Development of professional communication in English (experience of Ukrainian military officers)

Keywords: language competence, English, military training, education.

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to analyse the development of professional communication in English among Ukrainian military personnel. To achieve this goal theoretical methods of cognitive science were used, particularly, analysis, synthesis, comparison, abstraction, and content analysis. The results substantiate that due to the training opportunities in the European countries and the United States, it was possible to prepare significant reserves to counter Russian troops. Acquiring necessary language skills for foreign training required the introduction of new standards to internal training of military personnel. An important step was the launch of the STANAG 6001 standard, which aims to unify the training of officers, cadets, and other military personnel in order to achieve a high level of language competence. The project approach expanded the application of this standard providing with new prospects. Creative projects are characterised by discussion and agreement on the results and the form of their presentation. The conclusions emphasise that training military personnel in foreign language communication during a full-scale war was a significant challenge for all participants in the educational process.
