Purpose Of Foreign Language Teaching Research Articles

Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçe Dinleme ve Konuşma Becerilerinin Gelişiminde Filmlerin Kullanımı

The main purpose of foreign language teaching is communication and socialization. Listening and speaking skills come to the fore compared to reading and writing in ensuring communication and socialization. As no production takes place without raw materials, no speaking occurs without listening. Films are one of the most essential materials enabling the development of listening and speaking skills. The purpose of this research is to explain how teachers of Turkish as a foreign language should use films to contribute to the development of their students' speaking and listening skills. In this study, the data was obtained through document review, which is one of the methods of qualitative data collection. It has been concluded that films, which appeal to more than one sense, are fun, interesting and mirror the everyday language, are effective in providing both motivation and continuity of linguistic messages in teaching Turkish as a foreign language. This indirectly supports the development of listening and speaking skills. Key Words: teaching Turkish as a foreign language, listening and speaking skills, material, film.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ІННОВАЦІЙНИХ ФОРМ НАВЧАННЯ НА УРОКАХ АНГЛІЙСЬКОЇ МОВИ

Nowadays foreign language is not just a part of nation's culture, it is also the guarantee of student’s successful career in the future. The achievement of high level proficiency of foreign language is not possible without fundamental language training in higher education institution. Most of them in our country provide students with at least two or even three foreign languages. In the context of higher school reforming, important changes in the educational technologies of foreign language teaching are envisaged. Modern language education is also gradually being modernized, introducing a modular rating system for teaching foreign languages. Interdisciplinary integration, democratization and economization of education determine the manifestation of innovative components in the teaching of the foreign languages. All this requires the formulation of the new claims for teaching and a foreign language teacher in the Free Economic Zone. At the current stage of society development, the purpose of foreign language teaching in higher education institutions is students' mastering of communicative competencies that will allow them to implement their knowledge, skills and abilities to solve specific communicative tasks in real life situations. The introduction of the new effective methods of foreign language teaching in the process of preparing students of humanities and technical specialties has become not only desirable but also necessary. Innovative orientation requires teachers to master and apply the pedagogical innovations, as well as stimulate the search for new forms and methods of educational process organization. High-quality language training of students is impossible without the use of modern educational technologies. The most effective are the professionally-oriented foreign language learning, the project work in teaching, the application of information and telecommunication technologies, the work with educational computer programs in foreign languages (multimedia system), the distance technologies in foreign language learning, the use of Internet resources, the foreign language teaching in the computer environment (forums, blogs, e-mail, etc.). Nowadays, the methodology of the use of computer programs is being developed actively getting more used. Computer programs offer ample opportunities to improve the process of foreign language learning, increasing its efficiency. The computer program provides the perception of information through auditory and visual channels, so it also allows you to organize teaching and control the foreign language acquisition in different modes of independent search and at different levels of complexity. Foreign language teaching means are important to ensure the full and effective organization of students' learning in the classroom to master foreign language activities.

Проблемы преподавания иностранного языка для профессионального общения в аграрном вузе и пути их решения

Foreign language teaching for professional communication in an agrarian university is carried out on the basis of one of two approaches: a) foreign language for specific purposes and b) content and language integrated learning. The purpose of foreign language teaching within the framework of a foreign language for specific purposes is the mastering of professional vocabulary by students and teaching translation of a professional orientation text. Content and language inte-grated learning aims at a) the development of students’ foreign language communicative compe-tence in the professional sphere of communication and b) teaching a profile discipline in a foreign language. Depending on the choice of a methodic approach to teaching, the content and methods of teaching, the requirements for teaching materials and the competence of the teacher of a foreign language will change. Based on the analysis and generalization of the experience of the Voronezh State Agrarian University named after Emperor Peter the Great, the main problems associated with foreign language teaching for professional purposes in an agrarian university are considered. We identify four such problems: 1) different levels of students’ proficiency in a foreign language; 2) teaching materials in a foreign language for professional communication are developed on the basis of a foreign language for special purposes; 3) the selection of the subject content of teaching is not carried out taking into account the intradisciplinary specialization of students of a specific training profile; 4) a foreign language teacher is not always competent in the field of the students’ profile specialty. We discuss each problem in detail and offer possible solutions.

Cultural-Linguistic Aspect of Teaching and Learning Spanish Colour Idioms and Symbols

The article argues that idiomatic competence should receive considerable attention during the process of foreign language acquisition because of the modern processes of European integration, which are putting forward a priority task for technical education and some fields of humanitarian one – training the future specialists to function professionally under the conditions of multicultural environment. Thus, the main purpose of foreign language teaching is to form the understanding of all psychological peculiarities of another national culture representative. The main objective of this article is to show the effectiveness of the acquisition of foreign language skills in the unity of language and culture, that was proved on the basis of the results obtained during the experimental Spanish training of 1 and 2 year students of Odessa National Polytechnic University in 2018-2019 academic year. The object of the experiment is the linguistic units denoting the colour spectrum in Spanish. To optimise the training process the corresponding verbal-oriented stages were outlined. The process of teaching Spanish idioms related to colour contains three stages. The first stage considers units whose cultural and linguistic fields coincide. The second one concerns more complex units denoting the shades of colours, which are formed in different ways in the compared languages. The third stage represents the Spanish phraseological units, whose metaphorical meanings are both far from the direct one and logical assessment of the relevant notions. The units of such kind should be taught successively by gradually increasing their complexity.

Формирование профессиональной межкультурной иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции студентов направления подготовки «Агроинженерия» в условиях интегрированного предметно-языкового обучения

The work is devoted to determining the purpose of professional foreign language teaching to students of an agrarian university in the conditions of content and language integrated learning. Based on the study of the history of the issue of determining the purpose of foreign language teaching at different stages, it was concluded that the main result of teaching should be the development of students’ professional intercultural foreign language communicative competence. This type of competence in work is understood as the ability and willingness of agrarian university students to use a foreign language as a mean of professional communication with representatives of different countries and cultures, taking into account the specifics of intercultural interaction, as well as a mean of cognition and professional development. Structurally, intercultural professional foreign language communicative competence includes three blocks: professional, intercultural, and foreign language communicative. Foreign language communicative competence represents the ability and willingness of students to use a foreign language as a mean of communication, cognition and development. It will reflect the professional orientation of teaching and include linguistic, speech, sociocultural, strategic and educational-cognitive components. Intercultural competence represents the ability and willingness to interact with representatives of different countries and cultures, aimed at establishing professional intercultural contacts, resolving conflict situations in the field of intercultural communication, and achieving the goals of intercultural interaction. All these three blocks of professional intercultural foreign language communicative competence exist separately only for descriptive purposes and are in close interconnection with each other. We also consider professional foreign language communicative competence as a level category consisting of value-motivational, cognitive, communicative and reflective components. Each of the components is described in detail.

СОДЕРЖАНИЕ КУРСА «РУССКИЙ ЯЗЫК В ДЕЛОВОМ ОБЩЕНИИ» В СВЕТЕ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИЙ О ЦЕЛИ ОБУЧЕНИЯ ИНОСТРАННОМУ ЯЗЫКУ

The article justifies the necessity to edit the content of the course “Russian Language for Business Communication” concerning the revised conceptions of the purpose of foreign language teaching, which nowadays is considered not as acquisition of a foreign linguistic system but as development of foreign language communicative skills. Such an approach presupposes emphasizing a pragmatic component in the business Russian course content for businessmen; it is conditioned by the necessity to teach flexible verbal behaviour, which is a basis of successful communication. From this viewpoint, the author examines the basic components of the business Russian course content - knowledge, skills being developed and speech material.

Лингводидактический потенциал комплексного задания «Диктоглосс»

Teaching a foreign language is aimed at the formation of foreign language communicative competence. The purpose of foreign language teaching is the development of speech skills. The methodology of foreign languages teaching continuously searches for new forms of work that increase the productivity of the process and have a large linguodidactic potential. For many years teachers has used one type of work at foreign languages lessons – a dictation. Dictogloss is dicta-tion with more ambitious goals, develop not only writing, but also speaking, reading, listening. The analysis of the Model Foreign Language Programs for Schools shows that it is necessary to develop exercises that help in the shortest possible time to develop as many speech skills as possi-ble, increasing the productivity of the process of foreign language teaching. So we study a number of research of both Russian and foreign authors on dictogloss and derive on their basis the dictogloss technique in stages and a variety of this type of work. We present: 1) the definition of dictogloss; 2) the main stages of its implementation (preparation, dictation, processing, analysis and correction); 3) the dictogloss types; 4) the great linguodidactic potential of the dictogloss, ex-pressed in the application of students' lexical and grammatical not separately, but in a complex for solving practical speech tasks.

Article history Received: 9 October 2017 Received in revised form: 7 December 2017 Accepted: 15 February 2018 Available online: 5 April 2018 Abstract. When learning a foreign language, including English, the issue of correct pronunciation should have a clear statement from the start. Without the correct pronunciation, the manifestation of the language communicative function is impossible. The initial stage of training is especially important, because at this period students often imitate sounds, which, at the subconscious level, helps them to get the necessary skills of articulation. The purpose of the article is to stress the importance of studying the phonetic features of the Ukrainian and English languages sound systems based on the experience of the authors of this article and certain theoretical conclusions. Teaching foreign language pronunciation is a difficult task in itself that does not only require good knowledge of the phonetic system of the language taught but also of the mother tongue, since their comparison allows to predict the typical mistakes of those who study a foreign language and to overcome possible difficulties encountered in the learning process more effectively. When choosing the pronunciation option, it is necessary to take into account the purpose of foreign language teaching, the students’ needs and their personal and social identity. Due to the fact that the number of hours allocated to studying a foreign language at non-linguistic faculties of higher educational establishments in Ukraine is not sufficient for the qualitative mastering of all the competences of the English language (lexical, grammatical etc.), the issue of pronunciation is often receded into the background. Much work of considerable interest has been completed aimed to optimize the foreign language teaching process on the basis of the comparative analysis of the native and learned languages. In order to determine the level of pronunciation skills of the first-year students of Geology and Geography Faculty, the English language phonetics level test was held in the first semester of 2017. The students were asked to read certain words aloud, paying attention to intonation and articulation. The test results showed that 100 % of the students made pronunciation mistakes. Therefore, when learning a foreign language, we should comprehensively take into account students’ opportunities and the problems connected with their acquired knowledge and skills to prevent unconscious learning, and at the same time, trying to ensure that the operational side of the language learning is worked out quite clearly, which can allow the practical aspects of language proficiency to be actualized. Thus, both the students and the teachers will feel more confident when the process of training is productive. Declaration of Conflicting Interests .

Zur Klassifikation der Wortarten im Koreanischen

Summary The present paper deals with a classification of the parts of speech of the Korean language giving priority to syntactico-functional and distributional criteria, which is considered as useful for the purpose of foreign language teaching. Primary syntactic functions of the different word classes have been determined and the question of conversion (change of parts of speech) as well as entering of equivocal (homonymous) words or word forms, both of the same origin, into different word classes according to their different syntactic features has been discussed. Furthermore, correlations between syntactically defined word classes and their morphological features have been specified. As first step, lexical items have been divided into word classes having sentence value and not having sentence value, respectively. As second step, word classes lacking sentence value have been divided into those capable of functioning as an independent member of sentence and those functioning mainly adjunctionally as constituent of a member of sentence, the former as to their primary or prevailing syntactic functions (i.o. predicates, „actants“, „circonstants“) being subdivided into verbs, nouns and adverbs, respectively, and the latter consisting in adjectives (modifiers). Word classes endowed with sentence value consist of interjections and modal words.
