| description | When working with information, it becomes crucial nowadays to employ various visualization
methods. This fact leads every researcher to the necessity to master skills of work with information through using
visualization technologies and to develop visual literacy, which is traditionally treated as the ability to understand
and produce visual texts that make the communication process more effective. It is especially important to use
technologies for developing visual literacy when working with modern students who belong to the generations of visuals. The article discusses the possibilities of applying the technologies for the development of visual literacy
in the professionally oriented foreign language classroom for students of philology. A new term “communicative
visual technologies” is introduced, which is defined as a way of integrated development of universal (analytical,
communicative and creative) and professional competences when working with visual-verbal foreign language
texts.
The materials presented have been developed for the experimental training of a group of students studying
the subject “Text layout” on the material of a foreign language (English, German and Russian as a foreign language).
The training included work on the creation of lexical mental maps, professional infographics, literary
videos and digital books. The results of the trial training of a group of students carried out in autumn, 2021 at the
Northern (Arctic) federal university, Arkhangelsk, Russia, as well as the results of the diagnostic and control tests
and reflective surveys show positive dynamics in the development of professional and foreign language skills, as
well as the development of visual literacy of students. Purposeful training of philology department students to
create complex professionally oriented visual-verbal texts of in a foreign language indicates that working with
such texts allows students to better understand and remember the material being studied, as well as to make the
process of natural communication in a foreign language more efficient.
The suggested method can be used in the future when developing and testing communicative visual technologies
of a different type (tasks for creating interactive maps, long format texts, commented presentations, etc.)
in a variety of philological disciplines, as well as in teaching students of other specialties. |
