PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRAINING IN THE SYSTEM OF SECONDARY VOCATIONAL EDUCATION ON THE BASIS OF CLIL APPROACH

Abstract

The relevance of the research is due to the need to modernize foreign language (FL) training in the system of secondary vocational education (herein after referred to as SVE) as part of the implementation of the new Federal State Educational Standards in the context of strengthening the career guidance potential of FL learning. Accentuating the FL learning professional bias in college is aimed at developing students’ FL communicative competence in situations of professional communication and also for the sake of developing students’ professional self-determination. However, the development of the foundations of professionally-oriented FL training of SVE students has not been the subject of a separate study, which determines the urgency of the presented work. The purpose of the study is to work out the content and organizational foundations of professionally-oriented FL training, based on the CLIL approach. The study identifi es principles, requirements, didactic tools and materials that ensure the students’ mastering FL professional communication and the professional self-determination of students in the process of specialized FL training in the SVE system. It has been established that the electronic educational training manual on information technology and telecommunication systems, based on the CLIL approach, developed in the course of study has proven its effectiveness. The proposed principles, stages and content of teacher and student activities ensure the integrity of educational and personality developmental aspects of professionally-oriented FL training of SVE students, parallel and simultaneous mastery of all types of speech activity in the process of solving problem quasi-professional tasks in a specialized fi eld, and can be successfully used in a real educational process in a FL class at a SVE institution.
