INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSIONAL FOREIGN LANGUAGE COMPETENCE FOR NON-LANGUAGE SPECIALITIES STUDENTS

Abstract

In the course of the study, the author conducted a theoretical analysis of the problem of developing professional foreign language competence among students of non-language specialities in the context of modern higher education. The relevance of the study is determined by the processes of globalisation, internationalisation of the educational space and the growing role of foreign languages as a tool for professional activity, intercultural communication and academic mobility of future specialists. The purpose of the article is to justify the feasibility of introducing an integrative approach as an effective methodological and methodical means of forming professional foreign language competence among students of non-linguistic specialities. The research methodology is based on the provisions of competence-based, integrative, activity-based and personality-oriented approaches. The work uses methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis, generalisation of scientific sources, pedagogical observation and self-reflection of professional experience. The analysis of scientific sources has established that the integrative approach ensures the integrity of foreign language training by combining linguistic, professional, sociocultural and personal components of professional education. It was determined that the implementation of this approach contributes to increasing the practical orientation of training, the formation of professionally oriented foreign language skills, the development of motivation and the ability for effective intercultural interaction. The pedagogical conditions under which the integrative approach ensures the effective development of professional foreign language competence were substantiated.
