Organization of training by cooperation / competition method in foreign language classes

Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of the organization of training in a foreign language according to the method of rivalry / cooperation. The author investigated the possibilities of the practical application of such forms as cooperation and rivalry and their impact on the educational process. The relevance of this problem is due to the need for the search for new ways, methods, techniques for effective training of foreign students, the need to develop optimal technologies for the process of learning a foreign language by using cooperation and rivalry strategies; a lack of fundamental theoretical research and practical developments on the application of cooperation and rivalry in teaching foreign languages. The author studies examples of interactive games that students find most interesting and entertaining and shows various ways of organizing work in small groups. Among the most effective forms of pair and group work are internal (external) circles, brainstorm, zigzag reading, opinion exchange, paired interviews. Technologies of rivalry and cooperation should be used in the educational process in a complementary manner. To successfully form the abilities of oral professional communication, it is necessary to systematically use the entire arsenal of funds and techniques that implement strategies for cooperation and rivalry. The author describes the impact of these methods on the educational process, namely the stimulation of personal, intellectual activity, development of cognitive processes, formation of competencies that the future specialist should have.
