Abstract

The role of knowledge of a foreign language (or preferably several foreign languages) as one of the important components of a modern successful person is analyzed in the article. A group of requirements of recruiting agencies for graduates’ skills and abilities has been identified. The first requirement is the ability to speak, the ability to communicate. The second requirement is proficiency in writing. The third requirement is related to reading skills. Attention is paid to the question of how to make foreign language classes at the university such that the student-future specialist should be competitive in the market. It is emphasized that a modern lesson should be focused, first of all, on such forms of work that teach to conduct a discussion, motivate reading and analysis of what has been read, and train to present one's point of view in a presentation. The significance of such types of speech activity, as: speaking, listening, reading, in the process of future specialists’ foreign language professional training has been deciphered. Speaking is considered to be a productive activity through which oral communication is carried out. The great role of listening for the formation of speaking skills is emphasized. Attention is paid to reading as the next important stage at a foreign language class. A group of important methodological-and-educational tasks that a teacher faces in the process of future specialists’ professional training has been singled out. They are like this: the use of articles in the learning process overcomes the existing students’ ignorance in events (including in the professional sphere) taking place in the world; the choice of articles of a professional nature that are of interest to students helps to understand the topic and motivates them to study their favourite field of science and English; the article is of great importance for replenishing vocabulary and grammatical phenomena; if the article is interesting, modern, then it stimulates the desire for discussion and it is the basis for the development of written works.
