Abstract

This paper reveals training experience of engineers for the global companies. It is shown that foreign language skills in modern conditions turn into the significant personal and professional characteristic of a specialist. Language training gives grounds to communicative skills formation, including bilingual communication. For modern engineers a foreign language becomes an orientation tool in information space and also a professional problem solving tool in bilingual communication. An integration of language modules into the curriculum is a distinguished feature of the given training system. Thus the principle of gradual problem solving skills broadening becomes a reality. Various interactive training courses and virtual training modules are used during this training. Such approach erases speech barriers, develops ability to communicate in a foreign language and also ability to work in team.

Index Terms – training experience of engineers, professional characteristic of a specialist, language training, integration of language modules into the curriculum.
