DICTOGLOSS AS A VERBAL SKILLS FACILITATOR IN TRAINING A LANGUAGE FOR PROFESSIONAL PURPOSES AT HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOOL

Abstract

The article considers the way of using a methodological technique of working with dictoglosses in the course of foreign language training with bachelors. Both negative and positive aspects in using written dictations are discussed. The paper proposes four stages of dictation in the major of “Foreign language in professional sphere.” These stages are tested with the 3rd year undergraduate students of Higher School of Management at Financial university under the Government of the Russian Federation. The definitions of such concepts as dictoglosses and universal learning activities, their types (personal, regulatory, cognitive, communicative), as well as ways to include them in the learning process during the foreign language training of undergraduate students are given. Recommendations are proposed, the use of which during teaching the discipline “Foreign Language for the Professional Sphere” involves students in the processes that are parallel to managerial ones, helps to form an algorithm of actions that they will use in the framework of personnel management, develops educational autonomy with students in general and a foreign language self-development vector particularly. It is concluded that approach of dictoglosses’ effectiveness triangles can also be utilized in the course of mastering a foreign language for the professional purposes by undergraduates in the process of training them in management. Practical recommendations are offered for the introduction of this technology in the educational process. The conclusion is made that dictoglosses contribute to the creation of such a learning style, when the students can get knowledge independently and share it with their classmates (pedagogical technology named “flipped classroom”). In this case the teacher plays the role of a facilitator in the process of communication and a language partner of the students, that may seem to be an additional incentive for learning a foreign language.
