Peculiarities of Structural and Functional Model of Professional Foreign Language Training of Future Software Engineers

Abstract

This article discusses the structural and functional model of professional foreign language training of future software engineers on the basis of integrative approach. For this purpose, the method of pedagogical modeling is applied. In scientific literature, there are numerous definitions of the term «model», and the article presents a brief description of the most prominent ones. Moreover, the actual research examines the concept and basic characteristics of the method of pedagogical modeling and its relevance for the chosen topic. It is concluded that pedagogical modeling assists in outlining the structure, components, functions and stages of the professional foreign language training of future software engineers and helps to see the interrelations and interdependence between its structural parts.
 The article outlines five structural components of the model of professional foreign language communicative training of future software engineers. These are purpose, content, activity and communication, control and regulation and result components. All of them represent a whole and complex structure of the proposed methodology of professional foreign language communicative training of future software engineers on the basis of integrative approach. The article provides a description of each of blocks and concludes on their relevance in the implementation of the experimental methodology. Moreover, the depicted model provides an insight into stages and methods of organization of the above-mentioned process in the system of a learning process of future software engineers.
