POLYFUNCTIONALITY OF MEDIATION STRATEGIES IN TEACHING ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES

The article is devoted to the study of mediation strategies in the light of recent publications of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The aim of the article is to highlight the multifunctionality of mediation strategies in teaching written speech to students of technical specialties and to consider strategies for creating secondary texts of patent documentation as a product of text mediation. The following research methods were used – critical analysis of literature sources, synthesis (mediation strategies and strategies for creating a secondary text), hypothesis (multifunctionality of mediation strategies in teaching English for professional purposes), modelling (algorithm for mediation of patent documents). Given the importance for future engineers of the skills of producing professionally oriented written speech, this study aims to identify the features of the mediation strategies multifunctionality in teaching written speech to students of technical specialties. The authors added strategies to the creation of secondary texts in the form of annotations and abstracts to the mediation of the text, which is essential in the foreign language training of future engineers. Considering the secondary text as a product of the mediation process of the primary text, the authors came to the conclusion that the latter has a three-component algorithm – reception; decoding information by summarizing it, which in terms of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages includes text processing orally and in writing, if necessary, e.g., in the submission of its own article or patent application, a written text translation, an information analysis of the original text; the text mediation product (secondary text). The research material was the texts of patent information and the tasks for the development of text mediation strategies. The authors consider examples of the mediation strategies use in the process of creating summaries to the patent text by future engineers.
