Резюме
В статье обсуждается один из творческих подходов к обучению иностранным языкам для
специальных целей, так называемому тематическому методу. Главным моментом этого
метода является независимая иностранная деятельность обучающихся, созданная в
искусственной профессиональной среде.

The transition to a multilevel system of training at the present stage dictates the need
to change approaches to the content of the educational process, to create new forms
377
of its methodological support, as well as to realize the role of the teacher in the
innovative paradigm of person-oriented, creative learning. The variety of methods
and methods of mastering a foreign language in a higher educational institution
leads to the need for a rational choice of one of them or an optimal combination of
complementary methods and technologies, which implies the need to generalize
knowledge about the methods and techniques of organizing communication in
another language. At present, intensive instruction in foreign languages is realized in
various developing, newly created and operating methodological systems. This is
due to the variety of specific objectives for teaching a foreign language to a different
contingent of trainees, as well as the variety of learning conditions. Linguistic and
sociocultural
approach is inherent in almost all foreign language schools. An intensive method is
designed for business people who, in a short time, are expected to acquire specific
language skills. Often an intensive course is enough to use the language in a
professional field: in business correspondence, during presentations and telephone
conversations, drafting commercial proposals. The "direct" method is known as the
Berlitz method, the basic principle is to completely exclude the student's native
language from the learning process, the goal is to teach the student to think in a
foreign language. Business (activity) approach involves learning a foreign language
in conjunction with the practice of communication in the professional field.
Formation of a certain level of foreign professional communicative competence is an
actual and effective basis for further vocational-oriented communication of
university graduates that are foreign-language. However, it must be borne in mind
that when teaching a professional foreign language, the various functions of speech
and the ways of using it can’t have equal value. Along with the instrumental (simple
transfer of information), regulative (regulating activities), personal-emotional and
artistic (role-playing imagery of speech), heuristic (expression of one's
understanding), social (communication outside its narrow circle) and information-
scientific, analytical, reference. Case method, which has gained a leading position in
the modern practice of studying abroad, developing the mastery of these speech
functions, makes it possible to master the knowledge of the specialty in a foreign
language, to raise the level of its professional competence and self-esteem.
"Case method" (English case method, case method, case study, case study, method of
concrete situations) is a training technique that uses the description of real
(economic, social and business) situations. M. Dolgorukov refers the "case study"
method to "advanced" active teaching methods. An increase in the student's
"luggage" of analyzed cases increases the likelihood of using a ready-made solution
scheme to the current situation, forms the skills to solve more serious problems.
Situational learning teaches the search and the use of knowledge in a dynamic
situation, developing flexibility of thinking. E.N. Zakharova believes that
"competence-oriented vocational education is aimed at mastering activities that
provide readiness for solving problems and tasks based on knowledge, professional
and life experience, values, other internal and external resources" [3, p. 33].

The application of the case method in English classes in a professional environment
pursues two mutually complementary goals, namely: further improvement of
communicative competence (linguistic and sociocultural) and the formation of the
trainee's professional qualities. Acquaintance with the case (reading professionally
directed text in which the problem is formulated in the specialty, in the original or
with small abbreviations and minor adaptation, and the subsequent translation),
independent solution search, process of situation analysis during class are all
examples of communicative tasks. Auditor communication related to work on the
case,
which
is
inherent
in
the
dispute,
discussion,
argumentation,
description,comparison, conviction and other speech acts, trains the skill of working
out the correct strategy of speech behavior, observance of norms and rules of
English- speaking communication. Comments of students on the content of the case
are assessed by the teacher in the following skills: analytical, managerial, decision-
making skills, interpersonal communication skills, creativity, oral and written
communication skills in English (lexico-grammatical aspect). Therefore, the case
method includes at the same time a special kind of educational material and special
ways of its use in the teaching practice of the English language. According to the
results of our applied research, it was established that the case method can be used
as extremely effective for achieving the goals of teaching a professional foreign
language and intercultural adaptation. However, the application of this method in the
teaching of a foreign language should be methodologically justified and ensured.
This is necessary both at the level of the organization of the educational process in
the educational program in general, and at the level of planning by a separate
teacher. The disadvantages of using this method of organizing training can be
attributed to the fact that it is difficult to guarantee the independence of performing
all tasks in the case of individual students.
Case method in foreign language classes is recommended to apply in groups that
have a certain stock of knowledge in the specialty and a sufficient level of
knowledge of a foreign language. In addition, being a complex and effective method
of teaching, the method of the method is not universal and effective only in
combination with other methods of teaching foreign languages, because by itself
does not lay the mandatory normative knowledge of the language. Nevertheless, the
use of a case-study method in studying a foreign language increases the level of
knowledge of a foreign language as a whole. The method develops creative thinking;
develops presentation skills; develops the ability to lead a discussion, to argue the
answers; improves the skills of professional reading in a foreign language and
information processing; teaches to work in a team and develop a collective decision.
In the conditions of interactive learning, the students feel a stronger sense of
personal involvement in the educational process and the responsibility for their own
educational results is formed. Discussion, analysis of real situations, brainstorming,
business game, project assignment lead to the creation of a favorable psychological
atmosphere in the classroom, to enhance the speech and intellectual activity of the
trainees, increase their sense of self-confidence and create a semantic context of
379
communications. The pedagogical potential of the case method is much greater than
the pedagogical potential of traditional teaching methods. The case method is an
extremely effective tool that allows applying theoretical knowledge to solving
practical problems.
The problem of introducing the case method into the practice of higher professional
education is currently very relevant, which is due to the general orientation of the
development of education, not so much toward obtaining specific knowledge, but
rather as the formation of professional competence, skills and thinking skills,
development of personality abilities.
