Abstract
The purpose of the course "Spanish language" at the initial stage (1 course of study) is the development of general cultural competence, the formation and development of intercultural foreign-language professionally oriented communicative competence. Foreign-language professional-communicative competence is the willingness and ability to carry out foreign-language communication in the context of intercultural professional communication (level A1-A2 on the Common European Framework of Reference, CEFR). Compliance with international standards is realized through the use of the international exam format for conducting intermediate and final certification of students: Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE) and Servicio Internacional de Evaluación de la Lengua Española (SIELE). The achievement of communicative competence in the range of these levels lies at the heart of the implementation of the principle of academic mobility in the global educational environment, provides the opportunity to master any educational programs and educational disciplines in a foreign language, both within the framework of direct full-time interaction with teachers and with the use of distance technologies. The methodological basis for constructing the program is the principle of integrability, reflecting goals in relation to foreign languages. Foreign language learning is aimed at the comprehensive development of the communicative, cognitive, informational, sociocultural, professional and general cultural competencies of students. Teaching foreign language communication includes teaching oral and written communication in a foreign language as a compulsory component. The combination of these models in the structure of training of future specialists creates a high motivational level associated with the practicality of professional, cognitive and communicative needs of students. The structure of the Spanish language training course ensures the continuity of goals and objectives at each stage of training. An interdisciplinary approach was used to identify issues, ensuring the integration of topics and situations. In the course of the discipline, the 1st course presents the aspect of EG (Español General) - Spanish for general purposes (general literary language), reflecting generally accepted patterns of language use. In the framework of this aspect, the academic skills necessary for the implementation of educational and professional tasks are formed. Academic skills in all types of speech activity (listening, reading, speaking and writing) are distinguished taking into account the nature of materials in textbooks and analysis of situations of potential future academic and professional activities of students.
