for professional purposes.
In modern society, specialists
with abilities and skills that allow a
professional
to be more maneuverable and
successful in present conditions of market
relations, carrying out
effectively lots of labor activity, being at the same
time
quite socially adapted, is in
great demand.
The purpose of the article is
the need to determine the scientific and
practical
importance of the professional
competence of the student and teacher as
direct
interacting initiators and
participants within the educational process, its development, in
turn, is a prerequisite for the further professional formation of a
future specialist.
Prospects for the development
of education are due to both the use of
innovative
methods and technologies in
the meaningfulness of the educational
process,
and the growth of the
teacher’s professional competence [2, p. 109].
Recently,
in psychological and
pedagogical research, the issue of forming a
professionally
competent working specialist
in any area of modern production has
become
particularly relevant. Within
recent social environment, the model of sociopsychological of a
competent specialist lays the emphasis on such personality
psychological qualities as independence in solving complex
problems, autonomous
use of knowledge, skills,
discipline, a satisfactory image of one's self;
the
ability to conduct coordinated
communication, management of personal communication in a team, the
internal need for self-development.
Great importance can be
assigned to a communication process, in the implementation of one
of the important functional properties of professional competence,
namely, the one that integrates development of creative abilities,
so ingenious communication it takes place both internally and at
the intercultural level, implying the usage of a foreign language.
The new many-sided and all-around world puts forward new
requirements to a successful application procedure in 30general and
work with personnel in particular [9].
As far as a distinctive
feature of the present state of affairs in various
fields
of economy, business is the
presence of joint ventures and / or all kinds of
relations
with foreign partners, so it
is hard to imagine communication with the
personnel
without a foreign language, as
a means of communication. Almost everyone
agrees that for modern
managers, English is not a luxury, but a tool to
do
some efficient work in the
professional sphere.
The competence can be
considered as the formation of the ability, for
the
qualitative functioning of an
employee, in the field of a particular discipline applying some
special knowledge, skills, ways of thinking, awareness of
responsibility for their own actions aimed at organizing and
applying creative abilities in a professional sphere. Of great
importance in the implementation of the functional properties of a
professional and personal competence, integrating the development
of creative abilities, is the communication process [8, p.
41].
The role of personal, business
and professional communication, which is
growing in the modern world,
is manifested both in real live communication,
and
in a form of electronic
communication via email, social networks, instant or
chart
messengers and their options,
print, audio and even video messages, as well
as
internal options phone calls.
The indicated possibilities of communicative resources imply the
expansion of the external boundaries of communication to almost
global limits. That is, participants in such a wide range of
interactions need
to use a foreign language to
carry out both personal and industrial-business
communication.
Such a need entails an
increase in demand for workers in the
professional
non-linguistic spheres such as
technical, engineering, economic, which
are
able to carry out the
communication process using knowledge of a foreign
language.
User functioning of a foreign
language makes it possible to expand the
scope of the employee’s
business activity. Modern requirements put forward
to
specialists suggest modern,
innovative approaches to teaching, in particular, English[10, p.
300]. One of such approaches in teaching English may be
methodological management. The effectiveness of methodological
management is determined by its functions (forecasting, planning,
development and decision-making, organization, control accounting),
which are aimed at implementing some necessary stages of managing
activity in training [3, p. 73].
Along with the increase of a
number of foreign language users among the
future specialists right in
their professional activities, a very important issue is
the
prospect of fruitful
interaction between a foreign language teacher and
students
of non-linguistic specialties
in the field of the professional orientation of the learning
process and as a result of improving the quality of forthcoming
activities of a future specialist according to the
specialty.
So, language education on a
professional technical basis within
non-linguistic
specialties is becoming an
important component which takes part in
creating
the effective life of a future
specialist in the global multilingual and
multicultural
space of the human community.
“English plays a large role in the life of
modern students, as it is the
dominant language of international communication, trade,
cooperation and business. The development of modern IT technologies
not
only contributes to the
development of a foreign language, but also
emphasizes
its relevance [6, p.
47].
The increase in information
and communication resources in language
professional
training contributes to the
formation of a foreign language to be a
real
means of communication between
future specialists and foreign-language
colleagues.
When implementing a
functional-communicative approach, specially
oriented
types of speech activity are
developed with the aim of mastering a
foreign
language in line with the
specifics of a future profession within the framework
of
developing the professional
competence of students. Attracting a
socio-cultural
approach means the cultural
development of a future young specialist,
contributing
to building successful
business activity in the proposed conditions of
intercultural
communication, and an
indicator of the presence of such ability is an
intercultural
competence, complementing the
professional one from the position of
inter-lingual,
language-oriented professional communication in the framework
of
effective professional
activities [9].
Functional-communicative,
socio-cultural approaches and IT modern
technologies
involved in the formation of
professionally oriented competence are
focused
on the student’s personal
characteristics, self-improvement, and
development
of the individual creative
potential [5, p. 408].
Specially oriented language
training in the framework of
non-linguistic
technical, economic and other
specialties gives students the opportunity to act
in
the future as a mediator
between different languages and cultures in business
and
socio-cultural spheres, that
is, it becomes a kind of tool for the formation of
social
mobility, activity and
adaptability of a young specialist’s
consciousness.
To accomplish such a task of
social adaptation and professional
self-realization,
it is necessary to use an
interdisciplinary approach in teaching foreign
language
for professional purposes,
which is a coordinated, equivalent,
mutually
contributing interplay of
educational disciplines, combined by one whole educational and
didactic system.
Such an implementation of
interdisciplinary relations provides the basis
for
the formation of communicative
and professional competencies, which in turn becomes the key to
high-quality teaching of a foreign language in
non-linguistic
specialties [1]. For example,
when creating a work program with foreign
language
for professional purposes
teaching, it should be noted that the use of a
foreign
language of a specialty helps
to improve the professional competence of a
future
specialist, namely, broadens
the horizons in the process of obtaining
information
in a foreign language and,
accordingly, improves the quality and level of
business
or industrial sphere of
communication.
Professionally-oriented
language education in the conditions of a
non-language
educational environment is the
process of developing the ability to: use
an
additional foreign language as
a communication tool in the field of
professional
activity, taking into account
its non-language specificity; recognize a foreign language
professional culture; to build an adequate thought-out tolerant
dialogue
32 with participants in the
inter-lingual process of communication [7, p. 94].
The
implementation of
intercultural competence presupposes the ability, of
students,
to maintain a communicative
interaction in order to realize certain personal
and
professional intentions in
reality, cooperate calmly within the framework of
diverse
situational communication. So,
it is necessary to form in future
specialists
the ability to put into
practice a foreign language interpretation of the
linguistic
picture of the world and
specialty with a further direct and easy access into
the
open information and
communication space of professional activities. The
process
of combining the perception of
the world fragments through linguistically
designed
language of the specialty is
happening by means of a foreign language
as
a speech tool for a fragmented
expression of the original native and newly emerging, re-cognizable
linguistic worldview and the specialty itself within a large
communicatively designed space of modern reality
[4].
Thus, linguistic education in
the conditions of a non-linguistic
university
acts as an important
instrument for the successful functioning of a person in
a
multilingual and multicultural
community of people. In the era of the
development
of information technologies
leading to the modernization of both global and Russian education,
it is necessary to develop new effective principles for the
formation and effective coordinated implementation of
communicative-language
and professional competencies
for foreign language for professional purposes
in
non-linguistic specialties and
areas.
