ESP (English for specific purpose) oriented English language training

Contemporary theory for the study of languages of international communication in the dialogue of cultures and civilizations raises the question about necessity of formation of teachers of a foreign language professional competence, component composition which includes language, speech, linguistic, didactic, cultural and subject matter competence. The lack of formation of these components leads to the fact that many teachers have difficulties in reading foreign language literature in the specialty, discussing pedagogical and methodological problems in a foreign language, difficulties in conversations and discussions on professional topics. Therefore, we can assume that even in high school it is necessary to achieve a certain level of formation of skills of professional speech, sufficient and necessary for the successful implementation of professional activities. Skills of professional speech will serve as a basis for further self-education and self-improvement in the chosen profession of students.

The progress of society is characterized not only by the development of industrial areas and assess the interests and values of members of society, i.e. human capital human capital refers to skills, knowledge and abilities (skills) necessary for work activities in socio-economic spheres. Such qualities are primarily determined (identified) by the quality of education, reflecting the intellectual potential of society, a developed education system that offers quality education and the like.

A foreign language embodies a great potential that meets the needs of society and occupies an important place in the comprehensive harmonious development of the individual. Teaching foreign languages is not only the provision of knowledge about a foreign language, but also a factor affecting the formation of a person who is ready to independently acquire knowledge, able to think creatively, aware of the cultural heritage of his homeland and the country of the studied language and the place they occupy in world history. A foreign language is a source that plays an important role in the achievement of the individual's intellectual, cultural and professional excellence, as well as a factor that occupies an important place in his cultural development.

The training of Mature specialists who meet the requirements of the time requires perfect knowledge of foreign languages. Therefore, at present, the development of innovative systems for professionally-oriented teaching of foreign languages in higher education is one of the topical issues for methodologists. Such a system, in turn, should:

• -    meet the interests of society and the individual, strengthen the place occupied by foreign languages in the future professional activities of students and motivation to learn a foreign language from students who are aware of the functional importance of this language;

• -    contribute to the overall degree of knowledge of foreign languages;

• -    give the opportunity to characterize the goals, objectives, methods and means of teaching foreign languages in the system of professional training of students;

• -    to reveal features of professional activity of teachers and students;

• -    to give the chance to overcome the contradictions existing in training in foreign languages in higher educational institutions and professional colleges.

The development of a system of professionally-oriented teaching of foreign languages to students to the maximum extent manifests the interests of the individual and at the same time is aimed at fulfilling a new social order. Professionally-oriented teaching of a foreign language should be an impetus to the formation of the personality of a specialist who has an active life point of view (position) throughout the working life. It is necessary to create such educational environment, forming and developing skills necessary for future specialist, a prospective teacher (teacher) foreign language, which subsequently, through the interest in learning a foreign language would enhance the student's interest in their future profession.

To achieve a good assimilation of materials in English by students in educational institutions need to achieve that:

• -    students’ passion for learning a foreign language was to the required extent;

• -    the process of learning foreign languages was communicative oriented;

• -    the teacher creatively approached the choice of teaching methods;

• -    a favorable psychological environment was created during classes to perform oral exercises and teaching dialogue in a foreign language;

• -    there were available various learning tools and opportunities for continuous use in the learning process;

• -    classroom and extracurricular (classroom and extracurricular) creative work on the study of the English language were carried out in concert. If we take into account and attach importance to the above requirements in the process of studying and teaching foreign languages, it will lead to a change in the forms and content of the approach to a foreign language as a subject in higher educational institutions. At the present stage of social development in higher educational institutions, as well as in professional educational institutions, the main purpose of the course "Foreign language" is considered to be teaching students the ability to communicate at work in a foreign language.

The basic elements of classes are:

• 1)    the organizational setting;

• 2)    testing the depth and strength of knowledge;

• 3)    the interaction of the teacher and students based on the message-acquiring new knowledge, skills and abilities;

• 4)    consolidation of learned material and exercises;

• 5)    diagnosis of the strength of the assimilation of knowledge, formation of skills and abilities;

• 6)    instruction in homework or independent work.

Teaching professionally-oriented English is a scientific direction, born in the late 1960s, and it is considered a type of education that meets the educational needs of the educated and the social order of society. The abbreviation ESP (English for Specific Purpose) is currently considered a term that entered the scientific circle of theorists and practitioners of teaching professionally-oriented English. Teaching English as an ESP (English for Specific Purpose) requires not only a new approach to its methodology, but also a new look at the content of a foreign language. In particular, in non-philological higher education institutions, ESP requires such an approach to the content of English language teaching, in which, for example, when teaching professional communication (dialogue), the content of education is planned in stages; at the initial stage, the hours allotted for a foreign language are directed mainly to the formation of lexical, grammatical and phonetic skills and skills in communication, etc.
