Teamwork як інструмент розвитку іншомовної комунікації у немовних закладах вищої освіти

Abstract

The article considers the main aspects of teamwork as a tool for the development of foreign language communication in non-linguistic higher education institutions. It has been proven that working in pairs contributes to the development of students’ communication skills, as they actively interact with each other, discuss problematic and controversial issues during the task. It is indicated that when working in a group, on the one hand, the student acquires social skills and qualities necessary for working in a team, and on the other hand, wider opportunities for personal self-expression open up to him. Working in a psychologically comfortable atmosphere within a small group that learns more easily overcomes the language barrier. It was concluded that the formation of foreign language communicative competence of non-linguistic university students is purposefully carried out in practical foreign language classes with the use of a wide range of methods and technologies aimed at the development of effective communication skills and abilities, which is the key to successful professional activity. It is indicated that the main advantages of group work are social interaction, a high degree of focus of the educational process on students, as well as educational autonomy. As a result of interaction in society, students can speak the language material they need to learn in the presence of other members of the group, which contributes to the formation of the discursive component of foreign language communicative competence to a greater extent than speaking about themselves during individual work. Due to the fact that in team work, the educational process is more focused on those who study, and they receive greater autonomy, they can be more creative in solving any educational tasks, because they feel less restricted in the environment of their teachers and freely express their ideas.
