. Статья предназначена для учителей иностранных языков, а также студентов педагогических вузов, будущих учителей, для использования во время педагогической практики и в профессиональной деятельности. The relevance of the study is due to many factors. Firstly, nowadays digital tools are beginning to take a significant place in the learning process in various disciplines, both in the system of secondary and higher education. Secondly, their use is not due to a simple desire of the teacher to diversify the lesson or make it more effective, but the very state of society makes their introduction into the educational process necessary and, sometimes, the only possible one. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the effectiveness of the use of modern digital tools in foreign language training of students. The author analyzed the current state of the problem under study in domestic and foreign pedagogy and methods of teaching foreign languages. The article is intended for teachers of foreign languages, as well as students of pedagogical universities, future teachers, for use during teaching practice and professional activity.
