CURRENT APPROACHES TO TEACHING SPECIALIZED SUBJECTS IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Original language description

In the process of globalization and European integration different cultures more and more often meet face to face and the language is one of crucial means of mediation. Effective communication between representatives of different cultures can overcome language and cultural barriers. The terminology, various terms and definitions have to be unambiguously understood in all EU member countries. The mobility and cooperation between universities lead to strengthening and deepening intercultural relations. Students are more and more in contact with foreign environment and the need of professional foreign language teaching at universities is undeniable. It is very complicated to estimate how future graduates use the language in their professional and personal life. Therefore they should be prepared not only search for printed information but also to summarise, participate in professional discussions, make presentations of their work, handle their branch in a foreign language, ask questions, argue and manage persuading while working in business. The aim of teaching should consist in making a classroom communication as close as possible to real life communication. Possibility to study some special subjects in a foreign language is the best practice for students. They can expand their vocabulary, verify whether they understand the specific problem in a foreign language and are able to explain it later on to others and see that former theoretical language knowledge is applicable. Therefore, the students at the University of Defence are offered to study mathematics and physics in the English language; currently studying other specialised subjects in a foreign language is being prepared. Every student is given a chance to study in a foreign language; in fact, unfortunately, the chance is taken only by hardworking, ambitious students who are highly motivated and willing to be better prepared for their future careers, e.g., being able to participate in foreign missions, etc.
