Abstract

The course objective at the initial stage is to develop the social-cultural and profession-oriented communication competences. The language profession-oriented competence is the ability and readiness to interact in a foreign language during the intercultural professional communication (A1-B2). The course provides an opportunity to master any educational program and discipline in a foreign language, both within the framework of direct face-to-face interaction with teachers, and with the use of digital technologies. Teaching a foreign language is aimed at the complex development of communicative, cognitive, informational, socio-cultural, professional and general cultural competences of students. The course includes oral and written communication practice in Spanish. The interdisciplinary approach is used in order to provide an integration of different topics. Within the course the following aspects are combined, reflecting the generally accepted models of language use: EG (Español General or Spanish for General purposes (General literary language); EFE (Español con Fines Específicos or Spanish for special purposes). The combination of these models in the structure of training of future specialists creates a high motivational level associated with the pragmatics of professional, cognitive and communicative needs of students.
