NON-SPECIALIST FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROVISION IN GREAT BRITAIN

The aim of this paper is to explore the state of teaching foreign languages to non-specialist language students in the United Kingdom as well as the steps taken by British authoritites to overcome a crisis in this sector of higher education.

Research methodology. Eight major publications on the subject (survey reports, scientific journal and newspaper articles) have been reviewed. Statistical data have been widely drawn from formal and informal surveys conducted by various higher education bodies in Great Britain.

Results. It has been found that the government, higher education and industry bodies of the United Kingdom are well aware of an «alarming shortage» of British people able to speak foreign languages. A number of steps have been taken with the aim of transforming the language teaching strategy at university level. While traditional modern languages departments at British universities are losing popularity, more attention is given to non-specialist language students. There is a strong tendency to adopt functional approach to language teaching concentrating on developing practical language skills rather than theoretical knowledge. In the case of students not majoring in linguistics, foreign languages are not a required part of the degree programme. However, students wishing to acquire linguistic skills may join one of the language courses at their university. The courses vary in duration and academic value. Teaching is provided by the staff of well-equipped university language centers.

Novelty. An attempt is made in this paper to show alternative ways of teaching foreign languages to non-specialist students differing from those adopted in the post- Soviet countries.

The practical significance. Ukrainian educators may find the information contained in this article useful for developing a new strategy of teaching foreign languages to non-specialist students.

Key words: foreign languages, non-specialist language students, university language centre, credit courses, noncredit courses.

RESPONSIBILITY OF AUTHORS. The manuscripts are independently reviewed, with the involvement of leading specialists, and the editorial board decides on the expediency of publishing articles or the need for their revision by the authors, taking into account the comments of the reviewers.
