Rereading “On communicative competence”: the sociocultural dimension

“Asian languages and Australia's economic future”: Rodney Cavalier's views examined

Privatization in the Asian‐Pacific Region

The purpose of our work is to check the effectiveness of the principle of systematic in the process of teaching professional foreign language to the engineering specialties. The laboratory work contains information lexical programs for the introduction of active lexical lessons, vocabulary and grammar exercises, and questions to the texts of lessons, designated for self-control and mutual control. The authors presented the results of the implementation of the system principle in the pedagogical process, namely the possibility of providing systematic construction of methodical literature and construction of intra subject links. The laboratory work, thanks to which there is an actualization and improvement of basic knowledge and skills, as well as the motivation of educational activity - is the form of realization of this principle. The students have an opportunity to demonstrate the independence in performing communicative actions in the professional sphere, provided by the program, to automate their skills, to conduct the self-study and self-monitoring of knowledge and skills, as well as to make their correction.

Training on professional foreign language for students of engineering specialties: implementation of electronic technology

In February 1994, the Coalition of Australian Governments (COAG) endorsed a report it commissioned in December 1992 on a policy prescription for the study of Asian Languages and Cultures in Australian schools. The acceptance of this report, Asian Languages and Australia's Economic Future (1994), referred to as the Rudd Report after the Chair of the Working Group, was significant. It offered a 15-year plan that aimed to produce an Asia-literate generation fluent and familiar with "export" Asian languages and cultures. In particular, students would have the opportunity to commence the study of one of four priority "export" Asian languages, namely, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian, and Chinese, in primary school. However, the Rudd Report’s emphasis on prioritising Asian languages for utilitarian reasons was opposed by those who advocated the study of European languages. This paper examines some of the assumptions about second language acquisition that the Rudd Report made and argues that greater emphasis should have been placed on addressing those theoretical and pedagogical issues significant to LOTE teaching in Australia.
