Krapivina M.Yu. DEVELOPING COURSE OF ENGLISH FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES The requirements of the modern global economy for university graduates dictate new approaches to university linguistic training of future specialists. Students of nonlinguistic specialties are focused on equal entry into the world professional community. Therefore, it is essential to develop foreign language courses, taking into account the academic, social, professional and personal needs and interests of students. Research shows that a large proportion of future language users are interested in the special language of their profession and the language skills required in their future work.
The strategy of the Orenburg State University is to maximize the convergence of training outcomes with the needs of the regional economy, taking into account the needs of the key industries, the requirements of potential employers.
Thus, the teacher's task is to develop the content of the curriculum for foreign language courses. On the one hand, they should be wide enough to meet the requirements of a number of profiles and areas of training, on the other hand, they should be as specific as possible to meet the needs of specifically defined professional tasks.
With regard to the subject of our research, we believe that when developing an English language course for special purposes (ESP), a teacher should rely on the principles of reverse course design, reflexive teaching, activitybased approach to teaching, professional orientation of teaching, intercultural orientation of teaching, and also principles of transparency, accessibility, mobility of the teaching process.
Taking into account the specifics of the problem under investigation and focusing on the above principles of developing the ESP course, the main spheres and situations of foreign language communication were selected and tested as guidelines for building training courses.
The theoretical approaches and principles developed in the course of the study aim to scientifically substantiate the procedures for analyzing, evaluating and implementing educational materials, to serve as guidelines for creating ESP courses for students of various fields of study, helping to purposefully achieve the development of the desired competencies.Key words: English for Special Purposes (ESP), course design principles, content selection, taking into account the needs of the economy, foreign language communication in the professional sphere.
