Abstract:
The application of coaching techniques is popular in the worldwide practice of specialist training and is used in various fields. However, the problem of introduction of coaching technniques in foreign languages learning in Ukraine remains insufficiently covered and requires a more detailed study. This paper aimed to study the influence of language coaching techniques (LCT) on undergraduate students’ motivation in the process of foreign language teaching at non-linguistic specialties. The study sought to answer the main research questions: 1.What effect would LCT have on undergraduate students’ motivation to learn foreign languages at Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University (TNPU) in Ukraine? 2. How will the students perceive LCT while learning languages? The research employs qualitative methods (scientific observations, analysis of student activity results) to substantiate research theoretical grounds; quantitative metods (testing and self-assessment reviews) to identify the efficacy of LCT, communicative methods (conversations, discussions), and methods of mathematical analysis to do calculations of the collected research data. The conducted experiment involved randomly chosen 62 second-year students of the first (bachelor) higher education level of non-linguistic specialties of TNPU. The study concluded that the applied LCT at foreign language classes during the experiment provided positive dynamics in the growth of students’ motivation to knowledge acquisition. The findings would have practical significance for teachers of foreign languages who want to organize the learning process and make it more effective.
