Practical Application of the Audio Component of Media Education in Order to Socialise the Students as an Individuals in the Postmodern World

Abstract

The socialisation of (foreign) students is an important component of the social work of a higher education institution. The postmodern world requires the individual to be competitive in academia as well as socially and economically, which requires appropriate training. Such training can be achieved through linguistic and counselling activities that will enable the individual to perform effective interactions in academic and social spaces. To conduct a comprehensive study, we used a set of methods, including analysis (helping to divide the processes of socialisation and media education into areas and components), synthesis (allowing to combine the elements under consideration into a single system), axiomatic method (aimed at designating certain parameters of the study), deduction (conducting research from a general system to specific elements), induction (studying the element application algorithm to form a single system), abstraction (specifying the directions and components of the study in accordance with a given goal), comparison (facilitating the consideration of the components of media education in the context of general socialisation and linguistic training). Thus, the purpose of this article is to analyse the use of the audio component of media education in the socialisation of the student as an individual in the postmodern world. We have come to the conclusion that the audio component of media education is used by higher education institutions as an auxiliary tool for linguistic training (building skills for the use of rhythm, intonation, grammar features during interpersonal interactions as part of individual activities or work in specialised language laboratories; using audio lectures, which is relevant for foreign students who find it difficult to perceive colloquial academic speech) and counselling (counselling activities in specialised psychological recovery laboratories; the use of musical tracks to restore emotional and behavioural balance) of the individual.
