The research is devoted to the scientific substantiation of pedagogical conditions and experimental verification of model of the formation of foreign language competence of students in Mechanical Engineering. The author defines the concept of “foreign language competence” as a dynamic combination of knowledge and practical skills. The term determines the ability of individuals to use a foreign language in professional, scientific activities and in social communication successfully. The research represents the model of the formation of foreign language competence of engineering students by multimedia that includes criteria (motivation, reflexive, cognitive activity, practical and technological), and levels of performance (high, sufficient, average, low). The pedagogical conditions of formation of foreign language competence comprise the interrelationship of the humanities and professional disciplines in the training of students, the vocational and academic orientation of foreign language learning, a combination of multimedia with traditional forms of studying, intensification of students’ independent work by means of distance learning. The formative experiment reveals positive changes in the levels of forming foreign language competence of the experimental group compared with the control one. The obtained results confirm the correctness of the hypothesis, according to which the effectiveness of professional training of engineering students enhances if the formation of foreign language competence is carried out with the use of multimedia and under certain pedagogical conditions.

The paper presents the model of the formation of future energy engineers’ foreign language competence, which conditionally reproduces the process of step-by-step learning of a foreign language for professional purposes and the development of practical knowledge and skills of receptive and productive types of linguistic activity under specifically created conditions due to the use of a range of specially selected didactic and methodological toolkit of informational, audiovisual and visual type focusing on project learning technologies. Based on the results of the research, its main components were determined and analyzed, and their inverse relationship and interaction were substantiated too. It was established that the developed model belongs to the structural and functional group. It was found that the structure of the model is determined by a complex of interconnected and complementary elements, which are combined into four blocks: motivational-target (goal, task, social order), didactic-methodological (approaches and principles of learning), content-processual (stages of foreign language training, pedagogical conditions, methods, technologies, forms, means of education), evaluation-resultative (components, levels), formation of foreign language competence, result). The functionality of the model is characterized by a set of properties that reveal its ability to perform a number of functions, in particular: educational, organizational, technological, managerial, cognitive, developmental, communicative, competent, controlling. The model design of foreign language competence formation for the future energy engineers was carried out taking into account the specifics of the professional training of higher education graduates specializing in the field of knowledge 14 Electrical engineering and the specifics of their future professional activities. It has been determined that the implementation of the suggested structural and functional model into the educational process of students’ foreign language learning results in the formation of a foreign language competence of would-be specialists in the field of power engineering, who are able to perform all the types of engineering activity using the relevant metalanguage in their professional environment. Keywords: model, structural and functional model, formation, foreign language training, foreign language, foreign language competence, future energy engineers, higher education applicants, education environment, knowledge.

Problem statement . The modernization of higher education is a good ground for the use of electronic resources in ensuring accessibility, continuity and quality of teaching foreign languages. The use of interactive tools (simulators, flash cards, virtual whiteboards) meets the requirements to educational training programs for students of pedagogical directions and the challenges of modern society. A flash card is a card with a word, a concept, an image on one side and a translation on the other. The study aimed at substantiating the effectiveness of the use of flash cards for the formation of foreign language competence of future teachers. Methodology . Theoretical and methodological analysis and generalization were used to determine trends in the development of language education, the inclusion of informatization tools in foreign language activities and professional communication. The online platform Quizlet was chosen to work with ready-made flash cards and to create new thematic sets in digital format. The questions for the control work grouped into two blocks “Digital educational technologies” (50 points) and “Foreign language in professional communication” (50 points) were compiled. The study involved 54 students from Vyatka State University (the direction of 44.03.05 “Pedagogical education”, with two training profiles, bachelor's degree level). Pearson's chi-squared criterion was applied at the stage of statistical processing of the results. Results . The system of working with flash cards in the foreign language professional communication of future teachers is described: the study of the Quizlet functionality, working with ready-made sets of cards, automating and improving lexical units, developing their own thematic sets. In the course of independent work and network collaboration the students of the experimental group used Flashcards, Speller, Scatter, Quizlet Live modes. Statistically significant differences in the qualitative changes that occurred in the level of formation of foreign language competence were determined. Conclusion. The use of flash cards in the preparation of students of pedagogical specialties has a significant didactic potential for the development of their foreign language competence: the effect of immersion, competitiveness and obtaining positive emotions; resources for independent language learning in extracurricular time; overcoming the language barrier in the virtual gaming environment of information interaction. However, there are some drawbacks: monotony of forms for tests, lack of opportunity to practice pronunciation, partial support of operating modes in the mobile version.

The modern visually-oriented world is the world of real and virtual possibilities due to the application of information technologies. Therefore, television and the Internet are used not only for entertainment but also for educational purposes in all the spheres of human activity including education. In didactics, audiovisuals play an important role in mastering foreign languages. The appropriateness of their use in the educational process is stipulated by their implementation facilitating all general didactic learning principles – activity, consciousness, consistency, and visualization as well. Audio and video materials are aimed at improving the perception efficiency of the program material, checking the level of its assimilation, and mastering the abilities and practical skills for application of the acquired knowledge. The aim of our analysis was an attempt to define the most basic principles for the formation of competence in a foreign language in students from non-language institutions of higher education based on the use of audiovisual teaching aids. During the study, the authors conducted an analysis and synthesis of the best pedagogical practice, generalized their observations, and experimentally verified the validity of using audiovisual teaching aids in the formation of foreign language competence of foreign students of the preparatory department and the main stage of training (1st-4th year students), and 1st-2nd year Ukrainian students of Vinnytsia National Technical University. The article clarifies the concept of foreign language competence. There have been analyzed the main methods of forming students’ foreign language competence based on the use of audio and video materials (phonetic recordings, texts recordings, audio lessons, podcasts, video clips, video films, electronic textbooks, online dictionaries, video conferences, virtual seminars, telecommunication projects). The authors have substantiated theoretically and tested experimentally the effectiveness of the use of audiovisual teaching aids and their influence on the formation of speech competence among Ukrainian and foreign students. They have proved that while using audiovisuals in the classroom one should take into account the cognitive patterns of students’ learning activities, and their readiness to perceive and assimilate the learning material. It is also important to ensure an organic combination of specific audiovisuals with the teacher’s professional skills. The creation of the foreign language communicative environment will help both optimize the training of future engineers of foreign language professional communication, and also form their professional communicative competence.

The article is devoted to the topic of school professional competence formation in future foreign language teachers, who in short period of time will come to work with children in the New Ukrainian School. The main idea of the research is to analyze the modern scientific concepts conceptual aspects of future training teachers made by domestic and foreign scientists. Theoretical and methodological foundations of professional education of New Ukrainian School teachers, the features of their professional training and formation of foreign language competence are presented by the authors of this article too. Professional competence future teachers of the New Ukrainian School is defined as an integrative value and personal-professional trait based on special knowledge and skills, the teacher’s responsible attitude to professional communication activity, his\her awareness of its motives. It provides the ability of the individual to the implementation of adequate foreign language, intercultural communication in various forms. The basic components of the structure of this phenomenon are as: motivational (value and professionally important personal qualities); language (a set of formed foreign language knowledge as a means of activating consciousness and verbal expression of thought and speech in a foreign language); speech (formation of foreign language skills - cognitive actions aimed at solving communicative tasks that require deep knowledge foreign language). The integration of multi-subject knowledge in primary general education is especially relevant, since younger schoolchildren do not have a fragmented perception of the objects of the surrounding world, but a holistic one. Integration as a phenomenon of fundamental sciences is the opposite of differentiation. Differentiation is the separation, dismemberment of something into separate separate objects, and integration is the unification of something into a single whole. In Ukraine, in the draft of the New State Standard of Primary Education, developed in accordance with the Law of Ukraine «On Education», the Law of Ukraine «On General Secondary Education», it is emphasized that on the basis of the basic curriculum it is possible to carry out full or partial integration of various educational fields, which should be reflected in the educational program and curriculum of the general primary education institution. The content of primary education is developed on the basis of a competence approach: not knowledge for the sake of knowledge, but the ability to apply it in real life. Competences are also an integrated result of the educational activity of students and they are formed primarily on the basis of mastering the integral content of primary education.

This article discusses the technology of using mind maps in the formation of communicative competence of students in foreign language education. Thanks to modern technology, it is very easy for foreign language teachers to use technological capabilities to develop their knowledge and motivate their students. One of the modern technologies is the method of using a mind map to develop language competence. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the possibility and applicability of mind maps as an effective tool for transmitting, receiving, understanding and remembering information. A foreign language based on mind mapping technology has rarely been considered as one of the leading methods for developing communicative competence. Nowadays, mind map technology seems to be the most promising, since it combines the pedagogical capabilities of the modern innovative learning process and the student’s work on the development of communication skills, the result of which is a materialized object, namely the support of the statement, which makes all educational material broad and accessible. Thus, the relevance of our research lies in the existence of a social order for the training of students capable of speaking a foreign language, and the possibility of fully implementing the formation of foreign language competence based on mind map technology. The use of mind map technology for the formation of foreign language communicative competence develops communication skills in foreign language classes, contributes to the formation of students’ communicative competencies, increases the interest/motivation of students, due to which the formation of foreign language communicative competence is carried out. at the most sufficient level. In the context of a new approach to modern education, in foreign language education in the process of developing communication skills, mind map technology has a significant impact on the formation of foreign language communicative competence of students. Mind Mapping is an innovative teaching method that helps students improve and develop their memory and create a new information processing environment through a unique learning method. Teachers should provide opportunities for students to gain experience and learn new techniques.
