Abstract

Experience shows that the multilateral study of a foreign language should be emphasized in the process of navy specialists training, which will benefit organic integration of future seafarer into a new working atmosphere. The relevance of the study is determined by the alteration of the conditions of the institutional environment, which includes not only the requirements of employers and the impact of the external environment, but also the learning process organization in a higher educational institution. The purpose of the study is to identify promising directions for the development of the educational process, approaches to its construction in accordance with the new conditions. In the work, methods of observation, study and generalization of experience, an analytical method, a survey of potential employers by the method of in-depth interviews have been used. The survey covered both Russian and foreign employers. The main requirements of employers regarding seafarers are identified on the example of Novorossiysk being one of the largest seaports in the country. The range of problems arising in the training of a modern navy specialist is determined. The working curriculum of a specific maritime specialty is analyzed, which enabled to establish interdisciplinary relationships between a foreign language and other disciplines of the plan. An algorithm for hiring seafarers is presented based on the results of a survey covering crewing companies’ employees. The algorithm proves the need to form an educational process in a maritime higher education institution within the framework of interdisciplinary interaction. It is shown that holding joint seminars and workshops is relevant and in demand. Recommendations for conducting interdisciplinary classes are presented.
