Annotation: The article is devoted to the specifics of using dialogue as a form of teaching a foreign language to students of technical universities. The relevance of the article is determined by the urgent need to develop effective approaches to teaching a foreign language to students of technical specialties in order to develop students’ competence in written and oral communication in a foreign language in the professional field. Currently, the level of “read- ing and translating with a dictionary” can no longer be considered an independent didactic task, which has traditionally been central in the training of engineers, taking into account the saturation of technical texts with professional terminology, which dictates the development of not only new approaches, but also didactic values. The scientific significance of the work lies in the justification of the need to actively include dialog forms in the training of engineers based on the analysis and generalization of pedagogical experience, both local author’s and presented in a number of reviewed scientific publications. As an advantage of using dialogue techniques in language teaching, the subjectivity of teaching a student a foreign language is put forward as opposed to its objectivity as it is in other approaches, when the student remains a passive recipient of information received in a ready-made form. The understanding of the use of dialogue as a method of teaching a foreign language is car- ried out in relation to the specific features of the areas of training, which determines the practical significance of the study, which consists in the possibility of applying the presented task in the practice of teaching a foreign language.

Annotation: The study of issues of theoretical perception of ethnocultural identity problems contributes to the effective solution of harmonious intercultural interaction formation in a multiethnic society. The article examines the socio-psychological aspects of young people’s ethnocultural identity development from the perspective of M. Sherif and D. Campbell’s research, representatives of the behaviorist direction. The applied study concept provides focusing on behavioral models of human life, since ethnocultural identity is realized in social actions. Based on the results of the study, the conclusion is formulated that the use of technological techniques implemented in the educational process and cultural and leisure activities aimed at maintaining the culture and traditions of an ethnic group makes it possible to update such areas of young people’s mental life as cognitive, affective and behavioral. These areas activation is fundamental for young people’s ethnocultural identity formation. The studied views and assessments of ethnocultural identity are qualified on their qualitative reasons by means of the conceptual analysis method. Based on the synthesis of the considered particular concepts, elements of the general concept of building harmonious intercultural interaction in a multi-ethnic society are highlighted.

Annotation: The article considers the application of telegram channel as a didactic means of digitalizing learning, which is dictated by the increasing role of mobile applications in society and the opportunities they can provide – interactivity, accessibility, speed of information ex-change, and receiving feedback. The meth- odology of this study is based on the concept of person-alized learning and some elements of the digital transformation strategy of education. The differ-entiation method as a tool for identifying the didactic and educational essence in the digital ser-vices used, a survey, and a pedagogical experiment were used as investigation methods. During the study the possibilities of using online services for educational purposes were analyzed. A ho-listic didactic solution for using the telegram channel for teaching biology at school has been de-veloped. Possible prospects of its use are shown, including at an in-depth level, and a set of func-tional tools is justified. An example of a learning channel for studying biology in the 9th grade is demonstrated, the author’s experience of using the service is summarized, confirming the im-provement of the accessibility and personalization of learning. The prospects for further develop-ment of educational technology using the telegram channel are proposed. The practical applica-bility of the research results is ensured by the possibility of replicating positive experience: for example, the creation of personal teacher channels based on the proposed approaches.

Annotation: The rapidly changing world directly affects the educational sphere. The university teaching staff constantly has to solve new psychological, pedagogical and methodological issues. Undoubtedly, teaching approaches must take into account the needs of modern students and adapt to the specificities of socio-economic and political reality. Presently, from the point of view of teaching methods, the pronunciation of native English speakers is no longer perceived as an absolute norm and a standard to follow. When teaching English as a language of international communication (lingua franca), the goal of developing phonetic skills is to achieve intelligibility of speech in professional communication and the ability to understand a wide range of accents. As practice shows, working on improving pronunciation skills of university students has a number of issues. Students should not feel uncomfort- able during pronunciation training. Today, personalization of the learning process is becoming a current trend in higher education. The article proposes the authors’ model of teaching pronunciation based on P2P method and development of an individual trajectory. The practical significance of the study is observed in the critical analysis of the experimental training conducted, and in the possibility of using the described technique when teaching a foreign language at a university.

Annotation: The article explores the topic of formal description and normalization of the generally accepted concept of “address” in the database. The relevance of the work is due to the high degree of variability of addresses and the need to create a significant number of grammatical rules for their formal description and normalization. The article proposes an approach to summarize the rules of this description. The criterion of sets equivalence of generated address strings is formulated. A system of formal grammar rules has been developed that converts a set of address details values into a string form. The address bar is considered as a linguistic variable, the source of which is the required address, transformed according to the rules of the generative grammar. In turn, each request address is considered as the result of converting the corresponding address bar using the rules of the recognizing grammar. Using the method of logical categorization of the conversion process of a specific address, an address tree has been built, the paths of which determine the structure of each address bar. A theoretical model is proposed for the automatic conversion of a mandatory normalized address into a string form. The results obtained can be useful for designers of information systems containing address description data or interacting with them.
