The Conceptual Relevance of English as Lingua Franca in Non-English Speaking Countries: Revisiting History, Policies and Praxis

The present study foregrounds background information on attitudes towards acceptance of English language and educational opportunities in non-English speaking nations from a historical and contemporary viewpoint. The relevance of ELF-informed perspectives in non-ELF-speaking contexts is then discussed, both from an educational and a business/professional standpoint. Using English as a common language globally presents an unprecedented challenge for stakeholders in the 21st century. The paper focuses on the divergent policies related to English language. It investigates several countries' status, their practitioners, and people's viewpoints regarding the widespread use of the English language and the diversity of societies and cultures. The objective is to investigate how accessible non-native speakers are to newer speakers and alternatives that might work for their working atmosphere to provide some recommendations for them. The purpose is to determine if they are willing to use more modern pedagogical approaches appropriate for their teaching environment and to make recommendations for non-native people's development programmes. Recent years have seen a rise in interest in studying English as a lingua franca (ELF), which has produced some fascinating findings regarding how non-native speakers of English interact with other non-native speakers.

IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGY OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING THROUGH MODERN PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES

Modern pedagogical approaches to the organization of teaching the ecology of sports in institutions of higher education

It is very relevant and timely to conduct an analysis of modern pedagogical approaches to solving such an urgent problem as the organization of teaching the ecology of sports in higher educational institutions (universities) that are engaged in education for the sports industry, both in Ukraine and abroad. This applies primarily to the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine and the University of Bayreuth in the Federal Republic of Germany, where sports ecology is taught. The purpose of the study: consideration and analysis of modern pedagogical approaches to teaching in higher education institutions (universities) the provisions of sports ecology for the training of specialists who would have the appropriate knowledge, skills and competences both in relation to sports and sports ecology for the implementation in practice of the provisions of the concept of sustainable development of sports, which is primarily aimed at preserving the good state of the environment in the practice of sports activities. Research methods: used methods of theoretical analysis of scientific literature: generalization, formalization, abstraction, synthesis, which are used in ecology and sports ecology. Research results and conclusions. An analysis of promising modern pedagogical approaches that can be used in the organization of teaching the ecology of sports in institutions of higher education, which are engaged in education for the sports industry, has been carried out. The prospects of applying modern pedagogical approaches to the organization of sports ecology education in higher education institutions engaged in sports are determined.
 Conclusions are made that the organization of teaching on the ecology of sports is very timely and relevant and must be implemented in higher education institutions engaged in sports. Conclusions are made that the organization of teaching on the ecology of sports is very timely and relevant and must be implemented in higher education institutions engaged in sports. Two pedagogical approaches can be used to organize the teaching of sports ecology in institutions of higher education (universities) that provide education for the sports industry. The first pedagogical approach is based on the development of interdisciplinary programs for teaching the ecology of sports (Federal Republic of Germany). The second pedagogical approach (Ukraine) is based on the teaching of sports ecology at the second (master's) level of higher education in the specialty 017 «Physical culture and sport», specialization «Sports management», profile direction «Sport ecology». The choice of a specific pedagogical approach to teaching the ecology of sports in a higher education institution can be determined by the higher education institution itself, taking into account its features and specialization. At the same time, the second pedagogical approach to the organization of teaching ecology of sports is, in principle, more suitable for universities of physical culture and sports of Ukraine than the first, as it provides an opportunity to conduct continuous environmental education.

Face to face or blended learning? A case study: Teacher training in the pedagogical use of ICT.

We are experiencing a transitional period in education: from the traditional, face to face teaching model to new teaching and learning models that apply modern pedagogical approaches, utilize technological achievements and respond to current social needs. For a number of reasons including the recent pandemic covid-19 situation, technology enhanced distance learning, seems to gain ground against traditional face to face teaching and in fact, in a sharp way. Acknowledging that changes in education need time, research and careful steps in order to be successfully applied and established at large scale, in this paper we attempt to compare face to face (“traditional”) teacher training with teacher training through a blended learning approach/ model. The latest combines characteristics of both face to face and distance learning models. The case study is based on a large-scale in-service teacher training initiative which has been taking place in Greece for over a decade to train teachers in the utilization and application of digital technologies in the teaching practice (i.e. B-Level ICT Teacher Training). The B-Level ICT Teacher Training was initially based exclusively on face to face teaching but it was later adapted to a specially designed blended learning model which combined both face to face and synchronous distance sessions, accompanied by asynchronous activities and supported by specific e-learning platforms and tools. The comparison refers to the effectiveness of the two models/ approaches, as it derives from teacher trainees’ performance, especially in the framework of the certification procedure that takes place through nationwide, independent exams that follow the training and assesses the relevant knowledge and skills acquired. Research findings point out better performances of a small or marginal scale for the teachers of various specialties who participated in blended learning teacher training programs compared to those who participated in traditional teacher training programs. Actually, it is shown that blended learning model trainees i) feel more comfortable to participate in the exams for the certification of knowledge and skills acquired, ii) have some better success rate and iii) get a bit higher grades in these exams. Thus, it can be argued that learning outcomes of the blended learning application in this teacher training initiative, overstep those of the “traditional” model in a small scale and with some slight differentiations among teacher specialties.

Education for optimized Life Cycle Management: The Project e-CIRP and its insights into embedding circular economy aspects to product design via teaching

The integration of circular economy-based life cycle management (LCM) into product design and optimisation is essential for the transformation towards a circular economy (CE). However, companies often lack the expertise to adapt life-cycle design (LCD) thinking in their business operations and are in need of respective capacity building. To close this apparent gap is the aim of the project e-CirP (Embedding Circular Economy into Product Design and Optimization) where LUT University, Fraunhofer, Technical University of Denmark, University of Padova, Delft University of Technology, University of Helsinki and Metso Outotec have worked together to develop a program that allows Master students across Europe to learn how to integrate CE and Life Cycle Thinking principles into product design by analysing real industrial cases. In the project, modern pedagogical approaches have been applied. A modular training package covering general circular economy aspects, as well as detailed value chain perspectives, has been created. Next to the content-related aspects, a great focus was also on the support of so-called soft-skills development, e.g. through international student cooperation on case studies. The paper presents the perspective of participating students as well as the cooperating companies that supplied the industry cases to allow an overview of opportunities and challenges.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND PEDAGOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF THE READINESS OF FUTURE MARITIME TRANSPORT SPECIALISTS FOR PROFESSIONAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE COMMUNICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF ONLINE EDUCATION

The broadening of the European and world space in the last years of the 21st century encourages direct contacts between state structures and social groups, provides a stimulus for cultural exchanges, scientific cooperation, and participation in international researching projects. Professional communication leads to the intensive development of society, which leads to globalization and expansion and becomes the reality of today. The formation of readiness for professional activity begins with motivation, namely: setting a goal, based on needs and goals or with a person’s awareness of the tasks. The development of a plan, models, schemes of further action is the nex means and methods of activity, compares the progress of the work performed and the obtained intermediate results with certain goals, makes adjustments. Modern pedagogical sources present various approaches to learning a foreign language, which is considered as a means of developing professional competence. At the same time, there is a lack of systematic pedagogical research on the conceptual foundations of mastering professional English using online education technologies. The implementation of online education as a tool and means for teaching and learning English (in our study “Professional English for future maritime transport specialists”) can be successful under different psychological and pedagogical conditions. We offer our own model of psychological and pedagogical conditions for the effective use of online technologies when implementing remote and mixed forms in the educational and extracurricular work of a higher educational institution. For this purpose, we summarized the experience of the Department of Foreign Languages of the State University of Infrastructure and Technologies from 2018 to 2022. Thismodelincludesthemainpsychologicalandpedagogical theories, which are the basis for the implementation of online education. The psychological processes involved in this type of educational technology are defined. The main contribution of our research is the identification of psychological barriers to effective adaptation to distance education using information technologies. We have offered practical recommendations to foreign language teachers who use this technology in educational and extracurricular processes.

Towards Developing Criteria to Evaluate the Functional Performance Efficiency of Learning Spaces

The spatial and geometric design of learning spaces plays an important role in transmitting the dynamics of learning. Recently, there has been a major milestone in effective teaching and learning methods (modern pedagogical approaches) that aim to shift students away from the traditional learning process towards collaborative, problem-oriented and independent learning. These changes required a new generation of learning spaces with different strategies and methods to adapt to these changes. This research problem lies in the huge gap between modern pedagogical methods and the spatial and geometric configuration of different learning spaces that do not meet the requirements of these methods. This article examines the impact of designing different learning spaces on learner-centred teaching and learning by understanding the interrelationships between research in architecture, learning sciences, and environmental psychology in order to achieve effective learning. As a result of the research, a set of criteria for evaluating the functional effectiveness of the research areas under consideration was developed.

ROLE POSITIONS OF THE TEACHER AS A FACTOR OF FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY OF FUTURE DOCTORS

The article reveals the influence of the role positions of "mature personality", "qualified specialist", "coach (effective student)", chosen by the teacher-doctor in cooperation with medical students, on the formation of their personal-professional (metaprofessional), professional and educational professional identity. It is stated that professional identity is a stabilizer of personal, professional, developmental educational and professional orientation of the future specialist, is a mental source of building the image of the ideal self. It is noted that in the motivational aspect and improvement of certain own professionally important characteristics and competencies, attempts to meet the socialization norms and modern requirements of the professional community, to which he a priori belongs. The formation of the student's identity in the educational institution occurs in the processes of identification of the teacher as a reference person, self-identification through imitation of his important traits and role positions, reflection of the teacher's assessments of his role manifestations. It is shown that the actualization by the teacher of certain role positions in interaction with students gives them the opportunity to self-identify as individuals, future medical professionals, effective students through the vicar's mastery of specific practical actions. Facilitation support by the teacher of students' actualization of relevant role positions promotes self-affirmation of their respective identities. It is established that in the situation of students' interaction with the teacher two groups of processes are actualized, which determine the formation of their identity: the first - self-determined - is realized as self-determination and self-construction on the basis of observation of the teacher as a model. his role manifestations on the part of the teacher, who facilitates and mentally consolidates his self-identification image.
 It is determined that the pedagogical essence of the teacher's role positions corresponds to modern pedagogical approaches that are implemented in the training of future medical professionals: the role of "mature personality" - personal approach, "specialist" - competence, "effective student" - student-centered.

PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES FORMATION IN THE STUDY OF HIGHER AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS DISCIPLINE

The article considers modern pedagogical approaches and teaching methods that are based on the principles of motivation and are able to increase the interest of students in obtaining mathematical knowledge, skills and abilities. The purpose of the study is to analyse different approaches to the formation of professional competencies in the study of the discipline «Higher and Applied Mathematics». Timing of the study: 2018 - 2020. The results of the annual testing of first-year students of Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics to determine their attitude to the discipline and satisfaction with the learning process were used as an information base. The analysis of the change in the level of mathematical training was carried out by comparing the results of the initial and final tests, which were conducted at the beginning and end of the academic year. Analytical data obtained from the results of the study involving students, suggest that the use of a combination of modern pedagogical approaches and methods significantly increases motivation and arouses interest in studying the discipline. The tendency to more thorough knowledge was observed for almost all categories of students, regardless of their level of preparation. Students, getting into new realities, begin to learn mathematical material consciously and develop the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in professional activities. Given that the learning process at the university requires constant modification of the content and methods of teaching, the importance of the teacher's personality as a factor in the development of student's personality is emphasized. Key words: applied orientation, professional competencies, higher mathematics, methods.

Method or Media: 10 Do’s and Some Don’ts for Using Media in Online Post-Secondary Education

For effective online teaching and learning there is no short-cut for good instructional design, as well as following well-established pedagogical practices. For universities in the post-pandemic era, the main challenges for delivering quality online programs are, first, to provide good access through high quality digital infrastructure, and, secondly, to assure that all lecturers are trained in modern pedagogical approaches, basic instructional design principles for online teaching, and media usage. In my own experience, following the eight QM “Quality Matters” standards, will go a long way in improving online instruction and student engagement. These standards provide a simple, proven and robust framework, even for the inexperienced to design and deliver an effective and engaging course. Universities that have consistently applied QM standards, for example, dominate the rankings for best online programs in the USA (QM 2020). Uniquely, QM offers a low-cost training program on online teaching that can be rolled out at scale for lecturers at member universities and schools, that includes all elements for developing and delivering effective online courses, including the use of media.The use of media in any course is always optional. Recent research, however, shows that the use of media, in particular asynchronous video in combination with other learning materials, can lead to substantial improvements in learning. This research found that the combination of solid instructional design and the appropriate use of asynchronous media in online or hybrid courses can be more effective than traditional face-to-face teaching, due to more focused content, and students being able to rewind thus avoiding feeling overwhelmed (Noetel et al., 2021). Finally, I offer 10 helpful pointers for developing and delivering online courses using media, for those of us who are not experienced online instructors, or instructional designers.
