REGULATORY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF THE METHODOLOGICAL SYSTEM OF ADDITIONAL CORPORATE ADULT FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRAINING: STANDARDIZATION OR AUTONOMY

Abstract

The study presents the assessment of modern standards in the field of corporate adult foreign language training. The core of the analysis of corporate training standardization lies in the examination of the regulatory and legal framework that supports the methodological system of corporate language education for adults. A comparative analysis of additional professional education and corporate training is presented within the context of current legislation. Particular attention is paid to the differences in standardization, licensing, program content requirements, and teacher qualifications. It has been revealed that corporate training, unlike additional professional education, functions under conditions of high autonomy, which directly influences the variability of methodological approaches to foreign language instruction. The importance of program flexibility and the ability to respond quickly to the evolving professional demands of businesses is emphasized. The necessity of developing industry-specific standards is substantiated as a means to ensure the quality of corporate language education while preserving the variability of programs and the flexibility of methodological tools. The paper outlines directions for further research aimed at developing effective training models in corporate learning environments.
