Today from the university graduates required, besides professional
knowledge, such level of proficiency in a foreign language which will allow
students to be integrated successfully in the international community. Therefore
process of training in foreign languages in not language higher education
institutions began to carry the professional focused character. Therefore, the
process of teaching foreign languages in non-linguistic universities began to
be professionally oriented. Reorienting the goals of teaching a foreign
language at a university requires consideration of the options for the forms
and methods of teaching it [1]. The most important task of higher education is
the development of the aspiration of the individual to learn all his life,
updating and improving knowledge, skills in relation to the changing
conditions.
For the constant development of personality and the acquisition of
knowledge, we need motivation. Psychologists define this term thus: the
motivation is the motives causing activity of the personality and defining its
direction [3]. This definition connects three separate types of psychological
phenomena: first, motivation is viewed as an occasion that activates the
personality to meet the emerged needs; secondly, motivation is the reason for
choosing a certain direction of behavior; and, thirdly, motivation can be
viewed as a means self-control rights. So, one of the most important concepts
related to motivation are needs - a state of need in something. Any motivation
is based on the needs of the person and is aimed at satisfying them. All needs
can be divided into two categories: external and internal [4]. All requirements
can be divided into two categories: external and internal [4]. External refers
to organic needs (needs for food, sleep, etc.), internal - the material, social
and spiritual needs (the need for self-realization, love, study, etc.). The
next link in motivation is motive. Motivation is a behavioral manifestation of
a desire to satisfy one's needs. The behavior that is carried out, accordingly,
has a direction, and directed to the goal is a conscious result, which is
satisfied completely or partially, or not satisfied at all. All this enables us
to conclude that the motives differ from each other in the kind of need that is
inherent in them, the forms they accept, the breadth or narrowness, and also
the specific content of the activity in which they are realized. Complex
activities are, as a rule, not one, but several simultaneously acting and
interrelated motives, forming an extensive system of motivation for actions and
actions of a person [5]. The educational process is classified as a complex
activity, therefore there are a lot of motives for admission, and they can not
only manifest themselves separately in each person, but also merge into one,
forming complex motivational systems. For a long time, the motivation of
students has not been given due attention, but in fact it is one of the most
effective ways to improve the training process. Motives are the driving forces
of the training process. Motivation for training is a rather difficult and
ambiguous process of changing the attitude of the individual, both to a
particular subject of study, and to the entire educational process. Motives or,
in other words, the reasons that stimulate a person and encourage him to work
actively, can be very different. Classify the motivation in different ways, for
example, in the direction and content, the following types are distinguished.
1. Social motives (duty, responsibility, and understanding of the
importance of learning for the whole society).
2. Cognitive motives (the desire to know more in all subjects, become
erudite).
3. Professional-value motives (without knowledge there will be no
profession).
4. Aesthetic motives (from learning you get pleasure, reveal your hidden
abilities and talents).
5. Communicative motives (the opportunity to expand their circle of
communication by raising their intellectual level and new acquaintances).
6. Status-positional motives (aspiration through training or social
activity to establish him/her in
the society, in higher education institution, group, etc.).
7. Traditional historical motifs (established stereotypes that emerged
in society and strengthened over time).
8. Utilitarian and practical motives (the need to obtain a certificate
of education, which allows you to get a treasured workplace).
9. Educational and cognitive motives (the desire to learn a particular
subject of interest and learn to self-education) [2].
The effectiveness
of training depends to a large extent on the quality of teaching materials,
teaching aids and instructions. Training materials should include authentic
texts containing professionally relevant and regional information. They should
be designed in such a way that the student's work in the classroom is a logical
continuation of his independent work outside the classroom. The process of
preparing students puts before them two main tasks: first, to master the sum of
modern scientific knowledge and practical skills in this direction; second, to
be able to think creatively and solve various complex scientific and industrial
tasks.
The goal of teaching a foreign language is to develop students' skills
in the sphere of professional communication, to form a terminology base that
provides an understanding of the subject area and its use in reading and
writing. Conducting classes provides professional motivation when studying by
students of additional material on the subject area from English-language
sources. A decisive role in the motivation of students in the study of the
above discipline belongs to the teacher, who must not work with the student
"in general", but work with a specific personality, with his/her
strengths and weaknesses, with individual abilities and inclinations.
The formation of motivation in a foreign language affects the
self-education of students. Motivation is multifunctional, influences the
mastery of a foreign language, is a professional component of a modern
specialist, and contributes to his/her formation, promotion of the career
ladder, significance in modern society.
