WAYS OF INCREASING THE DEGREE OF STUDENT INVOLVEMENT IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES AT A NON-LINGUISTIC UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The article examines a problem of students’ involvement in the educational process in foreign language classes at a non-linguistic university. The objective of the study is to identify key categories that contribute to increasing students’ motivation and activity in the classroom, as well as to develop practical recommendations for teachers. At this stage the scientific research focuses on analyzing needs of students studying English at a non-linguistic university. The relevance of this study is due to changes in the expectations of modern students, who have become more demanding of the educational process. Students do not want to limit themselves to traditional teaching methods if they do not meet their needs and lifestyle. An important aspect of this study is enhancement of strategies for analyzing students’ needs in the context of learning foreign languages at a non-linguistic university in order to identify specific problems. An attempt has been made to provide a deeper understanding of students’ needs compared to previous studies. Based on the needs analysis, it is concluded that an individualized approach to teaching a foreign language in a non-linguistic university, based on the needs of students, significantly increases their involvement and improves language skills. The research findings can be put into practice to improve the educational process. The work has significant value for subsequent developments of the topic, as the results of the research can serve as a basis for creating more adapted curricula and methods. The article will be useful for teachers of foreign languages who are striving to improve the quality of education and increase the level of student involvement in learning a foreign language. In the future, the research will be continued with the aim of practical verification of the results obtained in order to systematize the most effective principles.
