LEARNING TO MAKE DECISIONS USING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract

A characteristic feature of the modern multilingual world, including in the maritime industry, is the demand on the labor market for highly qualified specialists who are able not only to speak a foreign language, but also to have the ability to transform it into promptly made professional decisions based on incoming information. The training of a marine specialist for joint work in accordance with professional standards is becoming relevant. In this context, there is a contradiction between the high requirements for the professional activity of a merchant navy specialist in situations of foreign language communication according to the criterion of efficiency and accuracy of technological actions and an insufficiently developed methodology for the formation of algorithms for professional actions of a future specialist related to the use of a foreign language. This study clearly proves the importance of working out the technological operations of professional activity related to decision-making in a foreign language. The methodological basis of the research is the concept of integrative-contextual learning, which allows recreating the professional situation in the educational process, contributing to the formation of necessary professional stereotypes.
