GENERATION Z STUDENTS’ EXPECTATIONS FROM FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES IN NON-LINGUISTIC CLASSIC UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

Students’ expectations from study are the most important element of the educational process management system. Based on the expectations of students, instructors can make changes to the plan of the educational process to improve its quality. The article contains results of an experiment on the study of the content and characteristics of students’ expectations from foreign language classes in non-linguistic specialties of universities. The author developes questions for a questionnaire, which are used to find out the opinions of students of non-linguistic specialties of undergraduate education, chosen by a random selection, studying a foreign language at a classical university. The results of the analysis show that students are not satisfied with the use of traditional teaching methods and strategies. Representatives of generation Z express their desire the materials, testing and assessment methods, as well as assignments and teaching techniques to be focused on new modern technologies.
