Synergetic Approach to Teaching Foreign Languages at Undergraduate Technical Institutions

Current dynamics in the labor market arises the need to organize appropriate undergraduate teaching. This has to be considered especially when teaching foreign languages since the subject is the acquisition of lifetime-learning competences. Teaching languages at undergraduate level has to mean interweaving already acquired general language competences and professional study competences, with intercultural, multidisciplinary skills, and competitive difference which will improve students’ position in the labor market. Thus the teaching should be based on synergetic approach, whose components are dealt with in the paper, by using multimedia teaching resources and methods for proliferation of linguistic knowledge and the professional and intercultural skills which have to be mastered as a precondition for the successful activity of professional labor force in its globalised surroundings. To make it the paradigm of lifetime learning, the teaching has to be organized as consciousness-raising and as mediation of sources and ways to actualize the task.
