Psycholinguistic approach in the formation of foreign language cognitive activity of future engineers

Abstract

EN: Learn a foreign language turns into a fundamental need with the extension of boundaries, cognizance and comprehension of the need to exchange experiences. Internships outside the home country, participation in international seminars, speaking at scientific international conferences become a priority for the student's career and educational development. Speaking at conferences requires a decent professional foundation as well as a good linguistic background. Historically, most Ukrainians in central and eastern Ukraine are bilingual, speaking Ukrainian and Russian equally well. The foreign language becomes the third and sometimes the fourth language to be studied. As English is instructed in many schools, entering university a student may additionally learn French or German. This is due to the need for engineers who are able to carry out foreign language professionally oriented activities at an international level
