Psychological and pedagogical conditions for teaching foreign professional communication students of “Technology of production and processing of agricultural products” programme based on the model of content and language integrated learning

Content and language Integrated learning is one of the modern approaches to teaching a foreign language for professional communication to students of non-linguistic specialties. The implementation of the approach implies taking into account the specifics of each specific profile of training within the training direction when selecting the subject content of teaching a foreign language, as well as when choosing a system of exercises and assignments aimed at creating aspects of students' foreign-language professional communicative competence. The development of an appropriate teaching methodology will depend on the consideration of a number of psychological and pedagogical conditions, which are understood as a complex of interconnected possibilities of the educational environment aimed at quantitative or qualitative changes in personality characteristics. In the framework of this study, teaching foreign students professional communication in the “Technology for the production and processing of agricultural products” programme on the basis of an integrated content-language training model will be effective when taking into account the following psychological and pedagogical conditions: 1) motivation of students to study foreign language professional communication on the basis of an integrated content-learning model; 2) students have a foreign language level of B1 and above; 3) the competence of a foreign language teacher in a profile specialty; 4) taking into account the specifics of the learning profile when selecting the subject matter of teaching a foreign language for professional communication; 5) taking into account the specifics of professional activity in the development of a complex of educational communicative tasks. In this work, we substantiate and describe each of the conditions in detail.
