Abstract

In this article, the authors consider forms and methods of teaching a foreign language at a technical university. Within the framework of the modular cyclic system, the academic year involves the division of the studied material into two terms, each of which includes five consecutive cycles. According to the concept of the MCTS, the cycle is a set of goals, tasks implemented in the educational process, constituting a round of eight/sixteen days of auditing and independent work, intermediate certification and control, aimed at the formation of competencies during the study of the module (discipline). The intensity, saving time of a student and a teacher, the large amount of independent work of students, the use of test technologies in assessing the quality of knowledge are distinctive features of the MCTS from the traditional form of study. The theoretical foundations of the study are derived from the analysis of works on the theory and methodology of teaching foreign languages, described in the works of A.A. Mirolyubov, N.D. Galskova, N.I. Gez. The purpose of this study is to describe the process of formation of professional communicative competencies in the study of a foreign language in a non-language university within the framework of a modular-cyclic training system, which involves a high degree of intensity of auditing and independent work, which reinforces the importance of diagnosing knowledge and skills in the process of mastering the module. Independent work of students is considered a mandatory part of the classroom work. The individual independent student's work under the guidance of a teacher is aimed at developing a skill in working with scientific and professional texts.
