Abstract:
XXI century has put new challenges to the science and society in the field of education, training and transferring of accumulated scientific knowledge, technology, and cultural traditions. Old forms, that emerged many years and even centuries ago, today do not correspond to the current civilization level. A new ones, that would integrate the achievements of scientific and technological revolution and computer information technology, still can’t constructively combine existing technical capacity with the developments in the humanities field (linguistics, pedagogy, methodology, psychology and psycholinguistics), due to completely different language to describe the subject areas, used tools and methods, the complexity of the organization and coordination of interdisciplinary projects.

The Visual Meta-language and Systems Analysis tools is an integrating framework for the harmonization of terminology, methods, procedures and structures, as a link between theory and practice, IT and humanities field.

The most important area of application visualization tools is linguistics. The imposition of tools of analysis of linguistic phenomena beyond the system under study, ie, natural language, was a very promising way of research. Development of visual meta-language and the use of the tools of mathematical, structural and visual analysis is a new trend in language research, study of mental processes based on it, and in developing new methods of learning and languages acquisition.

This is especially true in today's globalized world with increased mobility of people, a huge number of international and cross-cultural communication and relationships, and grew out of the problems of integration in the different culture of immigrants, refugees.
The proposed approach makes it possible to separate the structure of knowledge from the words of the language and move the meanings into the intermediate sign system, Visual Meta-language.

We have a conceptual solution in the form of the training system that allows to manage the process of formation of language and work skills of adults.

This system combines: the methodical principles, grounded in the works of P. Galperin and A. Bandura; the Visual Models, that creating a synergetic effect, both in the initial phase of mastering a foreign language, and at the stage of "barrier to overcome"; the use of the achievements of the IT industry as a tool for ensuring the implementation of learning objectives with continuous monitoring of the current status and receiving the guaranteed result of training in a finite number of steps.

This training system has the properties: the unity of the main goal of learning outcomes for all its elements; high stability of the entire system and the independent value of each element; correlation between the elements of the system, providing positive feedback in the process of formation of professional and language skills; properties of continuous assessment of the student's level of competence that allows the formation of logarithmic learning curve and compensates for background learning curve degradation towards an expected loss of competence; the ability to evaluate and compare the results of a similar educational systems and technologies as well as their individual components; platform-independent of any operating systems and programming languages, and invariant to the native language of the student and to the learning languages.
