ВИКЛАДАННЯ АНГЛІЙСЬКОЇ МОВИ ЯК ГЛОБАЛЬНОЇ ДЛЯ СТУДЕНТІВ ФІЛОЛОГІЧНОГО ТА МОВНО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНОГО ПРОФІЛЮ

Abstract

The article attempts to prove the necessity of teaching English as a global language in the process of training future English language teachers and philology students. The emphasis has been placed on the importance of raising the students’ awareness about the diversity of accents and dialects among English-speaking communities in different countries of the world. It has been suggested to incorporate the theoretical and functional aspects of English language varieties into the content of the professionally-oriented subject “Studies of English-speaking countries”. One of the course syllabus sections, designed by the author, has been profoundly analyzed; some types of classroom and out-of-class activities, aimed at developing the students’ intercultural communicative competence, have been characterized. It was established that the effectiveness of foreign communication depends primarily not on the mastered foreign language forms, but on the efficiency of the students’ abilities and skills necessary for them to participate in foreign-language communication.
