“…At the turn of the century, these factors led to the need to create new textbooks on a foreign language in higher schools, since there were no authentic manuals that could meet the above requirements (Kravtsova & Yastrebova, 2019). Education and methodological complexes (EMC) created in the countries of the target language are becoming popular.…”

In the field of professional education, the problem of creating innovative teaching aids and educational and methodological complexes is currently especially acute. The tasks and functions of teaching materials in a foreign language are fundamentally changing and becoming more complicated in connection with the changing requirements of the labour market for young specialists, the duration of study at universities and the increasing informatization and digitalization of processes. It is necessary to critically rethink the experience accumulated in the field of compiling textbooks and education-methodical complexes in foreign languages and optimize their content and structure, taking into account new requirements. The article undertakes a comparative analysis of the classic textbook and the education-methodical complex of the new generation in the German language. The manuals are analyzed from the point of view of the content, the authenticity of the proposed materials and the communicative component of the exercises and tasks. The genres of the texts used and the types of tasks for the extraction of information while reading are highlighted. The results of the analysis showed that the teaching materials of a new type include the most effective traditional types of exercises and tasks, at the same time, the compilers make an attempt to use language and speech exercises comprehensively, lexical and grammar material is worked out in interaction, and the system of exercises is aimed at the formation and improvement of communicative, sociocultural, strategic and pragmatic competencies. The structure of the teaching materials of a new type also includes a program of study in a multimedia class for the development of pronunciation skills using authentic samples of speech and listening skills with full or partial extraction of information from texts of different genres, selected taking into account the level of students and the subject matter of the main parts of the teaching materials. .

The paper proves the relevance of the discussed topic in the view of modern reality and our understanding of education as a process in which a student is an active participant in their educational activities. The authors’ attention is focused on such concepts as «self-regulated cognitive activity», «metacognitive skills» and «person-centered teaching methods» revealing their interdependence in the learning process. The significant developmental potential of the academic discipline “Foreign Language” makes it possible to organize “constructive, cognitive and creative activity” of students striving for self-development. The aim of the research is to analyze the didactic potential of the textbook in preparing students for independent self-regulated cognitive activity and illustrate it with the examples of specific tasks. The authors examine the main characteristics of a foreign language textbook developed for a non-linguistic university. One of the important characteristics of a foreign language textbook is its focus on the development of self-regulated cognitive activity through methodological apparatus of the textbook. In this context, much attention is paid to person-centered tasks included in the foreign language textbooks. Such tasks include mini-projects, round tables, conferences, discussions, role-plays, case studies, etc. The practical value of the research is determined by the opportunity given by the textbook to apply the results for the effective development of students’ metacognitive skills that form the basis of self-education. The tasks presented and analyzed in the paper allow us to draw a conclusion about the importance and necessity of using person-centered technologies in the educational process with the aim of preparing students for independent self-regulated cognitive activity through the development of metacognitive skills.
