IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF EMOTIONALITY IN THE PROCESS OF LANGUAGE TRAINING OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS THROUGH DISTANCE EDUCATION: THE VIEWPOINT OF HIGHER EDUCATION ACQUIRES

Abstract

The article raises the problem of implementing the principle of emotionality in the process of language training of future specialists in the conditions of distance learning. According to the author’s observations, in the educational scientific field, the principle of emotionality is the subject of research by many scientists. The purpose of the proposed study is to analyze the results of a questionnaire of higher education graduates of various educational fields regarding the problem of implementing the principle of emotionality in the process of language training of future specialists in the distance learning format. The researcher believes that language classes are a fertile ground for the implementation of the principle of emotionality and the formation of the emotional sphere of learners, since language performs an emotional function in the process of any type of activity ‒ learning, education, development, communication, etc., and is a tool for creating positive (or negative) influence on the personality, and therefore the basis of the formation of positive emotional thinking and speech (communication). In order to achieve the goal of the study, we developed a questionnaire and conducted a survey of higher education graduates. Among the respondents are students of “Publishing and editing”, “Journalism”, “International journalism”, “TV host”, “Law”, “Ukrainian language and literature” specialties. Students were asked to answer the following questions: 1. Does the emotional background of the class have an impact on learning and the desire to get an education? 2. Are distance learning sufficiently emotional? 3. In which learning format do you get more positive emotions ‒ offline or online? 4. Name the emotions that specific activities evoke in you. 5. What is the cause of negative emotion? 6. What emotions lead to motivational activities in class? 7. What, in your opinion (forms, techniques, means of teaching), could enliven classes in the Ukrainian language in a distance format? The results of the survey showed that there is a certain discrepancy between the expectations of students regarding the implementation of the principle of emotionality in distance learning classes and the actual state of the situation. The student needs dynamic educational content that increases positive emotions in class and serves as a motivator for educational activities. A positive emotion is provided to the student not so much by the role of a traditional passive subject who is given the necessary knowledge system, but by the role of an active analyst, researcher, coach, moderator, innovator, inventor, representative. Providing a positive emotional background in the conditions of distance learning is the basis for the formation of positive thinking and positive communication, and as a result, a high level of education.
