Its objective is to comprehend the scientific developments in cultivating intercultural communicative competence among prospective educators, which have been acknowledged in the scientific realm. This understanding is central to the creation of a theoretical structure for the establishment of professionally focused communicative competence (PFCC) in prospective English university teachers. Despite the progressions in artificial intelligence, teaching professions remain crucial, as automated systems cannot substitute them entirely. The study utilizes analysis, synthesis, comparison, and generalization to comprehensively examine scientific and methodological literature, as well as European and national higher education regulations. It presents a categorical evaluation of «professionally focused communicative competence», which is a subcategory of «intercultural communicative competence». The current state of methodological foundations and scientific support of the process of formation of prospective university specialists’ intercultural communicative competence outlines the following problems: incomplete detailing in the professionally focused foreign language training of bachelors and masters of education; lack of a state standard of higher language education for the training of future teachers / university teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL); limitations of textbooks and manuals for students of the second (master’s) level of higher education. For the successful implementation of the researched training in scientific theory and practice there is an understanding of the need to design: a holistic concept of intercultural foreign language teaching across various  educational institutions, (proposed by S. Y. Nikolaieva), based on the principle of continuity; a foreign language training system for future educational specialists, taking into account the specifics of their specialty and further professional development, requirements for foreign language proficiency, needs of the rapidly changing labour market and, as a result, modernisation of professional training technologies, practical implementation of effective forms and methods of their training in the educational process of higher education institutions","PeriodicalId":513122,"journal":{"name":"The scientific and methodological journal \"Foreign Languages\"","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139391303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Forming pre-service English language teachers’ competence in critical reading through authentic short stories","authors":"H. Podosynnikova, Artem Priadka","doi":"10.32589/1817-8510.2023.4.295043","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32589/1817-8510.2023.4.295043","url":null,"abstract":"The article is devoted to the problem of developing critical reading competence and critical thinking skills of pre-service English language teachers by means of interactive teaching on the material of authentic short stories. The phenomenon of critical thinking is considered thoroughly, its definition is given, and its features are described. Critical thinking is defined as the process of using cognitive techniques and strategies with the purpose of skilful and active understanding and evaluation of observations, communication, information, and argumentation that increase the probability of obtaining the desired final result. The critical thinking skills are outlined, as well as the stages of their formation in correlation with the stages of interactive foreign language teaching. The definitions of critical reading and critical reading competence are worked out. It is established that critical reading is a process of reading which presupposes the use of reflection with the purpose of content evaluation and reasonable judgments in relation to it. Critical reading competence is defined as a person’s ability to read authentic texts of various genres with full understanding, analysis, and evaluation of their content; which is based on relevant abilities, skills, knowledge, and communication skills, in order to respond intelligently and adequately to what is read. The potential of using authentic short stories to develop critical reading competence of pre-service English language teachers has been explored. The difficulties of forming critical reading competence on the material of authentic short stories are considered. The methodology of teaching critical reading on the material of authentic short stories to pre-service English language teachers is suggested: the stages of developing critical reading skills are distinguished and described; the strategies and techniques of teaching critical reading on the material of authentic short stories with interactive method are presented.","PeriodicalId":513122,"journal":{"name":"The scientific and methodological journal \"Foreign Languages\"","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139391398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
