| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of the dissertation is to define theoretically the system of Engineering English development for college students ensuring the expansion of functional abilities in reference to the didactic context determined by the change of educational systems. The modernistic didactics and functional systemic linguistics form the basics of the educational model the essential segments of which are the interaction, language discourse, joint meaning construction and pedagogical scaffolding. The empirical part of the work via the application of Qualitative and Quantitative Research ways determines the didactic conditions and factors of the development system of Engineering English functional abilities in colleges. The analysis of the research results reveals the fact that modelling of the education of English abilities necessary for professional environment is more successful when the process is didactically based on the interactive activity of the learners. The scientific novelty of the dissertation comprises the first exhaustive investigation of the development process of Engineering English at college, the diagnostics of didactic model application practice, the identification of English abilities for professional use on the bases of engineering practitioners’ experience and the empirical substantiation of the model for functional ability development. The practical significance of the work covers the recommended model for the development of Engineering English functional abilities the practical application of which enables to modernize the educational process, ensures the expansion of functional abilities and helps in designing new and improving the study programs currently implemented. |
