Организация проектной деятельности по иностранному языку в неязыковом вузе с гуманитарным уклоном в рамках учебной работы в формате «домашнее чтение» (на материале занятий по английскому языку)

Abstract

The aim of the study is to substantiate the relevance of the authors’ original methodology for organising project activities within the framework of academic work in the “home reading” format with sophomore and junior undergraduate students of a humanities-focused non-linguistic university for linguistic and professional competencies formation and development based on work with a literary text. The paper proposes a previously undescribed methodology for organising project activities within the framework of academic work in the “home reading” format, notes its didactic potential manifested in the flexibility of educational strategies that significantly increase students’ motivation to learn a foreign language, provides recommendations on the technical support of the discipline with the involvement of modern information and communication technologies (ICT). This modernised methodology is based on existing approaches to teaching this aspect, as well as on the active use of modern technologies. The methodology tested by the authors is underpinned by the integration of different formats of classroom and extracurricular work, the use of individual and differentiated learning strategies, modern ICT. The study was carried out using the material of the English language. Scientific novelty of the paper lies in the fact that it presents a specific algorithm of actions of a teacher and a student for implementing a project within the framework of organising academic work in the “home reading” format when teaching a foreign language at a humanities-focused non-linguistic university. As a result, the statement about the optimality of the authors’ methodology used in the framework of organising academic work in the “home reading” format at a humanities-focused non-linguistic university has been substantiated.
