The article analyses the difficulties brought about by
the introduction into the curricula of many Russian
universities a new educational practice – Academic
Writing in English. The difficulties are grouped into
the following categories: the ones which are rooted in
the old Soviet-Russian lingua - didactic tradition of
teaching foreign languages; the ones which are
connected with a low level of prestige of research
work among students and some of their teachers; the
ones which are specific to a particular educational
establishment, and as the survey reveals, they are
mostly caused by the complicated nature of the
subject Academic Writing. The algorithm of action
suggested for the syllabus design includes the
analysis of objective and subjective difficulties;
analysis of the needs of the target audience; and the
introduction into the teaching process specifically
designed for the course materials. Survey results
prove that following the algorithm has significantly
raised the students’ level of satisfaction with the
difficult course. The measures, aiming to improve the

In modern conditions there is a particularly acute
problem of activization of the human factor, the
maximum use of human abilities to achieve higher
results of professional activity. The solution to this
problem is vested in the vocational education system,
whose main objective is to provide training and
education a qualified professional of the appropriate
level and profile, competitive on the labor market,
ready for professional growth, social and professional
mobility. It is directly connected with the problem of
further improving the management of the process of
formation of personality of a future marine technician,
a factor which is a professional orientation. According
to the authors, the current practice of training
specialists of Maritime transport requires the presence
of the model of software and diagnostic support of the
process of formation of professional orientation. The
article proposes this model, which is built from the
position of system-activity, competence, software
design and diagnostic approaches, and includes:
conceptual-target block (the wording of the goal,
objectives, fundamental contradictions of concepts and
ideas); content and process unit (design target of the
program "Orientation and professionalism"; the
definition of pedagogical conditions); procedure block
(teaching in the target program; methods of learning;
stages of learning (input, intermediate, final);
monitoring of the level of formation of professional
orientation); productive unit (criteria, indicators, levels)
The success of communication in the learning
environment is provided by the organization of
educational process in such a way, when it is most
comfortable for students to demonstrate their
knowledge and for teachers to control this knowledge.
Semiotic approach allows taking into account the
diversity of individual intelligence profiles within a
particular educational system. Such an approach
includes the selection of the content, the organization
of students’ activities and the system of assessment.
The development of cognitive competencies allows
teachers to eliminate the difficulties which can be
caused by the large amount of information, its
comprehension and the ability of students to express
their opinion by means of complex linguistic
structures. The semiotic approach involves the use of
variant and invariant tasks that can ensure the success
of the situation for students with different levels of
training. The assessment technology is based on the
principle of semiotic result. It is realized through the
use of score-rating system, which is applied within the
current, intermediate and final control. This system
enables the students to receive a total positive rating
for a certain period of training. As a result, such a
student avoids taking the exam. It creates a positive
motivation for students to learn foreign languages
without a stressful component of assessment, which
results in a high efficiency of the educational process
One of the main trends of the modern education
modernization is its aim to develop the students'
individuality. The development of the students'
individuality assumes implementation of an
individualization principle in teaching. In this work, on
the basis of the analysis of main historical and modern
definitions of a concept «individualization in teaching»
we have identified the following functions: adaptation,
developing, realization. Based on these functions the
maintenance of the concept of individualization in
teaching is specified in modern conditions. The
development of the individualization in teaching issues
is particularly relevant at a higher degree of basic
education, because the individualization of learning at
the senior high school is consistent with the age
peculiarities of senior high school students. Because of
the identified functions, purposes of individualization
in teaching at a higher degree of basic education are
specified
