Abstract

The need to identify scientific principles, develop and implement an effective model of integrated teaching of professionally-oriented English for future social workers, which will ensure an organic combination of language training with professional content, contributed to the definition of pedagogical conditions for increasing the level of English-speaking professionally-oriented preparedness of future social workers. The article clarifies the essence of the concept of «condition». Dictionary and encyclopedic sources on the definition of the phenomenon of “pedagogical condition” are analyzed. The study summarizes various approaches to the definition of pedagogical conditions, and provides an interpretation of the phenomenon of “pedagogical conditions”. It was found that the pedagogical conditions for integrated teaching of professionally-oriented English for future social workers in the process of professional training are determined by the specifics of this training and future professional activities, in connection with which the following pedagogical conditions were determined: positive motivation regarding the need to form professionally-oriented English-speaking preparedness of future social workers; integration of English and professional disciplines in the process of forming professionally-oriented English-speaking preparedness of future social workers; modeling of a problem-oriented educational environment in the process of integrated teaching of professionally-oriented English of future social workers; involvement of future social workers in active independent professionallyoriented English-speaking activities. The article substantiates the feasibility of the first pedagogical condition – positive motivation regarding the need to form professionally-oriented English-speaking preparedness of future social workers. The essence of the concept of “motivation” according to dictionary sources is revealed. Analysis of modern scientific research on the features of the motivational sphere of higher education students revealed the existence of two main types of motivation, which determine, respectively, two types of behavior: external motivation, which causes externally motivated behavior, and internal motivation, which causes internally motivated behavior. It was found that the presence of positive internal motivation for English language training is an important pedagogical condition for the successful formation of professionally oriented English language readiness of future social workers.
