Abstract

Successful communication in English as a foreign language depends primarily on the amount of vocabulary learned, which ensures speech appropriateness in a particular communicative situation and adequate perception of information. The article reveals the conditions for forming future language teachers’ lexical competence in Ukrainian higher pedagogical education institutions on the example of vocabulary denoting coronalogisms. The summative stage revealed students’ positive motivation for learning new vocabulary, while the formative one was aimed at expanding students’ range of vocabulary on a particular topic. The work was carried out in three stages: introducing new vocabulary; practicing and consolidating new material; using the target vocabulary in written and oral speech. Determining the range of students’ vocabulary, their word knowledge quality and ability to use target vocabulary at the control stage gives grounds to state the effectiveness of conditions for forming future language teachers’ lexical competence during the pandemic: using ICT and time-conditioned blended learning as a combination of traditional and distance learning.

Summary

Introduction

Competence-based approach and creating conditions for the formation of students’ appropriate competencies occupy the leading position in the restructuring of the education system. New standards of the competence education paradigm call for introducing innovative approaches and technologies in the training of future language teachers. The Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education” (Law No 1556VII, 2021) states that competencies are dynamic combinations of knowledge, skills and abilities, practical know-how; ways of thinking; professional, ideological and civic qualities; moral and ethical values that determine a person’s ability to successfully carry out professional and further educational activities, obtained at a certain level of higher education. The subject of pedagogical theory and practice is the problem of introducing a new modern competence approach in higher education institutions (HEI) and, the formation of future language teachers’ competencies. The current professional standard and the order of the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture No2736 of 23.12.2020 define personal characteristics of the teacher (emotional and ethical competency) and professional competencies (Ministry for Development of Economy, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine, 2020).
