LINGUISTIC TRAINING OF FUTURE MARKETOLOGISTS BY THE MEANS OF CASE-TECHNOLOGY

The article is devoted to the use of case technology in the course of the discipline “Foreign Language (for Specific Purposes)” with students of speciality 075 "Marketing" DSAU. The significant developmental potential of this subject and its role in solving many educational and upbringing problems has been proved. The importance of an individual approach to education in general and especially to learning a foreign language, which is about self-discovery and finding the right solution on your own is highlighted. The definition of case technology is proposed, the advantages of using cases in practical classes are proved, since case technology allows bringing speech activity closer to real communication, gives students the opportunity to creatively apply the studied language material on the basis of their professional knowledge, motivates students to speak a foreign language while solving problems. The use of the case method will be most effective if the selection of material takes into account the special, professional, age and other interests of students. The case method is perfectly adapted for use in foreign language classes, as this type of work combines all types of language activities: reading, speaking, writing, and listening. It is noted that case technology is an effective means of motivation to learn a foreign language, allows you to quickly and effectively model situations of intercultural communication, develops such skills as cooperation and mutual understanding, helps to prepare a creative personality capable of thinking creatively and making decisions independently. The cases allow students to demonstrate linguistic independence, implement and improve their communication skills, and improve lexical and grammatical competence. The types of cases are considered, certain difficulties observed in the use of cases in the training of future marketologists are identified. The preparatory work that a teacher does when selecting cases is outlined. Examples of the case that was considered in a practical foreign language class is given.

The use of case technology in the study of the discipline «Spiritual-moral and civil-patriotic education of students» with students of a pedagogical profile

Introduction. Modern socio-economic realities have actualized the issues of spiritual and moral education in the process of professional development of students of Russian universities, including the problems of content, the hierarchy of spiritual and moral values of students, their pedagogical regulation by adequate methodological means. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the effectiveness of case technology as a way of designing and solving problematic moral situations in the study of works of Russian classical and modern literature within the framework of the new discipline "Spiritual-moral and civil-patriotic education of students". Materials and methods. The methods of questioning, qualitative analysis of statistical data, written survey in essay format were applied. The survey involved 40 respondents from among the first-year students of the direction «Pedagogical education (with two training profiles)» of the Philological Faculty of the North-Eastern Federal University. Results. It was revealed that universal human values are most important for respondents: «life» (82.5%), «human rights and freedoms» (80%), «dignity» (32.5%), «strong family» (25%), «humanism» (20%), «mutual assistance and mutual respect» (20%). The least significant sociocentric values in Russian culture are «service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its destiny», «unity of the peoples of Russia», «collectivism», «historical memory and continuity of generations», «patriotism». The use of case technology made it possible to change the hierarchy of spiritual and moral values of future teachers of the Russian language and literature: at the final stage of the pedagogical experiment, universal values remained a priority for students, however, sociocentric values in the process of studying the course «Spiritual, moral and civil-patriotic education of students» became more significant than at the initial stage of the study. Conclusion. In scientific research, there are different approaches to determining the list of spiritual and moral values that are relevant for today's generation of students; it is possible to transform the hierarchy of these values in the context of the changing realities of the socio-cultural sphere of the country. The choice of values within the framework of the academic discipline is carried out primarily by the teacher, taking into account the peculiarities of the spiritual and moral environment of the university and the student target audience. Regulation of the hierarchy of spiritual and moral values of students is most fruitful with the use of problematic, student-oriented approaches to learning and dialogization of training sessions. These requirements are best met by case technology. As the main content for the development of cases in teaching students - future teachers of the Russian language and literature, works of art of a small genre by modern authors should be used.

Case–Study as One of the Innovative Educational Technologies and Its Use in Biology Classes

Today, the Ukrainian education system is undergoing important large-scale transformations. Students of modern schools are required, as the main result of education, to master a set of universal learning activities that allow them to set and solve the most important life tasks that they may face directly in adult life. So, for example, in relation to different sections of biology, students must understand: what the subject teaches them, why they need biology, how the studied concepts are related to practical tasks and everyday life.
 In this regard, a new approach to the construction of the content of education, as well as to the use of modern educational technologies of learning, is envisaged. As you know, one of such effective technologies is life-situational learning using the case-study method. Active use of case-study in education began relatively recently, and now this approach has become one of the most effective learning technologies. This method confirms the didactic significance and relevance of the use of case technology in the process of teaching biology as an effective means of increasing students' biological knowledge. Teachers highlight a number of advantages of the case-study compared to traditional teaching methods: practical orientation, interactive format, development of soft skills of students. Scientists have developed several classifications of cases. But, despite the variety of cases, they all have a typical structure, which includes: a plot part, a methodological part, and an informational part.
 The article examines the features of the case-study and the possibilities of its application at biology lessons. Samples of cases from the "Human Anatomy" course are also offered.

Case Technology in Teaching Professional Foreign Communication to Law Students: Comparative Analysis of Distance and Face-to-Face Learning

Foreign language speaking skills need much practice in order to be improved, which is why it is essential to use different teaching techniques to instruct students effectively. The multiplicity and multitasking of the foreign language teaching process requires the introduction of technology that ensures consistently effective results of professional foreign language learning, i.e., case technology in the algorithmized educational process. The conducted research contributes to the issue of case technology implementation—the algorithm of professional task solutions, aimed at improving students’ English-speaking skills—in teaching professional legal English. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of case technology in the improvement of ESP speaking skills in the course of distance and face-to-face learning. Comparative analysis of the distance and face-to-face format of case technology implementation in teaching professional foreign communication to law students was carried out in the course of the two-semester study conducted at SPbPU (N 120) in the period from January 2020 to July 2021. Mixed qualitative and quantitative methods were applied to collect and analyse data for the study. The results of the study showed that, for such assessment criteria as task completion, discourse competence and meaningfulness, the use of case technology in a face-to-face format was more effective than the one carried out on-line. As it can have some pedagogical implications on the improvement of English-speaking skills while teaching professional legal English at university, additional effort should be taken to ensure the effectiveness of case technology in the course of distance learning.
