FROM THE EXPERIENCE TO ADAPT COMMUNICATIVE TECHNOLOGY OF TEACHING PHYSICS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN A PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The article describes experience of applying adapt a technology of communicative education for students studying Physics in the English language in a pedagogical institute. In the context of the modern paradigm of education and the strengthening of globalization processes, an important factor in the successful activity of a teacher, along with subject hard skills, soft skills have become in demand for effective intercultural communications. Concurrently, the issue of increasing language level and quality of mastering different special disciplines is becoming relevant. Along with that, according to our research, quality of basic disciplines and foreign languages taught is directly dependent on efficiency of applied technologies of education. In educational practice of teaching foreign languages technology of communicative education, developed by Ye.I.Passov, has proved itself as a sufficient one due to the activation of students’ cognitive activity through the direct application of knowledge and skills in the communicative process in a collaborative environment. The aim of the research is to adapt Ye.I Passov’s technology to teach Physics in English based on the construction of didactic content in Physics using tasks of a communicative-cognitive nature. The results of the research are as follows; adapted technology has contributed to increase efficiency of students’ acquisition of studying Physics in English and enhanced the level of their competencies in mastering intercultural communications.

Experiment to apply the results of the research was held within the Educational Program «Physics» in Pavlodar Pedagogical University named after A.Margulan. The given approach to study Physics and developing linguistic competences on the basis of creating a collaborative environment on the lessons via communicative technology allows to increase efficiency of grasping knowledge in Physics in the English language and to improve the level of competence among students in order to master English. In the near term, these technologies can be applied in teaching other Physical disciplines in the English language.
