Theoretical model of training the CLIL-teacher in the terms of the higher educational institutions

A theoretical model in the broadest sense is the representation of an object "in its pure form", its logical study and application of the gained knowledge to a given object.

With the help of the theoretical model, the transition from the abstract to the concrete is ensured, and as the movement from the theoretical model to the concrete the greatest content and completeness of knowledge is achieved, since in this case the object raised to a high degree of abstractness when compared with a concrete reality manifests itself from different sides. The theoretical model not only provides a transition from the abstract to the cognition of the concrete, but also through the generalization of specific sides opens the way to the abstract [1].

The modeling procedure as an objective and universal epistemological procedure is widely used in pedagogy [2]. The analysis of the object is based on certain systems of principles and concepts, the most important of which in pedagogy are education, upbringing, and training. Models are used either as a research device for the presentation of the studied pedagogical object with the aim of explaining it, studying it, clarifying it; or as a tool allowing on the basis of the analysis of the model representation of a pedagogical object to influence its construction or functioning. Our case is related to the second one, when our theoretical model will allow us to build the process of preparing a CLIL-teacher in the conditions of the university, which serves as an object of our modeling.

According to the classification of E.A. Solodova and Y.P. Antonova in the pedagogical models can identify the model of "macrolevel", which determine the concept of the development of the education system, and the model of the "average" level, "modeling the quality of education at the output of a particular institution" [3]. In this sense, the theoretical model being developed by us refers to the average level; let's call it the "meso level".

Based on the theory of the holistic pedagogical process of N.D Khmel, which represents a two-pronged process of education and upbringing, our model takes into account the principles and main provisions of multilingual education and multicultural education, where CLIL-technology acts as an innovative model of organization the educational process of the university, when the assessment of factors are intersubjective communications and pedagogical integration. At the same time, we intend to reflect the intensity of pedagogical interaction between the teacher and the trainee; degree of integration of theoretical education with the practical activities of the future teacher; degree of organizational-methodological support and control of independent work of students from the side of the university.

From the set of definitions and directions of theoretical modeling in pedagogy, we are impressed by the position of S.I. Arkhangelsky, who under the model of the educational process understands the "mental mapping of the structure and relationships of the process being studied" [4]. Since learning is a two-way process, including teaching and learning, the procedural aspect of learning can be related to the modeling of teaching, the modeling of teaching and the modeling of pedagogical interaction [5].

The foregoing assumes that in the modeling of the educational process the use of a systematic approach which allows a holistic description of the process of education and upbringing. Consequently, our model has a socio-pedagogical character, which takes into account the mutual influence of the processes of education and upbringing. At the same time, we represent the pedagogical process after N.E Kuzmina as a phenomenon that is inherent: the unity and independence of the processes of education, upbringing, development; their integrity and subordination; the presence of a common (they all lead to one goal - the formation of the personality) and the preservation of the specific (learning impacts on the intellectual sphere, and education - on the motivational and emotional) [6].

It is also interesting for us the opinion of scientists who distinguish three levels of pedagogical modeling: 1) in a broad sense as a resource for creating new knowledge in the forms of traditional and innovative reproduction, facilitating the realization of ideas and conditions for obtaining modern education in the interests of man and the state; 2) in the narrow sense as a kind of pedagogical activity aimed at finding the optimal conditions and possibilities for creating various pedagogically popular models and means for solving a particular problem or problem of modern pedagogical practice; 3) in the local sense as a method of scientific and pedagogical research [7].

In developing the theoretical model for the preparation of the CLIL-teacher in the terms of the higher educational institutions, we were guided by the following principles:

1) the principle of adaptability and relevance of knowledge CLIL-technology for students in pedagogical specialties 5В011000-Physics, 5В011100-Informatics, 5В011200-Chemistry, 5В011300-Biology and 5В011900-Foreign language: two foreign languages. There is no doubt that the interdisciplinary approach, implemented in the subject-language integration, replaces the subject-disciplinary approach in teaching foreign languages and disciplines on the specialty. It is important for future teachers to understand that this approach is extremely important for the development of their abilities to live and work in the international scientific and business community. In addition, the observance of this principle determines the formulation of problems aimed at the development of socially and professionally significant personality traits, which are an integral component in the model of the CLIL-teacher;

2) the principle of health-saving preparation of the future CLIL-teacher, included in the active search for conditions and means of quality provision of educational services in schools in modern Kazakhstan. This principle of modeling determines the formulation of the task of educating those qualities of the personality of the CLIL-teacher, which are necessary for him to perform the second labor function, namely, the educator. In addition, this principle also means, when teaching students, the creation of conditions contributing to the successful adaptation of the individual to changes in the domestic educational system and the labor system, as well as providing access to the best educational resources;

3) the principle of taking into account the individual characteristics of the student and the peculiarities of the Kazakh trilingual education. This principle of modeling determines the formulation of the tasks a) the formation of the culture and ethics of the CLIL-teacher's teamwork, his internal motivation for learning, abilities for productive self-expression and self-realization of the future CLIL-teacher, with considering the real level of his language training (target languages); b) the consideration of cultural appropriateness, which in CLIL-technology is conditioned by the peculiarities of multilingual and multicultural education; c) forming the readiness of the future CLIL-educator to use both traditional and innovative forms, methods, tools, teaching technologies;

4) the principle of the formation of a culture of independent work of students in various areas of cooperation, interaction and self-realization. This principle of modeling the pedagogical process focuses on the development of programs for independent work of students of pedagogical specialties as a necessary part of mastering CLIL-technology, development of language and subject competencies of the future CLIL-teacher.

The above principles we have chosen based on the experience of N.A.Kozyrev and O.A.Kozyreva.

In general, during the developing of the theoretical model of the required preparation, we took into account the relevant experience of a number of scientists [8,9,10,11,12,13] and proceeded from the fact that theoretical models have a conceptual, prescriptive character.

* Explanations to figure 8: tasks of type "A" are closed test tasks with the choice of one correct answer; tasks of type "B" are open test tasks; tasks of type "C" are case-tasks. Assignments of type "A" are estimated at 1 point, assignments of type "B" are estimated at 6 points, assignments of type "C" are estimated at 60 points.

The goal of the CLIL-teacher training at a university is transformed into the expected result, the image of which is detailed in the form of a system of competences, which are developed according to the labor functions of the CLIL-teacher.

Since the Kazakhstani model of trilingual education focuses on teaching of four subjects in the natural-mathematical cycle in English, we specifically pointed out the pedagogical specialties, the graduates of which will teach these subjects in schools, namely: 5B011000-Physics, 5В011100-Informatics, 5В011200-Chemistry, and 5В011300-Biology. Undoubtedly, we have included here the educational process of the pedagogical specialty 5B011900-Foreign language: two foreign languages.

Tasks in the pedagogical goal setting are, as a rule, step-by-step actions for achieving the goal. In our model, this step-by-step algorithm represents enlarged blocks of tasks that are formulated in accordance with the three components of the CLIL teacher training: motivational-value, content and operational. And it would be wrong to believe that these tasks are consistent in implementation and isolated from each other.

They are successive and logically interconnected as much as the process of preparation can be integral. The objectives of the formation of value attitudes, interest and motivation for students in CLIL- education are inseparable from the development of their skills and skills in the application of CLIL-technology in professional activities, which are being implemented in the development and implementation of the methodology for the preparation of the CLIL teacher in the educational process of the pedagogical specialties indicated by us. We deliberately formulated this problem, as the theoretical model is appropriate only if it is detailed and projected into the real practice of education.

If the goal and tasks reflected in the presented theoretical model are subordinated to the principles of pedagogical modeling, then the training principles themselves, being logically interconnected with the principles of modeling, are subordinated to the tasks of the required preparation.

Without dwelling in detail on the methods (the optimality of their combination is due to their correspondence to the principles of the required preparation), we will give some explanations for the means as the most specific didactic units for the preparation of the CLIL-teacher in the conditions of the university. Among them the largest is the elective course syllabus "CLIL-technology" for the 3rd year, in which the basic content of the CLIL-teacher training is formalized. This elective course, according to our plan, should be developed and introduced the specialties 5B011000-Physics, 5B011100-Informatics, 5B011200-Chemistry, 5B011300-Biology, namely the methods of teaching chemistry / physics / biology / computer science as a prerequisite for the basic discipline. And with the support of the content of this elective course to adapt, make appropriate adjustments to the Model Curricula on the methodology according to the specificity of teaching chemistry, physics, and biology and computer science. At the same time, we consider it advisable to make these adjustments as a whole section of the basic discipline that should be developed by the teachers of these disciplines in conjunction with the teacher of the proposed elective course, the development of the latter is the prerogative of the teacher of a foreign language, more precisely English, because he teaches not only a foreign language (in the cycle of the GED), but also the discipline "Profession-Oriented Foreign Language."

In general, the theoretical model of the CLIL-teacher training is built with considering the peculiarities of the Kazakh trilingual education.
