Introduction. The article describes a study of an original CLILbased teaching model at a teacher-training university, designed specifically to develop students’ foreign language professional-communicative competence (FLPCC). Its relevance is due to a lack of research into applying CLIL theory and methodology in teacher-training institutions of higher education, as well as to a practical need to improve the quality of pedagogy undergraduates’ foreign language instruction.The aim of the present study is to substantiate the effectiveness of implementing the proposed CLIL-based FLPCC development model at a pedagogical university.Methodology and research methods. The proposed model integrates the communicative and competence-based approaches, as well as the method of conceptual modelling. To assess and confirm the results of the experiment, the authors created a diagnostic complex test in accordance with the Professional Teacher Standard. A feedback survey among students and teachers was conducted, and a SWOT analysis was carried out. The applied methods of mathematical-statistical analysis: Mann – Whitney U-test, Student’s t-test.Results and scientific novelty. Experimentally and statistically, the study proved the effectiveness of the proposed CLIL-based FLPCC development model. A new model-based CLIL-course was introduced, uniting the content, communicational, cognitive and cultural components of CLIL framework. The conducted experiment contributed to an increase in professional and subjectlanguage knowledge, development of the FLPCC skills and professional and communicative strategies, aimed at solving professional and pedagogical problems. The study presents a new perspective on tandem teaching by integrating the efforts of teachers from various scientific fields. A diagnostic complex test was developed in accordance with the Professional Teacher Standard. SWOT analysis of experimental results revealed the effectiveness and viability of the proposed model.Practical significance. The study will be useful to teachers practicing CLIL, and for those looking for ways to develop FLPCC in a teacher training institution. Although the experimental work carried out in one university, does not claim to be comprehensive, the authors believe that the model implementation may improve the quality of teacher education.
The shift towards digitalization in education, intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic-related issues, has led to the emergence of a need to expand the borders of the teaching profession. To be effective in the digital environment, school teachers have to master new transprofessional competences (TPCs), enabling them to use the skill sets of other careers, gain new skills and abilities and find non-standard solutions to professional and pedagogical problems using digital technologies. This study investigated education employers' opinions (61 principals and deputy principals from 31 Russian secondary schools) about the comparative importance of TPCs for school teachers working in the digital environment and their perceptions of what barriers prevent teachers from developing TPCs. The survey used a three-item questionnaire asking the respondents to rank the TPCs and the TPC clusters in order of importance for teachers working with the digital and to describe the obstacles to teachers' TPC development. The findings revealed that the employers attached the greatest importance to psychological TPCs while assigning the least importance to digital citizenship TPCs. The major barriers to TPC development, in the respondents' opinion, lay in teachers' fear of new trends and their excessive workload. Based on the survey results, we designed a model of school teachers' transprofessional competences in digital teaching and learning that can be used as an assessment tool in different professional settings. The paper concludes with suggestions on how to overcome the barriers and help improve school teachers' TPC development.
Проблема и цель. В статье раскрывается проблема теоретического обоснования и экспериментальной проверки технологии активного говорения CAST (Content-based Active Speaking Technology), способствующей формированию иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции у студентов нефилологических профилей подготовки. Цель статьипроанализировать эффективность применения данной технологии в условиях организации учебных занятий по иностранному (английскому) языку в вузе. Методология. Методологической основой исследования стали коммуникативный и компетентностный подходы в обучении иностранному языку. Методы исследования включают анкетирование, наблюдение и контрольное тестирование студентов нефилологических профилей подготовки. Результаты. Технология активного говорения CAST является эффективным средством поэтапного формирования иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции у студентов нефилологических профилей при условии реализации следующих концептуальных идей: использование языка в целом, а не членение его на грамматические или лексические явления, ориентация учебных заданий на содержание высказывания, а не на форму; в процессе обучения основной акцент делается не на языковых средствах, необходимых для решения поставленной задачи, а на самом задании, его содержании; процесс изучения иностранного языка рассматривается как переход от формы к смыслу речевых явлений и речевому творчеству студентов. В статье дано подробное описание этапов, методов и форм обучения, используемых в технологии CAST.
