Abstract:

This paper deals with the components of the competence model of a student realizing a research in the sphere of the future career in a foreign language. The paper analyses statistics that confirm the necessity of the development of the foreign language communicative research competence in the sphere of the future career of students in higher educational establishments. The foreign language communicative research competence combines the following components: foreign language communicative competence, intercultural competence, career-oriented research competence, competence of scientific communication and educational competence.
The authors of the article present the methodology of organising staged research work of students during their Bachelor degree program. On the one hand, any research work is organised according to specific stages. This paper gives seven stages of students’ research work. On the other hand, research work in higher educational establishments is realized in the form of formal and informal communication. These forms of scientific communication give an opportunity to identify the stages of the research work of students. This research work is realized in different forms during every year of education. It starts with short reports and presentations on the career-oriented topic; and develops into interdisciplinary project for a year and a half duration which unites the work of foreign language teacher, teachers of career-oriented disciplines and students. Moreover this project work may be continued as Master's research paper.
Analysis of statistics, psychological-pedagogical and methodological literature allowed the authors to determine the foreign language communicative research competence and the methods of their formation and development. Empirical methods include the questioning of students and teachers, the introduction of research results in teaching practice, the analysis of progress in the learning process, the mathematical processing of surveys, and the graphical presentation of the results.
This paper proves that the foreign language communicative research competence is multicomponent; the sequence of stages of a research work of students in a foreign language allows evaluating the formation of each component of the foreign language communicative research competence; the formation and development of the foreign language communicative research competence in professionally-oriented teaching of a foreign language is realized in the conditions of scientific communication in a foreign language; what finally increases motivation of students to study a foreign language and forms interdisciplinary links. The development of every component of the foreign language communicative research competence provides effective progress in the career of a graduate.
