Innovative approaches in teaching a second foreign language

The article is devoted to the questions
of innovative approaches inteaching a
second foreign language. After
analyzing the learning situation and
using some research from specialists
some practical advice is given for the
teachers to more effectively organize
the learning process.
Teaching a foreign language at a
university has its own peculiarities
connected with the need to implement
the principles of a professionallyoriented approach to learning.
Teaching two foreign languages at the
Faculty of Philology is a long-standing
tradition that acquires new features,
adapts to modern conditions and varies
in different higher educational
institutions. However, the study of the
second foreign language demands an
innovative approach and requires in our
opinion a thorough study. Nowadays,
when students so often hear English on
television, radio, when they see that
English is the language of international
communication, they usually have the
desire to learn English – they have a
motive. So, when studying a second
foreign language, the teacher must be
able to develop the same motives for
students, to cause interest,
encouragement and desire. Therefore,
the task of the teacher is to target
students to work independently to
master the second foreign language.
An indispensable condition for the
effectiveness of the learning process of
the second foreign language is its
cognitive and communicative character,
which implies a conscious
assimilation.When teaching a second
foreign language, it is very important to
use modern educational technologies,
and this requires both study guides and
the intensity of the learning process, for
example: problem learning; collective
training; multilevel learning; research
methods of teaching; design training
methods; technology of business, role
and other types of games; learning in
collaboration; distance learning
technology.
Thus, in teaching Englis as a second
foreign language there are certain
methodological features. However, at
any stage of learning, the main goal of
classes should be the communicative
development of students, which lays the
foundation for further self-improvement
in this language.
