Abstract

The article examines the issue of readiness of gymnasium students for competence-oriented learning of foreign language communication. Didactic-methodical concepts of the problem are studied in the context of the content of the educational foreign language communicative environment as a kind of educational space, which contributes to the comprehensive acquisition by students of the experience of integrated mastering of foreign language communication and the culture of the country whose language is studied.

The author claims that the achievement of such goals requires students to have a certain readiness that would enable them to successfully perform foreign language communicative actions aimed at forming in them the key and subject competencies outlined in the current curriculum for the appropriate age category, within the scope of the specified topics of the covered by the language and speech materials acquired. The author considers the formation of readiness as a system of certain influences on the student’s personality and on his/her ability to learn the linguistic aspects of a foreign language, to master the mechanisms of communication in oral and written forms, and offers his own definition of this concept. Such abilities are studied taking into account the psychophysiological characteristics of students and in accordance with the level of foreign language communicative and general educational experience acquired by them at the previous stages of education.

In the article, the author defines, substantiates and presents the components of the content of the preparedness studied by him and interprets their features in the context of competence-oriented teaching of foreign language communication of gymnasium students. On the basis of the obtained empirical results of the conducted research, the means of its formation are proposed.
