A COMPUTER TRAINING PROGRAM AS A WAY TO FORM PROFESSIONAL FOREIGN-LANGUAGE ALGORITHMS FOR A MARITIME SPECIALIST IN THE PROCESS OF SELF-TRAINING

Abstract

The rapid pace of development of the information society dictates the need for systematic independent work of students, which is the key to their readiness for continuous self-education in the professional field. The organization of the learning process in higher education, particularly in maritime universities, using computer technologies allows for the design of tasks that reflect the specifics of future work activities and contributes to the successful acquisition of algorithms for professional foreign language communication. The article substantiates the importance of designing computer-based training programs in the process of independent training of future maritime specialists, which are aimed at developing the cadet’s professional and foreign language speech skills and their successful functioning in a unified process. By performing test tasks with varying degrees of complexity, the computer program acts as a mini-trainer and is a complex system that contains automated learning task scenarios, a control and display subsystem for the learning element, and a learning management subsystem. In helps to prepare students for successful interviews in foreign companies and developing their ability to use a foreign language as a working language in the context of their professional activities.
