Models of language training for foreign students of higher education in Ukraine
Abstract
The purpose of the article is a general analysis of the peculiarities of the organization of language training for foreign students of higher education in Ukraine and the systematization of models of language training for foreigners since the country gained its independence. The research was conducted in synchronic and diachronic aspects. Dynamic changes in the issue of the language course of Ukraineʼs development testify to the relevance of the study of the proposed models for teaching inophones.The authors proposed six working models of the linguistic organization of education of foreigners in higher education institutions of Ukraine, where the languages of instruction are Ukrainian, English, and Russian (used for some time in the eastern and southern regions), however, the language of socio-cultural communication is not always the studentʼs language of instruction. The authors analyse the advantages and disadvantages of each model, the features of their functioning, availability of educational programs and describe the content of language competence, speech, and professional components. The models of learning inophones in conditions of bilingualism (taking into account positive and negative interference) were also thoroughly studied.There is stated the main goal of teaching the Ukrainian language to the students of higher education who chose English as a medium of instruction in their fields. This model involves a reorientation of the content of the competencies that come to the fore (linguistic, speech, sociocultural, intercultural).The article provides practical recommendations for creating methodological support for the educational process of various models. Attention is focused on the need to intensify this kind of work against the background of enhancement of the role of distance learning and intensification of the application of innovative language teaching methods. The researchers propose options for solving the problems that arise during the teaching of Ukrainian as a foreign language to inophones.
