Psycho-pedagogical factors of creating motivation for foreign language communicative academic and professional activities in a technical Institution of higher education

Abstract

In the author,s opinion one of the reasons for rather low level of master of foreign languages among future engineers is low motivation of studying this subject at a technical Institution of higher education. In the article it is specially stressed that exactly internal and wide social motives are lying in the foundation of positive motivation of the foreign language studying at a technical Institution of higher education. In modern Psychology the psychological-pedagogical conditions of foreign language communicative academic and professional activities in a technical Institution of higher education are researched insufficiently. The author singles out some more favourable conditions for forming the motivation of the foregoing activities and realizes their differentiation according to three categories of students “workaholics“, “professionally oriented“ and “idlers“.
