Journal Title: Вісник Житомирського державного університету імені Івана Франка - Year 2018, Vol 93, Issue 2
Abstract
The article deals with the issue of low motivation for professional activity and professional training demonstrated by students of law. It is argued that to increase motivation educators should strengthen the interconnection between various academic subjects, as well as between the educational content and the professional challenges legal specialists face nowadays. Being easily adjusted to the needs of the students, the course of English for Professional Purposes provides numerous possibilities to tackle this problem. The article is based on the research materials of scientists engaged in studying motivation. Considering the establishedclassifications of motives and needs, we suggested the list of needs that need to be actualized and further acknowledged by students to transform into a motive with the help of materials provided in the English classroom. The aforementioned needs include the need to acquire information on the activity of a legal professional, the range of legal specializations and job opportunities in the field; the need to acquire skills required for successful activity and boosting one’s professional image; the need to be validated as a professional, discover own inclinations and interests to choose the specialization, and self-analysis to track the progress in one’s profession; the need for professionally oriented communication and networking; the need to acquire communication skills in English to find a job and deliver on professional objectives. Texts in the format of tests proved to hold a high potential in actualizing the aforementioned needs. The article provides a set of various test-based tasks to illustrate the suggested principle.
