Abstract

The article gives a brief analysis of the main conceptual approaches to the content development of the course language and speech culture and ways to implement them. It is argued that the process of learning requires the integration of professionally oriented and communicative approaches as an important condition for the effective formation of future specialists’ professionally-communicative competence. It is proved that the communicative and pragmatic aspects are implemented in practice only occasionally, unsystematically, despite the insufficient level of communicative knowledge and skills of students. The author proposes an original methodology of professionally oriented training course language and speech culture, which is based on interdisciplinary integration as a holistic unity of content (knowledge and skills) and procedural (experience) component, collectively providing active learning. The article emphasizes that effective cooperation of course language and speech culture with general professional and special disciplines is achieved by extracting the professionally-communicative educational main body, which includes integrative topics, integrative content and other interdisciplinary educational elements, converging course with the specifics of students’ future profession. Also some of the ways, methods, principles are described, which allow to carry out interdisciplinary integration in the classroom effectually, provide an opportunity to fully realize the metadisciplinary function of the Russian language in higher education and to subdue the process of learning to the communicative needs of future professional activity. It is proved that the implementation of interdisciplinary integration in the University course language and speech culture realizes speech training based on the trinity language-profession-identity, provides synthesis of speech, professional, and intellectual development of students, as well as acquiring knowledge of the future profession values.
