Academic foreign language communication environment in school textbooks
Abstract
The active acquisition of foreign language communication in different types of activities in accordance with the spheres, topics, and language input outlined by the current curriculum. Its implementation in the content of school foreign languages textbooks allows improving the academic process and directing it to competency-based principles. The authors interpret this category at the level of complex and interrelating activities of two subjects of the academic process: a learner and a teacher. It is defined as a kind of academic space, which provides holistic acquisition of the academic content, allows learners to show their abilities, motivates their foreign language activities, enables them to learn the native speakers' culture, promotes their education, development, and upbringing. According to the results of the study, the authors create a model of the academic foreignlanguage communication environment and propose to implement it in the content of school foreign languages textbooks. The results of conducted quantitative research prove that the academic foreign language communication environment created by the secondary school textbook content enhances the learners' progress motivates academic activities, allows the teacher to successfully implement the prognostic tasks, and shows his own professional experience.
