Abstract
The research deals with the problem of updating the content of teaching English to students of non-linguistic specializations, in particular to future managers of international business operations. The topicality of the research is accounted for by the existing discrepancy between theoretical university training and current requirements to the qualifications and expertise of job candidates in the aforementioned field. The course of the English language provides numerous opportunities for building and developing knowledge and skills of students pertaining to their professional specialization due to the possibilities of including textual, audio- and video materials related to the specific job-based subject matters. The objective of the article is to provide recommendations on selecting and compiling learning materials for teaching English to future managers of international business operations. The material of the research highlights the requirements to professional communication skills of the students and explores the correlation between the said requirements and the possibilities provided by thoroughly selected subject matter of learning texts based on a case study of a teaching unit of ''Project management''. The results of the research provide guidelines on selecting learning materials, the sources thereof and stages of their studying in view of the learning tasks that correspond to actual future job responsibilities of the students. The conclusions made provide grounds for updating the content of teaching English, selecting learning materials and methods for actualization of background knowledge and principles of integrated learning into the course of English for professional purposes designed for students specializing in managing international business operations.
