Aspects of the Development of English-Medium Professional Educational Programmes in the Context of Internationalisation of Higher Education // Journal "Problems of Contemporary Science and Practice" Vernadsky University , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2017. (pdf-file)
Abstract: Competitiveness and success of university graduates at a labour market is seen as a key goal of educational programmes, and knowledge of foreign languages, particularly English, is an essential component of such success. As a means of achieving it, TSTU is offering students a possibility to learn a profession and English language within one educational programme. Established in 2004, Centre for International Professional Training provides continuous language and professional training of bachelor, master, postgraduate students and university teaching staff for the purpose of their participation in international academic mobility programmes, joint projects, conferences and professional activities in multinational environment.
The training includes a range of courses taught in English in
such areas as humanities, socio-economic and natural sciences,
mathematics, technology and business. Intensive language training is
at the core of the programme, but what is more important is that
content and language learning occurs simultaneously, creating the
synergetic effect of building a bilingual knowledge base in a subject
and developing linguistic competence along with the increase of
academic and professional competence. - Korolyova L.Yu. The Discursive Approach to Developing Tests for ESP
Assessment in Higher Educational Institutions // Journal "Problems of Contemporary Science and Practice" Vernadsky University , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2017. (pdf-file)
Abstract: The problem of assessing English for specific
purposes (ESP) in higher educational institutions is focused on.
The dependence of ESP assessment system on the development of
competences on the whole and language competences in particular
as one of the requirements of educational standards is paid attention
to. The classification of ESP assessment tools and resources is given
and paper-and-pencil tests are featured as the most widespread type
of continuous assessment of ESP in Russian higher educational
institutions. The term ‘discourse’ is interpreted as well as the
discursive approach and its components. The discursive approach to
developing paper-and-pencil tests is discussed. The advantages of
such tests over conventional tests are analyzed on the base of
examples. - Korolyova L.Yu. The Foreign Language Assessment System in Higher
Educational Institutions of Different Countries // Journal "Problems of Contemporary Science and Practice" Vernadsky University , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2017. (pdf-file)
Abstract: The problem of assessing foreign language learners’
skills is focused on. The definition of the term ‘assessment’ as well
as types of assessment and their peculiarities are given. Different
approaches to evaluating students’ knowledge of foreign languages
are considered. Performance-based assessment and its advantages
are discussed. Much attention is paid to Oral Proficiency Interview
as one of the most appropriate methods to assess University
students’ language skills relying on the correlation of foreign
languages with real-life situations. Foreign language assessment
systems of the USA, Europe and Russia are analyzed. The study
of assessment types used at Tambov State Technical University
is carried out. The results show that paper-and-pencil tests made
by teachers are the most widely used method of evaluation as well as
exit exams. - Korotkina I.B. Expanding Academic Vocabulary through Logical Games // Journal "Problems of Contemporary Science and Practice" Vernadsky University , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2017. (pdf-file)
Abstract: Academic literacy and writing involves mastering
not only rhetoric and text-building, but also academic vocabulary
skills. The corpus of the English academic vocabulary mainly
consists of words from classical languages, the frequency of which
is much higher in the academic language than vernacular, sometimes
limiting the number of native words to articles and prepositions.
Another peculiarity of the adoptions is word formation through
affixation, which is not common in contemporary English, but quite
common in Russian. This similarity provides a perfect opportunity
for Russian students to boost their English academic vocabulary
actively and productively. The only effort needed is that of the
course designer. Academic Vocabulary for Social Sciences (HSE
Publishing House, 2016) is the course that motivates postgraduate
students and researchers to work collaboratively, applying their
background knowledge and analytic skills to challenging tasks
presented through specific PowerPoint-based learning environment.
This approach, visualized methodologically as an uprising evolving
spiral, provides learners with strategies applicable in their further
professional development. Approbated in two universities, it can be
of interest to EAP teachers working in postgraduate education and
professional development programmers.
