TEACHING ENGLISH IN NON-LINGUISTIC UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

Mastery of a foreign (English) language is an essential condition for the success and competitiveness of a modern specialist on the labor market. The use of foreign (English) language for professional purposes has become a necessity for specialists of engineering specialties, whose activity is directly connected with the world market. Ukraine has recently been trying to integrate into the world community as an equal participant, and this makes us move to the full implementation of this statement. One of the factors complicating the entry of our specialists to the world market, is the low level of foreign (English) language skills. Under current conditions, foreign (English) language should not be considered as a secondary discipline, but as a necessary instrument of professional activity, as academic and labor mobility, common international educational standards, joint international research and production activities are impossible without a high level of knowledge of foreign (English) language.
