Zelenin H. Theoretical and methodological bases for foreign language vocational training of future teachers of technical disciplines

The doctoral thesis deals with the question of improving the quality of foreign language training of future teachers of technical disciplines. It was con-cluded that it is necessary to develop a holistic system of foreign language training of future teachers of technical disciplines with a focus on the use of a foreign language as a means of vocational (engineering and pedagogical) train-ing. Methodological approaches, such as the system approach, synergetic ap-proach, personality- and activity-based approach, communicative approach, competence approach and resource approach, were defined. Taking into ac-count the leading ideas of advanced, interdisciplinary integration, duality and relevant principles, the concept of a holistic system of foreign language training of future teachers of technical disciplines was developed. Based on its provi-sions, the system of foreign language vocational training of would-be teachers of technical disciplines, which contains conceptual-target, structural-semantic, technological-activity, control and evaluation blocks, was developed and theo-retically substantiated. The results of a specially organized pedagogical experi-ment on the implementation of the developed system of foreign language train-ing of future teachers of technical disciplines confirmed its effectiveness at high-er education institutions.
