Digital transformation in the key areas of social activity that the President and the government of the Russian Federation have determined as the chief development vector of this country reveals direct influence on the Russian higher education system. Its main tasks include the training of future professionals equipped with digital competencies as an indispensable resource of their competitiveness in the modern labour market. All that updates the request for conceptualizing the problem of forming students’ digital competencies from the point of view of educational theory, as well as searching for hands-on tools to improve the quality of the process under research and its results. This topical task of the education theory and practice needs an effective and consistent implementation, based on the rich experience in forming the information and communication competencies of students at different levels of the education system. To improve the efficiency of the process and results of forming digital competencies of students of various majors, we should study the phenomenon in all its versatility, clearly determine its contents and conditions conductive to its formation, define the factors stimulating the productivity of the process under research. The above-said versatility and volatility of the contents of digital competencies spark the abundance of expert evaluations and definitions that unfortunately leads to the terminological chaos. Taking support in the system-and-activity approach allows for the systematic consideration of the phenomenon under study and its pedagogical characteristics. Moreover, it seems topical to research the procedural aspect of the forming students’ digital competencies where pedagogical monitoring plays a crucial part. This research concentrates on its key features (aim, tasks, functions, and procedures) as well as the conditions for its effective implementation

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ФОРМУВАННЯ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНО-КОМУНІКАЦІЙНОЇКОМПЕТЕНТНОСТІ УЧНІВ НА УРОКАХ МАТЕМАТИКИ

To delineate and substantiate the nuances of developing information and communication competence in students during mathematics lessons, we conducted an extensive analysis of state educational regulations, including the Law of Ukraine "On Education," the New Ukrainian School Concept, the Concept of Digital Competence Development, the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education, and mathematics curriculum materials. We also scrutinized sources available on the Internet related to international educational monitoring studies and synthesized both international and domestic pedagogical experience. The study asserts that the formation of information and communication competence in students during mathematics education arises from the demands of the school mathematics curriculum. Mandatory learning outcomes in the mathematical education sector encompass requirements characterizing students' information and communication competence. The process of learning mathematics should facilitate not only the overall development of students' personalities but also the acquisition of a system of mathematical knowledge, improvement of problem-solving skills, and an understanding of the importance of mathematics as the language of science, technology, and innovation. Additionally, students should recognize the significance of information and communication technologies in effectively addressing mathematical challenges. The integrated use of information technologies in the educational process, especially in the context of distance and blended learning, contributes to the development of students' information and communication competence. This is contingent upon the methodically sound selection of educational content, didactic materials, and teaching strategies by educators. It is elucidated that the primary means of cultivating students' information and communication competence lies in the specialized system of educational tasks and examples present in school mathematics textbooks. These materials are designed to foster students' personal qualities, creativity, critical thinking, and their ability to generate and articulate their thoughts.

Teaching meteorological lexis on the basis of national language corpora

This work aims to research methods of teaching meteorological vocabulary and metaphors on meteorology using corpora of national languages. The main focus is on how corpus data can be integrated into the learning process to effectively master complex meteorological terms and expressions. The study examines various techniques and approaches to using corpora, including frequency analysis, contextual learning, and comparison with multimedia materials. The method of teaching a foreign language is based on the cognitive principle of teaching. The study of the composition of lexical units is based on the understanding and use of thinking and action means that it must be based. At the present time, the importance and relevance of the method in teaching vocabulary is explained by the assimilation of language as a means of thinking through this method. The success of the implementation of this approach in teaching vocabulary depends on the intellectual ability that students use to understand, remember and use knowledge about the lexical system of the language provided by a set of methods and efforts, as well as their lexical good mastery of the material. Currently, the need to master the skills and abilities of oral language communication for personal and professional purposes is a generally recognized fact. In accordance with the decision of the Bologna Convention, the priority task is to ensure multi-level training of specialists, including the formation of intercultural communicative competence in students, optimizing the effectiveness of contacts in a specific area and communication situation and achieving certain communication purposes.

Meaningfulness of Online Inquiry Learning

Inquiry learning has long stood the test of time over the last hundred years to maintain value in the practice of education, more so in the 21st century. ‘Introspection’ captures best what Dewey (1910/1933) illumines on reflective thinking which is vital in the teaching-learning process (Bybee & Landes, 1990; Gibbs 1988; Farell, 2008). The current literature is rich to inform on the principles and practices of inquiry learning, but with disparate findings as to its effectiveness and design of approaches, both as framework for empirical work and as pedagogical innovation. This study reflects on the Inquiry-based Learning Project (IQBLP) designed to engage students to explore Intercultural Communication Competencies (ICC) of migrants, expats, and international students. The project was designed to be fully online. Through a comprehensive and reflective action analysis using SWOT, the study found that the IQBLP is an authentic highly motivating experience for students to achieve learning outcomes and could be moderately affected by student’s mediocre or superficial attitude towards learning. It is highly potential to promote holistic development with very minimal to negligible risk when done online. It is theoretically and philosophically sound to build ICC and uncover the hidden curriculum, targeting all prescribed general education outcomes. Its risks and threats are manageable but vital to inform future directions and application across the curriculum in hybrid or in-person modality.

English Language Problems and Communication Competence of Students: The Mediating Role of Smartphone Apps in ESL Learning

This study determined the mediating role of smartphone apps in ESL learning on the relationship between English language problems and students' communication competence. Using an adapted survey questionnaire implemented electronically through Google Forms, the data was gathered from the senior high students enrolled in the 1st-semester academic year 2023 – 2024 at three private academic institutions in Davao City. A descriptive-correlational design was utilized. Mean, Pearson r, Linear Regression Analysis, and Medgraph using Sobel z-test were used for the data analysis. Results revealed that students' English language problems were moderate (x̄=2.85). Students' communication competence was high (x̄=3.59), and their use of smartphone apps in ESL learning was high (x̄=4.15). There was a significant negative relationship between English language problems and communication competence (r=-.186, p<0.001) and a significant positive relationship between smartphone app use in ESL learning and communication competence (r=.328, p<0.001). However, the negative relationship between English language problems and smartphone apps use in ESL learning (r=-.034, p=.518) was not statistically significant. Furthermore, Medgraph and Sobel's z-test revealed that smartphone app use in ESL learning had no significant effect on the relationship between English language problems and communication competence (z= -.643, p>0.01). This study contributed significant insight to the discussion of the ubiquitous role of smartphone apps in ESL learning and its implications for communication competence.

A Study on Cultural Contents in English Textbooks in Junior High Schools from the Perspective of Intercultural Communication: A Case Study of PEP Edition

As the cultural exchanges around the world become more closer, the cultivation of cultural awareness has become a need for social development. The English Curriculum Standard for Compulsory Education (2011 edition) explicitly incorporates cultural awareness into the English curriculum objectives, and good cultural awareness helps language learners to understand correctly and use the target language appropriately for intercultural communication. This paper therefore examines the effectiveness of the PEP English textbook in developing students' intercultural awareness and communicative competence through textbook evaluation, literature analysis and content analysis, in order to find out whether the cultural content in the textbook helps students develop cultural awareness, with a view to further improving the layout and design of the cultural content in the textbook, as well as providing suggestions for teachers to make better use of the cultural content in the textbook. The study also provides suggestions for teachers to make better use of the cultural content in textbooks, so that they can teach culture more effectively, thereby achieving the goal of cultural awareness development and effectively raising students' cultural awareness. The results of this study show that the cultural content set in the HRE textbooks is basically in line with the requirements and objectives of cultural awareness development in the Curriculum, but there are some areas for improvement. This study only focuses specifically on the textbooks at the junior secondary education level, selecting the content of the reading section, and does not cover all parts of the textbooks. In future studies, the research objects in the textbooks can be extended to other areas to make the research results more comprehensive and complete.
