Students’ academic mobility in the process of foreign language training: methodology of implementation

the purpose of the study includes three main points: to identify and justify the formation students’ academic mobility methodology; to reveal its sociocultural, interdisciplinary, integrated and epistemological meanings in the process of foreign language training at engineering university for practical intercultural communication; to determine the formed students’ metacompetencies as well as its content. The scientific novelty represents the substantiating of mobile learning methodology in the process of foreign language training at an engineering university, which is based on sociocultural, interdisciplinary, integrated and epistemological approaches. Approbation of this methodology was implemented at Kazan National Research Technological University with a group of first-year Masters enrolled in the program of Biotechnical Systems and Technologies. The group consists of 10 students and the new mobile learning methodology contributes to successful foreign internship at Yeditepe University, Turkey. As a result, the methodology of mobile learning makes it possible to form students’ psychological readiness, metalinguistic awareness, a new technical culture, as well as to prepare engineering university students for any international educational task in the shortest possible time and contribute to the actualization of the processes of reorientation of universities to the new educational space of «friendly» countries.
