ACTUALIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL AND INDUSTRY COMPETENCE IN THE MASTER'S DEGREE PROGRAM FOR THE TRAINING OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHERS (BASED ON AVIATION ENGLISH)

Abstract

In the era of globalization and the expansion of international relations in various fields, including aviation, high demands are placed on the level of proficiency in English as a means of professional communication. The article describes the scale of the level of aviation English according to the requirements of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Aviators working in this field need to master level IV, so they have access to work (six levels in total). In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the problem of training aviators to speak FL (foreign language) at the ICAO level requires the training of a FL teacher who would know the metalanguage of aviators. Therefore, this article contains a study on the preparation of such teachers in the master's program who would receive a specific module of FL integrating the knowledge of FL within the framework of ICAO. To implement this module, level IV was studied within the framework of ICAO, through the Pilot – ATC channel. The article discusses exercises in a foreign language on modeling the conditions of professional communication. During the lessons, students are offered to reconstruct fragments of flight stages, as well as analyze the interaction of crew members and an ATC, which contributes to the professional development of students. In addition, on the basis of contextual technology, the ways of forming the professional and sectoral competence of future foreign language teachers are considered. The purpose of the article is to consider the basic concepts related to the formation of professional and industry competence based on contextual technology and to provide a theoretical justification for the structure and content of aviation English content, taking into account the task of optimizing the process of teaching a professionally oriented language. For this purpose, the study was conducted with undergraduates of the pedagogical educational program, who passed a questionnaire before the examination. The article presents the results of this survey, which allow us to make some generalizations.
