FEATURES OF TEACHING ENGLISH TO STUDENTS OF GEOLOGY
Abstract: this article discusses the features of the development of English language teaching methods and their impact on the training of students of geologists. A cross-sectional and comparative analysis of the influence of the choice of the direction of development of teaching a foreign language has been carried out. Recommendations on the implementation of developments in education are given.
Keywords: analysis, method, research, English, teaching, education.
Nowadays fluent knowledge of English is an urgent necessity both for scientists and production specialists. The sphere of geology is not an exception - after all the laws of nature are the same regardless of borders of the state and for better understanding and use for development of mankind it is necessary to communicate and exchange experience internationally.
The basis of communication is listening (understanding of perceived speech), it begins with the mastery of communication. The more we listen, the better we speak the language, and the more we speak, the better we understand speech. According to recent research, it has been proven that (a) immersion in a foreign language causes neuroplasticity in the adult brain, (b) the degree of change is proportional to language experience, and (c) different ways of language immersion have stronger effects on different brain regions and on different constructs. Studies have found that listening has the strongest effect on the brain areas responsible for speech production. Whereas speaking affects the parts of the brain responsible for speech perception.
Within the communicative approach to teaching a foreign language, the main goal of teaching listening is for students to reach an understanding of natural speech of native speakers of different territorial variants and dialects. Perception and understanding of such speech is associated with difficulties, the main of which are areas with a fast rate of pronunciation, abounding with various modifications of vowels and consonants.
Why is the study of speech phonetics and pronunciation so important for listening and for learning a foreign language in general? D.B. Nikulicheva in her research on the linguistic and psychological strategies of polyglots explains the importance of learning pronunciation as follows: "Observing the linguistic behavior of polyglots you become convinced that they are all extremely demanding about the quality of their pronunciation in any of their languages. Because every polyglot knows: the more accurately you imitate the pronunciation of a native speaker, the more well you understand them. Pronunciation and listening comprehension are two sides of the same coin.
We decided to use video lectures by American geoscientists as authentic listening material. Lecture discourse is a means by which information exchange takes place both in the academic environment and in other professional contexts. The advantage of lecture discourse is the wide reach of the audience. In addition, lecture discourse is characterized by the active use of topic-specific terminology and various ways of interpreting it. After training of listening on the example of geological lectures students and geologists will have an opportunity of free communication both in the academic environment at the international conferences, and when solving production issues in the course of experience exchange with foreign colleagues. An additional motivation for the students while working with the exercises will be the acquisition of new knowledge in the field of geology.
An example of a unit based on the video lecture "The Structure of Mountain Belts: The Swiss Alps". Keywords: Rock deformation, mountain belts, to collide with, plate tectonics, crustal shortening, Indian subcontinent, to subduct, thrust faults, mantle, tectonic history, collision, collisional boundaries, continental crust, oceanic crust, continental blocks, mountain building activity, stratigraphy, incumbent folds, recumbent folds, sedimentary rocks, metamorphism, metamorphic rocks, granitic plutons, geological map, cross sections, mapping, Nappe structure, the steep mountainsides, ductility. Proper names: the Swiss Alps, the Indian subcontinent, Asia, the Himalayan Mountains, Eurasia, the Appalachians, Austria, the Alpine chain, the Middle East, the Miocene, the Molasse Trough, the Helvetic, the Brianconnais, the Piemont, the Glarus Nappe, Italy, France, the Sesia Lanzo zone, the African plate, the Foreland.
Questions
Task: Express your views on the following issues using the vocabulary of the keywords list.
1 We could trust the geological interpretations, if they are based on really detailed mapping.
2 Mountain belts display clear evidence of extensive crustal shortening.
3 Although mountain belts are to some extent unique, they display characteristic structures, that develop during or at genesis.
4 The deformation of rocks is a consequence of their ductility, this is a property of rocks, in other words, rocks can flow.
5 Mountain belts are explicable by plate tectonics.
Many years of work with this technique show a significant increase in text comprehension detail and in the efficiency of processing audio and audio-visual English information in general.
