Journal Title: Theory and Practice of Social Systems Management - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The knowledge of foreign languages, especially the knowledge of English is very important for future mathematicians. It is highly beneficial for them to have profound level of the foreign language skills, understand and know certain mathematical terms and notions, be able to read mathematical signs and formulae. They should be competent enough to use linguistic skills in order to interpret and infer meaning both from oral professional communication and from specialized literature given in the foreign language. Besides, they should be able to participate in professional discussions, to generate ideas and to express their point of view in the English language. But the process of the language learning can become a challenge for students specializing in Mathematics due to some cognitive and psychological peculiarities inherent to them. The aim of the paper is to study the most efficient means and methods of the English language teaching to future mathematicians at Ukrainian universities. It also states the importance to apply up-to-date techniques in foreign languages teaching and to select relevant tasks to form deep understanding of the peculiar mathematical terminology and to develop main foreign language competences. On the basis of their own experience, the authors prove that appropriately selected teaching methods can have good results with students of mathematical specialties.
