In a course of the research work the first classification of continuity elements has been proposed. The collected data included theoretical and empirical studies discussing continuity in teaching writing process. By limiting the search area to the request of ‘writing continuity’ in Volter and E-library science databases it has become possible to single out the works dealing with school and university levels. The analysis of the chosen literature has shown no unification in drawing the term of continuity. The suggested classification of continuity elements has become an attempt to generalize the practices which are used for optimizing the teaching process. Also, further research paths of studying the concept of writing continuity have been proposed. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.23.2 372.881.111.1 writing secondary school higher education writing competence elementary fl writing competence continuity https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2017.10.2/ VMP23-15-21.pdf

The article proves that the observance of these principles allows to form the key professional competences indicated by normative documents as the basis of the content of modern education: the willingness of students to work with information in a variety of sources –universal instrumental competencies; the ability to use various forms of education and information and educational technologies (based on modularity, hypertext technology and multimedia) – the competence of self-education; readiness and ability for individual and independent work – the competence of individual work; ability and readiness for social interaction (discussions at seminars) – competence of activity and communication. Following these principles allows solving many modern didactic targets during teaching semiotics: to develop critical thinking skills of students in conditions of working with various information; to create their skills of independent work with educational material using information technologies; to create skills of self-education and reflection; to develop the ability to formulate tasks and to solve it cooperatively; to create self-management and self-study skills. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.23.3 371.315.014.3 professional competence modularity multimedia electronic didactic materials hypertext technologies independent work https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2017.10.3/ VMP23-22-28.pdf

The manual contains the same topics as the main textbook. It can be used by students in preparation for the oral exam; in which analyzing quotes is one of the tasks. The first section of the manual describes all the stages of the quotation analysis. It also includes a sample multi-step analysis of a quote which can be used by students with other quotes. Each of the other sections contains five quotations corresponding to the topics of the basic textbook. One of the quotes from each section contains questions and quests, examples of films, videos and literary works illustrating the topic. The manual includes opposite points of view in order to stimulate a discussion. It also provides additional vocabulary for each section and biographical information about the authors of the utterances. The manual can be used both for self-education in the process of independent work, and for language practice in pairs and small groups. It was tested in two groups of linguistic majors. In the first group the students did all the assignments by answering the questions from the book in front of the teacher and the other students. In the other group the students were divided into pairs or small groups, which included students with different levels of foreign language mastery, who were supposed to analyze the quotations together. In the group in which students performed the assignments in the process of collaboration the average examination score was higher than in the group working with the teacher. The results of the testing the book in the groups of students demonstrate that the collaborative quotation analysis is more effective than performing the assignments in turns in front of the teacher and the other students due to the additional language practice that students receive whilst discussing the quotations. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.23.6 372.881.1 manual quotation analysis basic course book oral exam discussion collaborative revision https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2017.10.6/ VMP23-46-55.pdf

The concept of listening comprehension as a receptive type of speech activity existing in the methodology of teaching a foreign language is considered. The subject of research in this article is the use of video materials at a foreign language class. The expediency of using video materials at foreign language classes as a means of intensifying the learning process and giving it the maximum communicative orientation is underlined. Video listening comprehension is a lighter version of ordinary listening comprehension, because the video helps students to guess what is happening on the screen and understand the situation better. Watching video is more interesting for students than ordinary listening comprehension practice, since watching a video fragment increases the students’ cognitive interest. They are more likely to participate in the discussions of the fragment being watched. Due to the creation of the favorable foreign language classroom atmosphere, video listening comprehension enhances the students’ motivation to learn a foreign language. The pilot experiment conducted to reveal the students’ attitude to video listening comprehension showed their obvious preference to this type of educational activity. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.23.7 372.881.111.1 teaching listening comprehension video listening comprehension video materials questionnaire student opinions questioning https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2017.10.7/ VMP23-56-67.pdf
