Ленина, 33Проведено многолетнее (2008–2017 гг.) практическое исследование, в ходе которого апробирована новая модель обучения студентов-нелингвистов английскому языку в условиях аудиторного билингвизма, традиционно распространенного в российских региональных вузах. Необходимость создания данной модели обусловлена неудовлетворенностью профессионального сообщества результатами такого обучения. Статья состоит из двух частей. В первой части кратко анализируется ряд взаимодействующих экстралингвистических факторов, разнонаправленно влияющих на процесс изучения английского языка взрослыми в аудиторных условиях, в малочисленных учебных группах, под руководством преподавателя — неносителя языка, по стандартным методикам. Вторая часть статьи представляет собой описание модели иноязычной среды в едином образовательном пространстве нелингвистического вуза. Задача, которую ставили перед собой разработчики данной модели, состоит в том, чтобы не только снизить негативное и усилить положительное влияние комплекса внешних факторов, но и стимулировать студентов неязыковых направлений подготовки к изучению английского языка через иноязычную социализацию в академическом и профессионально ориентированном дискурсах. Представлены принципы организации модели единого иноязычного пространства и системы единого контроля и оценивания уровней владения английским языком. Проанализированы полученные в ходе апробации данной модели предварительные результаты, выявлены основные преимущества организации обучения по данной модели, позволяющей повысить не только мотивацию студентов-нелингвистов к изучению английского языка, но и уровень владения им.
Introduction. Personnel training for the tourism industry able to meet the challenges of its development in a particular region is one of the priorities of specialized universities. Digital technologies in a global creative economy require new approaches to the choice of training content and applied pedagogical technologies. The aim of the article is to develop and test the model of foreign language learning through the creation of professionally integrated Internet content, focused on information and advertising promotion of tourism products of the Republic of Karelia (Russian Federation). Materials and methods. The methodology is based on the comparative analysis of the data, formalized open and closed questionnaire surveys and expert assessment. A survey was conducted among 42 hospitality students of Petrozavodsk State University (Russian Federation). Results. The experimental training in group interaction creating a digital professionally oriented product stimulated the formation of digital, communicative and soft skills. Comparative analysis of the obtained data revealed a high level of development of these competencies among the experimental group students. Their indicators were significantly higher (p=0.0001) in the skill of creating a digital tourism media product and in the ability to interact in a team (φemp =3.655, p≤0.01), as well as in presentation skills for tourism product promotion in a digital environment (φemp =1.878, p≤0.05). Discussion and conclusion. The conducted research revealed the effectiveness of the author's methodology of English teaching in a professionally integrated digital environment for the development of skills that ensure competitiveness in the hospitality industry. Recommendations for intensification of teaching foreign languages in tourism through individual and group interdisciplinary digital projects are offered.
The transition to the knowledge-based economy requires a new generation of professionals with a complex set of skills and competencies. These include English language skills, which will help them to merge into the international professional community. One dimension of this challenge is finding effective unconventional approaches to mass EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching for nonlinguistic university students, to increase their motivation, interest in learning English, and their willingness to use this foreign language actively by lowering communication barriers. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of an experimental EFL teaching and learning framework, aimed at helping non-linguistic majors students to develop an English communication competence through an artificial bilingual environment. Statistical analysis and comparison of the results of the students' surveys suggest that using more unconventional activities and a strong focus on students' social interactions, interdisciplinary language activities and heterogeneity of study groups, builds students' intrinsic motivation, removes communication barriers and increases the need to use English in real life.
The relevance of this research is due to significant changes in the labor market caused by the transformation of the modern world, when the demand for professionals who can study in a digital environment, as well as carry out cross-cultural communication and interaction with remote business partners, has sharply increased. This article identifies the main difficulties arising in the process of teaching intergroup dialogue and professionally-oriented interaction to non-linguistic students and also proposes new organizational and methodological approaches aimed at overcoming these difficulties. The aim of the research is to test the experimental methods of distance teaching of dialogic speech as a means of adaptation of non-linguistic students to intergroup communication in the digital environment. Such research methods as the experiment, observation, and the method of open and closed-ended questionnaires were used. The statistical significance of the obtained data was tested with the help of the student’s paired t-test and the Fisher test. The article describes the experimental distance teaching of communication in a virtual environment simulating professional intercultural interaction. The organizational and methodological approaches elaborated by the authors give an opportunity to form an educational foreign language environment, which trains non-linguistic students in intergroup communication with remote partners. The pedagogical tools tested in practice contribute to the effectiveness of teaching students with a low level of foreign language proficiency. The materials presented in the article allow us to create new technologies of foreign language distance teaching and will be in demand by specialists in the field of higher education pedagogies.
