The purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of the task-based approach to teaching business vocabulary to master's degree students while studying business English. The discipline of business English aims to develop students' ability to analyse and solve problems of the business environment, improve their foreign language competence on the basis of acquired business vocabulary. The authors used the task-based approach in teaching business vocabulary which was aimed at encouraging students to social contacts, discussions, use of the necessary lexical units in situations close to real business life. The participants of the study were 34 students who studied for a master's degree at the National Aviation University (Kyiv, Ukraine) majoring in aviation, rocket and space technology. The study of the course required 34 academic hours. According to the methodology of the experiment, the two groups of students (control and experimental ones) had the same learning materials during the course, but the teaching methods were different. In the control group, we used traditional vocabulary learning methods which implied the presentation of the new vocabulary by the teacher, practice exercises which made learners more familiar with the lexical units and the use of the new vocabulary by students in context. In the experimental group, task-based learning method was used which required students to work on solving real business problems with special attention to the development of teamwork skills and communication skills based on the students' experience of work in business and communication with colleagues from other countries. Specially designed tasks were used to intensify the process of learning business vocabulary. The study showed significant positive dynamics in the acquisition of business vocabulary by students of the experimental group. The results of the test confirmed that task-based approach to vocabulary learning allows students to learn the necessary business vocabulary on a particular topic more easily and quickly It has been concluded that the task-based approach is not only efficient in vocabulary learning, but also increases the students' confidence in their professional and communicative competence.

Rapid process of obsolescence of knowledge, necessity of its constant modernization, differentiation and practical orientation require from teacher professional training a set of conditions, implementation of which needs harmonious combination (integration, complementarity, connection) of different subjects for integrity, thoroughness and effectiveness of such training. The results of anonymous online survey are presented, which have demonstrated that the majority of teachers in higher educational establishments are aware of crosscurriculum approach, associated with cooperation, complement, help, interaction, as well as the importance of its practical implementation in future teacher training even in the absence of motivation. The results of the survey allowed the authors to rationalize principles of crosscurriculum approach to the design of the content of future teachers' psychological and pedagogical training, in which principle of integrity is a leading one, with such priority principals as systematic, structural, integrative, hierarchical ones.

The article outlines key trends in the global labor market and Ukraine’s labor market, describes the role of the information technology industry in the global economy and the economy of Ukraine, and establishes the mutual influence of the labor market and IT market trends. The authors analyze the issues of personnel shortages, in particular, IT managers, in the field of IT, in view of the dual nature of IT management. Then they summarize the global workforce management trends for 2017-2018 using Deloitte, EY and PwC data, and compare the problems urgent for workers, on the one hand, and human resources managers, on the other hand. Further they outline the key workforce management trends to watch in 2019 and highlight the expansion of HR managers’ functions and optimization of workforce management approaches and tools due to the labor market change and IT developments. They also single out high-priority workforce management tasks in the opinion of the tech and telecommunications industry. The authors determine the tasks of IT managers in the field of workforce management and stress that these tasks can be taken into account by Ukrainian higher educational institutions when developing and improving their training programs for future IT managers. They emphasize cooperation between IT companies and higher educational institutions aimed at increasing talent density in the IT industry, and give actual examples of such cooperation. They conclude that, on the one hand, IT managers as executives should be aware of the current workforce market trends to help their companies attract talents and manage them effectively using advanced workforce management tools and technologies, and on the other hand, workforce market trends should guide the higher educational institutions that train future IT managers.

The paper describes modern approaches and principles for implementing differentiated instruction in school teaching and learning. New expectations of qualitative changes in school education depend on teachers’ personal and professional roles in this process. The paper reveals the core characteristics of “differentiated instruction” and its functions in teaching. The authors consider “differentiated instruction ”to increase the efficiency of education; as the means of individualized learning; as the educational principle; as a method to ensure cognitive students’ activities; as the technology for learning activities in different student groups. The main idea of research is to identify the appropriate pedagogical conditions to ensure the effectiveness of improving teachers’ mastery in differentiated instruction implementation. Specifically, this study examines English teachers’ use of differentiated instruction in school and explores the empirical results of their training in Ukraine. The authors suggest the ways to improve the content, organizational and technological components of teachers’ training for differentiated instruction in modern school practice.

Th e article reveals the importance of the time management problem and substantiates the expediency of its research. It describes peculiarities of time management as a pedagogical technology concentrating on its principles; analysis of technology genesis was carried out in the works by foreign and domestic scientists from diff erent fi elds of science. Five groups of problems solved with the help of this technology were identifi ed. It was found out that time management within our research meets the requirements of a pedagogical technology eff ectively facilitating PhD students' self-management. It was proved that it combines features of professional management technology as well as eff ective self-management.Th e research analyzed the infl uence of training sessions (36 hours) devoted to the development of time management skills (professional and personal) at the level of postgraduate students' time management competence formation.
