Personality-centered systemic hierarchical model of foreign languages teaching

Abstract

The article describes the personality-centered systemic hierarchical model of foreign languages teaching developed by the author. The necessity and relevance of this approach are due to changes in the needs for foreign languages learning and the obvious shortcomings of traditional approaches. The proposed model is a learning system, which focuses on the language personality with its needs, interests, opportunities, acquired experience and skills. The model consists of three stages or the sphere of communication: the sphere of everyday communication (basic course), the sphere of business communication, the sphere of professional communication. The main didactic unit of this approach is the text as a system that combines and actualizes the grammatical and lexical units of the language.
