Abstract

Educational trends and realities, such as redistribution of the teaching load, need for a more flexible and accessible education, automation of the students’ knowledge control, have largely adjusted the structure and content of the new generation educational-methodical complexes of disciplines. The research is aimed at developing and describing the structure and content of the multimedia educational-methodical complex (MEMC) for the discipline “Professional Foreign Language” for the Master’s degree students majoring in International Business. In the process of the development of the complex the methodological principles of integrality, interdisciplinarity and interactivity used in the professional foreign language teaching were taken into account. A complex of various methods was used, including: theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature on the research topic; study and comparison of the Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) for High Education of Russia with professional standards required by employers; study of normative documentation in the development of an educational-methodical complex for the discipline; generalization of the results obtained. The authors indicate the already existing developments and the main areas for further work. The implementation of the MEMC helped to improve the quality of the foreign language training and the efficiency of management of the students’ classroom and independent work.
