The conceptual basis for such reorganization could be provided by the new knowledge paradigm of discipline synthesis. For professional training at the tertiary level the most promising idea seems to be disciplines integration, in particular, that of the major subjects and foreign language instruction. In this case the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) naturally suggests itself. Though it is not soon to be widely introduced due to the lack of specialists, it can effectively be used alongside English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) when a language teacher works with students of different technical major subjects and language levels. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.20.1 372.881.111.1 foreign language methodology discipline synthesis content and language integrated learning (CLIL) English for specific purposes (ESP) English as a medium of instruction (EMI) https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2017.7.2/ VMP20-10-18.pdf

The authors give a brief account of MOOC history and development. They also make an attempt to explain the reasons for the rapid growth in MOOCs’ popularity, on the one hand, and escalating criticism by MOOCs’ opponents, on the other hand. Statistics collected from scientific publications demonstrate the explosive growth in the numbers of MOOCS and students on MOOCs for the last 5 years. The goal of the research was to study the MOOC phenomenon and discuss the most prospective ways of MOOC integration into the curriculum of Linguistics students seeking Master degree at the Institute of Humanities of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Taking into account the detailed analysis of the educational technology faults and analysis of courses relevant to the Linguistics Master students’ curriculum offered on different MOOC platforms, the authors do not find it advisable to integrate the MOOCs into regular University academic process with the aim of substituting classroom learning. However, MOOCs can be recommended as an informational resource for project work, term papers, master thesis, lifelong learning, and as a source of supplementary materials for the curricular courses. Open Educational Resources (OER) are considered as a viable alternative to MOOCs. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.20.2 004.738.5: 378.026 massive open online course МООС system of higher education criteria of MOOC quality assessment alternatives to MOOCs https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2017.7.3/ VMP20-19-28.pdf

In this connection, the authors of the article set the task of studying new possibilities for using the already known didactic method - the project method - in the educational process of higher school at the present stage. The authors analyzed the fundamental differences between the project method and the project technology, as well as clarified concepts such as «project activities» and «project teaching» because in modern pedagogical literature these concepts quite often replace each other. Drawing on the projects typology that has already become traditional in the methodology, the authors have specified the project types in accordance with the stages of teaching students in the university. The authors stated that in the context of teaching cross-cultural communication, the content of the projects will depend on the students’ field of study. Along with the revealed advantages of using the possibilities of the project method in the educational process in higher school, the authors of the article identified a number of restrictions to its application. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.20.3 378.147 teaching technologies clip thinking project method project technology project teaching cross-cultural communication https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2017.7.4/ VMP20-29-36.pdf

Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University Mozgacheva Ekaterina A. mrkate12@gmail.com Teaching translation techniques based on fantasy literature The paper discusses teaching translation techniques analysis to university students. This aspect is traditionally included into translation and interpretation training curriculum. Translators’ professional skills include identifying translation techniques while comparing original texts and their translations, the ability to explain their usage and to prove the reason for translating techniques usage in their own translations. At the same time some difficulties may appear, particularly due to low motivation of students. To raise students’ motivation and interest the fantasy works are suggested to be used as a source of translation techniques used to convey words with no particular equivalents. There are a lot of occasional words (or nonce words) in the fantasy texts and the same translating techniques as for the scientific and technical texts are used to convey them. This makes it possible to use fantasy texts and their translations as the examples for teaching analysis of the translating techniques used to convey words without any particular equivalents. The paper offers the exercises for identifying and analyzing translating techniques, composed on the basis of the novel by J.K. Rowling “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” and its translation into Russian. Drawing on the survey of students’ opinions, it has been concluded that including such exercises into translation training courses can be effective. This paper is aimed at translation trainers at universities and institutions of additional education, students, professional translators and everyone interested in the translating issues. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.20.6 378.147:811 translating techniques translating text analysis translation teaching exercise on translation fantasy https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2017.7.7/ VMP20-53-60.pdf

In the control groups the students studied texts on economics from newspapers and magazines autonomously. The students in the experimental groups worked collaboratively with the texts from the textbook written in the CLIL format. The test conducted at the end of the experiment illustrated that Content and Language Integrated approach combined with students’ collaboration is more effective in training students for a foreign language examination than conventional autonomous work with professionally orientated texts. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.20.7 37.046.14 test experiment content and language integrated learning textbook in CLIL format working collaboratively professionally-orientated text training for the examination https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2017.7.8/ VMP20-62-71.pdf
