Abstract-Social and economic changes that have taken place in the country in recent years make new demands on specialists in various fields of knowledge, and economists are no exception. The English language study plays a major role in forming professional qualities of future economists. The implementation of the tasks requires the use of various methods in teaching English to students of economic departments, but the main methodological innovations today involve the use of interactive teaching methods. The article describes practical examples of using the most popular interactive teaching methods (role play, brainstorming, case study, discussion) at the English language classes with students of economic departments. The authors come to the conclusion that the use of interactive methods in teaching a foreign language to future economists helps to organize an active interaction of all participants of the communication process which results in the exchange of professional information in a foreign language and the acquisition of professional qualities and practical skills of business communication.
The article is devoted to the means expressing the concept of space in the Russian and English languages; the concept of space is viewed with concern to its national and cultural peculiarities of perception. The focus of the issue is the semantic structure of the lexical units with the meaning of extension on the horizontal axis in the Russian and English languages (далеко, близко, far, close and others). The semantic structure of the analyzed lexical units is considered in terms of a hierarchy of categorical, integral and differential semes. The categorical seme 'spatial extension' is realized through integral semes 'nature of extension' and 'nature of orientation' which are represented by set of differential semes. The article analyzes the results of existing researches in this area. The analysis of factual material allows to draw conclusions about analyzed problem and to compare these results with the work of predecessors. The analysis of semantics shows that concept of extension on the horizontal axis has much in common both in the Russian and English languages but for the Russian and English native speakers there is certain ethnic differentiation typical of national linguocultures as far as perception of space is concerned within the aforementioned lexical systems. National peculiarities of space perception make themselves evident in the fact that representatives of the Russian linguoculture have «unrestricted» space perception, but for the British one it is important to provide clear borders and the structure of space.
The article considers the competence-based approach as one of the tools for the modernization of secondary vocational education system. Historiography of the study is analysis of this approach from the point of view of psychology, in the socio-cultural aspect, as well as from specific competencies formation viewpoint. The implementation of new approaches to teaching foreign languages in vocational education is one of the strong requirements of the new Federal Educational Standards. These approaches help to achieve the main goal of teaching foreign languages-the formation of a language personality capable to carry out verbal and written communication in multicultural environments. The key educational competencies are listed and characterized: valuesemantic, general cultural, educational and cognitive, informational, communicative, social labor, self-improvement. The example of the tructure of the training session in the context of competence-based approach is given. It was determined that the competence-based approach makes the process of foreign languages learning more practice-oriented, contributes to the formation of the competences necessary for foreign communication, formation and development of the intellectual and creative potential of students. Thus, the development of all competencies enables a specialists to freely enter domestic and professional communication.
The article analyzes the linguistic peculiarities of the spatial representation of the concept of power in such types of institutional discourse as economic and legal. The interrelation of space of power which is thought as a category and the various discursive practices correlated with different spheres of communication is considered. Specification of representing the category of power is demonstrated through semantic analysis of dynamic prepositional group. Within the research, new constitutive components of the given discourses, text-forming units and components of the text are revealed, new interpretations of elements of the discursive structure and semantics are given. The examined group of dynamic prepositions undergoes derivational transformations presented in a generalized model of semantic modifications.
