INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO DEVELOPING GERMAN GRAMMAR SKILLS IN FUTURE GERMAN LANGUAGE SPECIALISTS

Abstract

The article presents the results of an analysis of innovative approaches to the formation of Germanlanguage grammatical competence in future German philologists. The relevance of the problem is determined by the need to find modern innovative approaches to the formation of German-language grammatical competence of future philologists-Germanists. The purpose of the article is to identify and characterize the main innovative approaches to the formation of German-language grammatical competence of future philologists-Germanists. To achieve this goal, we consider it necessary to solve the following tasks: 1) to clarify the essence of grammatical competence; 2) based on the analysis, to identify the methodological potential of innovative approaches to the formation of German grammatical competence of future philologists-Germanists. Grammatical competence is considered to be a person’s ability to correctly formulate their oral and written statements grammatically and to understand the grammatical structure of others’ speech. The structure of grammatical competence has been determined, which includes grammatical skills, grammatical knowledge, and grammatical awareness. The main innovative approaches to the formation of German grammatical competence are analyzed and their methodological potential in the training of future German philologists is revealed. Among the main innovative approaches to the formation of German grammatical competence of future philologists-Germanists, active and interactive methods and technologies based on communicative, activity-based, and studentcentered approaches are highlighted: inductive explanation of grammatical material, involvement of students in project work, preparing presentations, performing interactive exercises, using interactive computer training programs and applications for learning foreign languages in the educational process, which enables the practical use of language in the process of communication, teaches students to acquire knowledge independently, eliminates mindless memorization, and enlivens and activates the learning process.
