ACCOUNTING FOR DEVIANCE IN TRAINING THE LANGUAGE OF SPECIALTY WITH BACHELORS

Abstract

The article discusses certain types of student deviances based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical sources and sociological theories of deviant behavior. Deviations may contain both negative and positive connotations, so the methods used in mitigating the former and positive reinforcement of the latter can be used when teaching undergraduates in the discipline “Foreign Language in the Professional Sphere.” A number of measures of pedagogical influence, preventive measures and practical recommendations are proposed. All of them could support students on their way of obtaining higher education in general as well as in mastering a foreign language in particular. It is concluded that within the framework of the social science approach, deviance can be considered as a necessary condition for the society existence, since any deviations from the norm contribute to its development.
