The purpose of the article is to study the dynamics of volumes and stability of the structure of energy resource consumption at manufacturing enterprises, the analysis of the technical readiness of energy systems to implement the ideas of digital transformation. As the main research methods used in this article there are the method of dipole energy analysis to determine the priority of types of energy carriers, the method of graphical visualization of data to find the release points of values from the zone of relative stability, the method of classifying objects to assign products to a group of objects on the level of energy sustainability. The article analyzes the current trends in energy consumption with the determination of the vector of sustainable energy consumption and the parameters of reserves for improving energy efficiency; prioritized separate types of energy production of petrochemical plants; the types of products were classified according to the level of sustainability of energy consumption with the establishment of control points having emissions of values from the zone of relative stability and unproductive consumption of energy resources; the high technical readiness of energy systems of manufacturing industries to automate production processes with the subsequent development of digital technologies has been proved.

The article relevance. Modern concepts of education development, recognition of the uniqueness and self-worth of human individuality have led to the search for ways to socialize individuals with disabilities, to the development of new pedagogical strategies aimed at developing ideas of independent life for this category of the population.

Second foreign language has been recently introduced into the curriculum of Russian schools. However, the language programs are not scientifically based and tested. Teaching and learning aids are not developed, either teaching techniques. This becomes the theme of the research discussed in the paper. The purpose of this paper is to justify and characterize the scientific and methodological approach to the process of improving motivation for learning the second foreign language on the basis of analysis of educational theory and practice. The paper presents a scientific and methodological approach to the development of schoolchildren motivation for second foreign language learning; motivation levels of schoolchildren for learning the second foreign language are described; organizational and pedagogical conditions necessary to improve schoolchildren motivation for second foreign language learning have been identified (the teacher should know the students' first foreign language (English) proficiency level; analyze quantitative and qualitative characteristics of their motivation to learn German as the second foreign language; take into account students' individual cognitive characteristics and educational requirements in learning the second foreign language; the teacher should be aware of the fact that it necessary to increase motivation of each student regardless of their language proficiency level); a system of assignments to organize individual and group work of students to improve their motivation for second foreign language learning has been developed and tested. The significance of the research consists in proving the effectiveness of the developed scientific methodological approach to developing schoolchildren motivation for learning the second foreign language. The paper is of practical value for second foreign language teachers, as they can use the data as the basis for developing a system of assignments aimed at increasing their students' motivation.
