THEATRICALIZATION TECHNOLOGY IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF HIGHER SCHOOL: LINGUO-DIDACTIC ASPECT
Norms and standards of the global educational system determine a choice of modern technologies accelerating the development of the higher education system. Special emphasis should be put on the technologies stimulating creative thinking and leading to the realization of students’ inner potential which is regarded as a premise for the successful professional activity in any sphere. This fact determines the choice of theatricalization technology for the following study. Theatricalization technology is regarded as a complex of theatrical and pedagogical methods constituting the whole system aimed at the release of an individual creative potential in the sphere of higher education. Specific forms of the relations between students and teachers based on theatrical interaction promote the creative thinking expressed in oral speech. The linguo-didactic potential of the theatricalization technology reveals its properties in the process of linguistic higher education. The study of linguo-didactic and psycho-pedagogical literature as well as the results of the practical experience prove the effective realization of this technology in the process of linguistic education of students and determine its practical significance. The realization of theatricalization technology in the process of foreign language teaching implies four stages (preparatory stage, comprehensive stage, the performance itself and reflective stage). The succession of these stages and their coherence lead not only to the acquirement of skills and their practical appliance for the sphere of foreign communicative interaction but also the ability to recognize and use the elements of kinesthetic perception, individual work on the role, evaluation of the communicative surrounding. Interactive foreign communication facilitates the formation of communicative strategies which depend on the relations between the partners and their social status. The positive effect produced by theatricalization technology on the linguistic education is revealed in all the constituents of the foreign communicative competence, formation of the moral values, raise of the personal motivation and creative initiative in multicultural sphere.
