Abstract

Modern higher education in Russia includes three levels of training: bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and postgraduate courses. Foreign language study is a compulsory part of each level of training. We suppose that the effective formation of foreign language communicative competence is possible when designing a continuous multilevel system of foreign language acquisition in a higher school based on variety. We view a variety in the way that students and teachers are given the freedom to choose an educational variant from a variety of content, technologies, tools and forms based on a selection algorithm. Continuity is achieved by the consistency and succession of the professionally oriented educational content, the non-linear formation of foreign language sub competencies and the activation of linguistic self-education. The aim of the article is to develop a management system for a continuous foreign language education based on a variety. The management activity is aimed at implementing the educational project in the mass education. The establishment and evaluation of the system includes the determination of strategy and implementation mechanisms, requirements for the programs development and creation of methodological and information supports, mechanisms for quality assurance providing in the professionally oriented foreign language education.
