Purposes and Axiology of Vocational-Oriented Foreign Language Education in Higher Military Educational Institutions
Abstract
The relevance of the purpose setting of teaching a foreign language in military institutions of higher education is related to the need for high-quality language training of military specialists due to the processes of society globalization.
The purpose of the study is to substantiate the goals and axiological aspects of vocational-oriented foreign language education and to reveal the linguistic potential of the subject "foreign language" in a higher military school.
Objectives of the work are to determine the goals of foreign language training; conduct a questionnaire of students in military institutions of higher education; to identify areas of application of a foreign language by military experts; to build a model for the purpose of teaching a foreign language at a military higher school.
The methodology is based on a system-categorical approach. Theoretical methods such as the analysis of scientific literature, triadic two-level decryption and contradiction schemes, as well as empirical methods of questionnaire of students, and statistical methods of data processing were applied.
Results. Three main areas of application of a foreign language are identified: language for special purposes, language for general purposes and language for individual purposes. The surveys of students showed that the importance of a foreign language at a higher military school is highly appreciated for the comprehensive development of the individual and professional competencies, as well as for improving the information and communication skill needed in the modern world. The main contradiction in the motivation and goal of learning a foreign language is between the need to learn a language for equal intercultural communication and the knowledge of the language of the alleged opponent.
Conclusion. The axiological justification of foreign-language education in a higher military school on the basis of taking into account the lingual-didactic potential of a foreign language, as well as the targeted and value-motivating attitudes of students, allows us to determine the goals of foreign-language education in accordance with the current requirements of society and improve the quality of language training of a modern military specialist. Due to the characteristics of universality and "futility," a foreign language can serve as the basis for inter-subject integration and the development of intercultural communication.
