ENGLISH TEACHING PECULIARITIES OF ART STUDENTS ON
«FINE ARTS»
SPECIALTY AT KHMELNYTSKYI HUMANITARIAN PEDAGOGICAL ACADEMY
Modern higher education requires from prospective professionals’ training
competitive ability, which has been identified not only by thorough
professional knowledge and skills of its use but also by the preparedness for
professional tasks and problem solving in foreign language communication, by
the ability to integrate easily into the world education common space.
The aim of the article is to analyze the peculiarities of English language teaching at art specialties at institutions of higher learning, in particular the content, methods and
techniques on the specialty Fine Arts at Khmelnytskyi Humanitarian Pedagogical Academy.
The question of professionally oriented study of foreign languages in
Ukraine has been analyzed by a great number of researchers: H. Bakaeva,
O.Borysenko, I.Zuenok, V.Ivanishcheva, L.Zapotochna, S.Kozak, A.Chernushych et
al. S.Ivashniova, A.Kunakova have studied the problem of professionally
oriented study of foreign languages in Ukrainian Arts Institutions of higher
learning, although the more detailed research is required.
The content of English
for Professional Purposes course is to deal with students’ professional interests, provide them with the ability of
professional growth. Professional training of prospective Fine Arts Teachers,
Advertisement Designers, and Designers of Environments etc. on
Arts Faculties implies the
development of such communicative skills, which will enable to carry out
contacts in English in their professional field of activity. Person oriented and communicative approach to the foreign language
teaching with the aim of professional communicative competence formation are
oriented on the development and improvement of all types of speech activity:
reading, speaking, writing and listening.
English for Professional Purposes course is designated for the Bachelor degree
students of the 1-st and 2-nd years of study on the Arts Faculty on 6.020205 Fine Arts* Specialty. Course content
facilitates student’s achievement of the B2 level of language mastering and
Bachelor degree acquisition, according to Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and requirements of the Curriculum English for Specific Purposes in force. The practical
character of the course helps students to acquire professional and functional
communicative competence in English
language use giving them the opportunity to develop professional speech
competence (linguistic, sociocultural, pragmatic) and strategies necessary for
effective participation on the professional foreign language situations. That can
be done via language and speech skills integration in thematic and situational
context according to the students’ academic and professional spheres.
The quality of English mastering is greatly affected by motivation, therefore at the beginning of
the course students are to realize clearly that English knowledge helps them to
develop mental potential development, outlook broadening, professional growth,
successful career promotion, gives the chance to continue study abroad,
unrestricted access to the information in the Internet. The basic textbook is Hlushok L. M.
(2015) English For Art Students.
For the
communicative skills development and vocabulary enrichment, we use the
following professionally oriented texts Outstanding
British painters, Galleries and museums of London, The Chinese paint landscapes
for spiritual inspiration, Renaissance, Italy witnesses an explosion of
artistic excellence, The impressionists change the way artists paint the world
around them, The emergence of Cubism marks a revolution in Western art, Leonardo
da Vinci, Goya: Black Paintings, The Barcelona of Gaudi, The Temples in
Ukraine, The Masterpieces of
Ukrainian Icon Painting, The National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture.
Each text is supplemented with proper terms (e.g: chiaroscuro, etching, Romanesque, crimson, in the foreground, flower piece, canvas, sketch etc.) and exercises to activate student’s
creative attitude, motivate for independent search (discussions, presentations,
brainstorming, projects, round-table conference, information search in the
Internet). After text reading students fulfill many comprehensive and reproductive
exercises, tasks for the profession monologue and dialogue speech skills
development. Simultaneously the tasks
for listening skills development and basic grammar are suggested. There are tasks
that teach students to summarize the information and render it in the form of
summary, annotation and essay. Authentic sources of literature and electronic
periodicals, EDMODO social learning platform website for checking students’
individual work and tasks for self-study, educational authentic English video
and audio podcasts have been widely used.
With the help of
students we also compiled an English-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-English glossary
of the widely used art terms which is very useful in compilation of vocabulary
lists for the given topics. Interactive forms of activity during the lessons
are very welcomed by students, e.g. individual and group projects with PPt
presentations, virtual thematic tours in famous galleries and sightseeing
places. The students also like crossword and puzzle tasks to the texts, writing
essays on the urgent topics, writing invitations, E-mail letters, online blank
and form filling tasks. Many different didactic language games, role games are
used on the English lessons. During the role games students act various
professional roles (guide, tourist, gallery owner etc.)
In conclusion,
professional foreign language competence is the constituent part of foreign
language communicative competence on a level with linguistic, sociocultural,
strategic ones. Professional foreign language communicative competence
formation of students of the art higher learning institutions is provided by
means of the study content, its thematic structure, professional communicative
orientation. Professionally oriented texts, professional glossaries
compilation, making up dialogues, group projects and presentations, virtual
role tours carrying out, discussions, round tables and other interactive
technologies contribute to this greatly. Peculiarities of the professional
listening skills formation, IC technologies use require some further research
and investigations.
