Introduction. This study is devoted to the problem of developing research competence in Don State Technical University who study according to an individualised learning model, using project-based learning tools. The development of research competence, being a pressing issue in modern education, is closely linked not only to questions of its organization in higher education institutions, but also to the pedagogical conditions created in higher education. Objective. Analyze the process of developing research competence in students following individual educational trajectories using project-based learning and to prove that the educational environment, in conjunction with project-based learning, allows students to develop research competence in the process of learning a foreign language, comprehensively combining language practice and research skills. Materials and methods. Theoretical, empirical and statistical research methods were used in this work. Among the theoretical methods, we can highlight the analysis, synthesis and classification of pedagogical works on the research problem; among the empirical methods, we can highlight questionnaires, tests, and experiments. Several methods were used to diagnose the components of research competence, including the motivation diagnosis method by S. A. Pakulina and S. M. Ketko, the learning motivation method by A. A. Rean and V. A. Yakunina, and the method for studying learning motivation in higher education by T. I. Ilina, among others. Results. This study examined the influence of the educational environment on the formation of research competence in students using the project work method in the process of studying the discipline "Foreign Language". The project work method was tested on students at T-University DSTU with positive results, confirming a high degree of research competence formation under the proposed conditions. It should be noted that the study is not complete; further study of the T-University student results of the focus group is planned, as well as a comparative analysis with students studying in a classical educational environment. Discussion. The project method, integrated into individualized learning modules, contributes to the development of critical and creative thinking, learning autonomy, and independent learning and cognitive process skills in students. This builds skills in students that they can use for education and self-education throughout their lives. This flexible approach to learning opens up new opportunities for students, boosts their motivation to study, and makes them more active in achieving their goals in the form of a specific result, a project.

The article analyzes the concept of "competence", "research competence", outlines that the components of research competence of students are: knowledge, abilities, skills, abilities and experience of research activities. Based on the analysis of scientific and methodological literature, it has been determined that research competence is the ability of participants in the educational process to perform tasks involving modeling and research of physical and astronomical phenomena and processes using specialized software environment. The study focuses on the possibilities of information and communication technologies (ICT) for the formation and development of research competence of students in the study of physics. The authors analyze the possibilities of the Stellarium software environment and present an algorithm for using a virtual planetarium to develop research competence in the study of astronomy. For educational purposes, Stellarium is used to form ideas about the apparent annual motion of the Sun and the motions of the planets; to determine distances to celestial objects; as an interactive multimedia for understanding and motivating students in the study of astronomy, etc. Given that one of the important tasks of modern astronomy is the study of exoplanets, the authors describe the method of studying the planetary system TOI 700. The proposed algorithm for the study of exoplanets can be used by subjects of educational activities as didactic material for creative and individual educational and research tasks.

The article examines the means of research competence formation in university students during Business Foreign Language classes. The means of research competence formation through the developing of its key components such as methodological literacy, analytical skills, critical thinking skills and communication skills have been outlined. The development of methodological literacy is seen as a multifaceted process involving the study of the theoretical underpinnings of research, the practical application of methods, the development of critical thinking and data analysis skills. Analytical skills – the ability to process and interpret information – are considered necessary for a deep understanding of language, the effective use of new knowledge and its integration into different contexts. It has been noted that analytical skills help higher education students not only to learn grammar and vocabulary, but also to apply knowledge in real-life situations, to draw logical conclusions and to structure educational information. The development of critical thinking skills is observed as an important element in the successful acquisition of both language and analytical skills. They can be formed by integrating different tasks that encourage students to analyse, evaluate and argue. The development of communication skills is facilitated by the active practice of different formats, with the opportunity not only to learn business vocabulary, but also to master effective strategies of interaction in a work context. The means of developing research competence and its key components in Business English have been indicated. They are discussion of current office work issues, analysis of authentic business texts, translation and interpretation of business documents, presentations (reports), research projects, writing abstracts and business letters.

The article covers the issues related to the implementation of the competency approach in the training of future professionals in the hospitality industry, tourism and international business to make them fully equipped for professional activities by developing their critical thinking skills while forming the foreign language competency. Findings of the domestic and foreign research on the definition of critical thinking, determination of its role in professional activities, characteristics and main components show that it plays a crucial role in a wide range of domains, hence, has to be properly developed to enhance competitiveness of the graduates on the local and international labour markets. The role of a foreign language as a stimulating factor for the development of critical thinking skills is significant, and it is possible to make a conclusion that studying a foreign language is more beneficial in comparison with the mother tongue in these terms. Therefore, the goals of the curriculum should not be limited to but go beyond the linguistic factors for the development of critical thinking skills by analyzing reliable foreign sources of information and applying relevant teaching methods and techniques. There is a perfect match between particular critical thinking skills, teaching methods and techniques used in the foreign language classes and intended learning outcomes, which can be justified by the given examples of application of the specific critical thinking skills in educational and professional activities. These teaching methods and techniques include a wide range of activities, e. g. case studies, brainstorming sessions, discussion and debate, making individual and group presentations and projects, writing different types of essay and business correspondence, etc, which help not only develop students’ foreign language competency but improve their global skills like collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. All these activities, if managed properly and followed up by the appropriate feedback, can make a great contribution to enhancing internal drives of the students in regard to their self-actualization, which is crucial for development of critical thinking. Finally, a number of recommendations for the development of critical thinking skills while forming the foreign language competence for the effective training of experts in the hospitality industry, tourism and international business have been outlined. The main recommendations include active use of openended questions and limitation of the closed ones; regular brainstorming sessions; allocation of the sufficient amount of time for the activities involving critical thinking; motivating students to disagree, find counterarguments, reach a compromise and take unbiased decisions; and making critical thinking a part of the learning environment, not just an activity. Such an analysis of critical thinking and the peculiarities of its development might contribute to the more effective application of the teaching methods and techniques in the foreign language classes and boost both critical thinking skills and development of the foreign language competency.

Introduction. The formation of universal competences (flexible skills) is an imperative of the modern education system, while foreign language proficiency is one of the key competences of a modern specialist. A foreign language as a subject has great potential for the interconnected development of both subject and meta-subject, universal competences. The research purpose is to analyze the textbooks and online courses that are actively used by university teachers and evaluate the structure of tasks used and their potential for the interconnected formation of intercultural competence and soft skills. Methodology and methods. Twenty-one teachers of Petrozavodsk State University took part in the survey. Criteria based on the framework of intercultural competence and soft skills were developed to evaluate learning materials. Based on the proposed criteria, six groups of tasks were identified that contribute to the interconnected development of intercultural competence and flexible skills (culturological materials; tasks for critical thinking development; tasks for information analysis and interpretation; tasks based on students’ experience; tasks for generating one’s own ideas and products; tasks for the interaction (in pairs, groups) and creation of a joint product). Results. The study showed that 85.7% of foreign language teachers of Petrozavodsk State University (Russian Federation) agree that the development of intercultural competence and soft skills is possible and necessary. However, only 42.1% of the respondents are satisfied with the quantity and quality of tasks offered in textbooks. Moreover, all respondents use additional tasks and 95.2% do it regularly or often. The analysis of the textbooks confirmed that the respondents have reason to be dissatisfied with the quantity and quality of tasks. Only 19%-25% of the tasks offered in textbooks and/or online courses can be used to develop universal competences and intercultural competence. A more detailed analysis of the tasks revealed that the least presented were tasks for creating one's own product (individually) and group tasks for creating a group product. Conclusion. The results obtained allowed to develop a classification of tasks to be used in foreign language classes at a university for the interconnected development of subject and meta-subject competences. The formulations of tasks for achieving integrated results in foreign language education were proposed.
