Teaching resources in professionally oriented foreign language learning

Abstract

This problem is important because it is necessary to improve the methodical and didactic perspective of specialists' professional language learning process at an organization. The purpose of the article is to consider the role of a study aid as one of the methodical and didactic tools in the system of skills development. Research methods of abstract analysis, methodical and didactic sampling, modeling, forecasting were used. Significant criteria for a study aid structure have been identified to develop the personnel's dominant foreign language communicative skills at an organization. The object of the research is study guide materials providing the process of professionally oriented language learning. The subject of the research is study aids forming the professional foreign language competence of economists and technical specialists (on the material of the German language). The study has revealed that we should abandon the idea of existence of universal, effective methods of teaching a foreign language and attempts to develop an "ideal" study aid solving all methodical and didactic problems. This applies not only to educational materials on teaching German as a foreign language, developed in Russia, but to original ones published in Germany.
