Передмова
Сьогодні Україна заявила про свій намір стати рівноправним партнером в рамках Болонського процесу. Це вплинуло на процес підготовки майбутніх фахівців. Зрозуміло, що й зростає роль іноземної мови, як основного засобу міжнародного спілкування. Особлива увага приділяється іноземній мові професійного спрямування, бо саме вона надає змогу реалізувати всі аспекти професійної діяльності.
У Типовій програмі з англійської мови для професійного спілкування (АМПС), створеної за сприяння Британської Ради в Україні та рекомендованої Міністерством освіти і науки України (Київ, 2005), констатується, що «відповідно до Державного стандарту базової та повної середньої освіти від 2004 року, рівень володіння мовою (РВМ) випускників шкіл має відповідати рівню В1+». На жаль, з різних причин він набагато нижчий. У цьому випадку ВНЗ пропонується організовувати факультативні (підготовчі або інтенсивні) мовні курси, з тим щоб підняти РВМ своїх студентів до рівня В1+, перш ніж вони почнуть вивчати обов’язковий курс АМПС. Об’єктивні умови (обмежена кількість годин) для вирішення зазначеної проблеми не дуже сприятливі.
Запропоновані Методичні рекомендації та навчальні завдання «Ситуативні матеріали з академічного середовища» розраховані на 30 аудиторних годин (1-й семестр) і, в деякій мірі, допоможуть заповнити прогалини у вивченні/викладанні мови. Пріоритет та домінування комунікативного підходу в навчанні мовної та мовленнєвої компетенцій вимагало побудови більшості вправ таким чином, щоб вони максимально повно моделювали реальні умови та особливості іншомовної мовленнєвої комунікації. Тут коригуються, систематизуються та автоматизуються граматичні структури активного граматичного мінімуму, активізується словниковий запас (теми: родинне життя, персональна ідентифікація, щоденна діяльність, навчання студента, університет), одночасно удосконалюються фонетичні навички та навчки читання.
Методичні рекомендації та навчальні завдання складаються з трьох уроків, кожен з яких закінчується заданням-досягненням. Для підсумкового контролю розроблено завдання ( контрольні питання
за темами, лексико-граматичний тест, текст з тестовими завданнями), які дозволять визначити рівень сформованості мовних і мовленнєвих компетенцій. Урок має таку структуру:
I, II-й розділи – ознайомлення з мовним матеріалом (зняття лексико-граматичних труднощів). Граматичні явища зображені структурно, що віповідає віковим психологічним особливостям студентів немовних вузів. Щоб активізувати граматичні навички та систематизувати знання, отримані в школі, студенти виконують «Навчальні завдання з розвитку граматичнх навичок з англійської мови (теорія, тренувальні вправи, міні та рейтингові тести) для студентів 1-х курсів усіх спеціальностей НУВГП» (частина 1,2,3). Лексика семантизується.
III-й розділ представлений навчальним текстом, призначеним для розвитку комунікативної компетенції з різних видів читання.
IV-й розділ спрямований на виконання мовних вправ, які, головним чином, потрібні для удосконалення орієнтовної основи дій з новим мовним матеріалом і для контролю за сформованістю цієї основи в студентів, забезпечення переходу до комунікативнх вправ.
V-й розділ – пов'язаний з розвитком комунікативної компетенції в галузі говоріння.
VI-й розділ – творче завдання. Студенти пишуть есе на запропоновану тему, використовуючи лексико-граматичний матеріал даного уроку.
Урок закінчується виконанням завдання-досягнення, яке дає можливість студентам оцінити, наскільки успішно вони рухаються вперед на даному етапі навчання.

Petro Kucherenko and His Family
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Petro Kucherenko. I was born on the 18th of February, 1993, in Ostrog, Rivne region. This year I have finished secondary school No. 23 in Rivne. My family lives in one of the largest residential areas in a new flat. We moved into it five years ago. It is on the third floor of an eight-storey building. We have a four-room flat with all modern conveniences: hot and cold running water, electricity, central heating, gas, and telephone. There is a lift and a rubbish chute in our building.
My parents have two more children besides me. Thus, I have got an elder brother, Oleg, and a younger sister, Vira. My sister is a schoolgirl, she is a pupil in the 7th form. My brother is six years my senior. He is a designer by profession. He is married. His wife, Tetiana, is a journalist. There are four in their family and they live apart. They have two children – a son, Nazar, and a daughter, Kateryna. They are twins. They are my lovely little nephew and niece with golden hair and dark blue eyes.
My parents are not old at all. My father is forty nine and my mother is two years his junior. My grandparents are already pensioners, but they are still full of life and energy. I have many relatives – aunts, uncles, cousins.
My father’s name is Volodymyr. He is an engineer in computers. He is a smart and hardworking man. Despite his late hours he always has time for us. He checks up our homework quite often, helps with maths and physics, and gives us a good advice when we need it. He is very tall, wears moustache, has got brown hair and grey eyes.
My mother’s name is Olena. She is an accountant. She works for a private firm. She likes her job, but she’s really busy. She is tall and slim, has got short, straight ginger hair with fringe and blue eyes. She wears glasses because she is short-sighted. In community she seems quite shy, but she’s really ambitious and she isn’t afraid of anything. She likes reading. Most of all she likes books written by Jane Osten and Aghata Christie. Besides reading she likes gardening. I think that if she weren’t an accountant, she would be a gardener.
I am fond of reading too, and I prefer reading fiction and history books. I am keen on sports. I like playing football, basketball and chess. I am especially good at chess. I took part in different chess tournaments.
My sister and I try to help our mother about the house as much as we can. We go food shopping very often; we also try to keep our rooms neat so she does not have too much work to do.
I love my family dearly. We do a lot of things together. In summer we often drive to the lake for a picnic or go to the theatre. Our favourite time of the day is suppertime. We sit around a big table and talk about our day at work and university. It’s really nice to know that your family are your best friends.
In school I made much progress in exact sciences. That’s why I applied to the National University of Water Management and Natural Resources Use to specialize in the branch of civil engineering. I was lucky enough. So today I am a first-year student of the Institute of Civil Engineering and Architecture.

Petro's Working Day
Petro is a first-year student. His working day is rather tight. He doesn’t like getting up late. Petro always says, “early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise”. He believes there is not enough of each day as it is, without wasting the beginning of it.
This day starts like any other day. Petro wakes up at seven o'clock. He is used to staying in bed for a minute or two, then gets up, opens the window, makes his bed and does his morning exercises. He likes to take a cold shower every morning, so he puts on his slippers and goes to the bathroom. After he has brushed his teeth, shaved and dressed he goes to the kitchen. At 7.20 a.m. he is ready for breakfast. As a rule he does not prepare breakfast, his mother does it for him, but if she leaves home early he prepares it himself. Petro is sure that proper breakfast won’t do him any harm. For breakfast he usu¬ally has eggs, sausage or cheese sandwiches and a cup of coffee or tea. During break¬fast he listens to the news or music on the radio.
At 7.40 a.m. Petro leaves for the Uni¬versity. His University is far from his home, so it takes him twenty five minutes to get there by a route taxi. On his way to the University he often meets his friends, who are hurrying to the University too. His classes begin at 8.15 a.m. As a rule, Petro has three or four classes a day. At 11.45 a.m. he has a bite at the University canteen. As a matter of fact he stays at the University till five or six o’clock to study in the lab or in the library.
When he gets home he has his dinner. He usually has a little rest and then at seven he sits down to do his homework. It takes him a couple of hours to get it done. In the evening after supper Petro likes to sit down in the chair with a good book or watch TV. He often chats on line, sends emails, listens to music. Sometimes he goes to the cinema or visits his friends or they come to visit him. He has a lot of friends and they often spend time together, especially on Sundays. As soon as he feels sleepy he brushes his teeth, goes to his room, sets his alarm clock for seven and goes to bed. Although Petro is a hard-working student he never has time to do all he wants to do.
