EDUCATIONAL AND METHODOLOGICAL COMPLEXES IN GERMAN LANGUAGE IN HIGHER EDUCATION: EXPERIENCE AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

The article discusses the experience of working with a new generation of educational and methodological complex in the German language at a university. Tasks and functions of educational materials in a foreign language are fundamentally changing and becoming more complex in the era of rapidly growing informatization and digitalization, and therefore there is a need to critically rethink the experience accumulated in the field of compiling textbooks and educational-methodological complexes in foreign languages in order to optimize their content and structure in present time. The authors analyze teaching materials, classify text material and tasks, and highlight traditional and innovative components in content and structure. A manual is considered from the point of view of content, authenticity of the proposed materials and the communicative component of exercises and tasks. Results of the analysis show that in the process of complex use of language and speech exercises, lexical and grammatical material is worked out in interaction, which in turn is aimed at the formation and improvement of communicative, sociocultural, strategic and pragmatic competencies.
