English for special purposes Computer Engineering 3 Предисловие Практика организации современного учебного процесса, необходимость повышения качества образования в отечественных высших учебных заведениях технического профиля актуализирует необходимость изучения дисциплины «Иностранный язык для профессиональных (специальных) целей» с целью развития и совершенствования определенного программными документами уровня сформированности иноязычной коммуникативной профессиональной компетентности студентов. Развитие иноязычной профессиональной коммуникативной компетентности позволит студентам и будущим выпускникам осуществлять эффективное профессионально ориентированное общение со специалистами других стран, участвовать в процессе академической и профессиональной мобильности в национальном и международном образовательном поликультурном пространстве на современном этапе интеграции вузов, быть конкурентоспособными на рынке труда, совершенствовать и приумножать национальные достижения. Учебное пособие “Computer engineering” разработано с учетом программы обучения иностранному языку для студентов неязыковых вузов по направлениям «Информатика и вычислительная техника» (08.03.01); «Автоматизация технологических процессов и производств» (15.03.04); «Информационные системы и технологии» (09.03.02) и «Системный анализ и управление» (27.09.03). Аутентичный текстовый материал тематических разделов пособия и разработанная система упражнений имеют профессионально ориентированную проблематику. Уровень сложности текстового материала, представленного в пособии, ориентирован на студентов с уровнем сформированности лингвистической компетенции в объеме базового курса изучения дисциплины «Иностранный язык». В вузе данный уровень эквивалентен первому и второму курсам обучения студентов на образовательном уровне бакалавриата. Текстовый материал и система заданий учебного пособия могут быть использованы для групповой и самостоятельной работы студентов в аудитории под руководством преподавателя, а также для внеаудиторной работы. Организация обсуждения предложенных в тематических разделах пособия проблем в студенческой аудитории в форме ролевой игры, диспутов, игр-соревнований, обсуждений «круглого стола», проектов, презентаций и других форм общения студентов на иностранном языке представляется значимой, так как имитирует ситуации естественной языковой профессионально ориентированной коммуникации. Пособие “Computer engineering” может быть рассчитано на 150-200 и более часов аудиторной работы в вузе в зависимости от индивидуального календарного планирования и, соответственно, структурно-содержательного блока рабочих программ с учетом специфики обучения студентов в определенном вузе. Весь предлагаемый материал разбит на 10 разделов (Units), содержащих следующие проблемы для обсуждения: “Computer & Computing”, “Software”, “Portable computers”, “Programming languages”, “Computer networking”, “Computer graphics”, “Multimedia”, “Telecommunications”, “Virtual reality”, “Computer security”. Каждый раздел пособия имеет свое тематическое направление. Структура раздела позволяет студентам снять трудности языкового, речевого и психологического характера в процессе усвоения учебного материала раздела, легко ориентироваться в структурно-содержательном блоке текстовых заданий и упражнений. Каждый раздел имеет в своей структуре следующие типы заданий: English for Special Purposes 4 Computer Engineering Lead In – знакомство с предлагаемой проблемой раздела, выполнение предтекстовых заданий с целью предварительного обсуждения представленной проблемы с опорой на фоновые знания студентов. Pronunciation – имеет целью проведение фонетического тренинга блока основных лексических единиц раздела. Word Study – содержит дефиницию лексического материала по проблеме раздела с целью дальнейшей эффективной работы с текстом. Word Building – знакомство с особенностями словообразования. В задании Grammar Focus – представлена грамматическая проблема для изучения студентами, исходя из специфики конкретного тематического раздела пособия. Снять грамматические трудности и изучить грамматический материал, представленный на русском языке более подробно можно в секции Grammar Files, которая находится в конце пособия после тематических разделов. Specialist Reading – включает в себя аутентичный текстовый материал по проблеме раздела. Vocabulary in Use – предлагает задания лексического характера с опорой на прочитанный текстовый материал. Comprehension Check – представляет систему заданий с целью выявить степень понимания прочитанного текстового материала. Ряд следующих заданий: Writing, Get Real, Speaking, по мнению разработчиков пособия, заслуживает особого внимания студентов, так как данные задания имеют целью не только интенсивное совершенствование всех видов речевой деятельности студентов, но и эффективное развитие творческого мышления и индивидуального подхода студентов к рассмотрению проблемы раздела в процессе подготовки. Разделы Writing и Speaking содержат задания, имеющие целью развитие творческого мышления и индивидуальной точки зрения студентов, которые мотивируют обучаемых к дальнейшему изучению и критическому видению предлагаемой проблемы, дополнительному использованию различных информационных источников по изучаемой теме. Writing – в разделе представлена система письменных заданий. Speaking – раздел включает в себя систему заданий с целью развития коммуникативной компетенции студентов в процессе профессионально ориентированного общения. Get Real – в данном разделе даны ссылки на Интернет сайты, работа с которыми поможет студентам творчески использовать дополнительный материал по проблематике всех разделов пособия (особенно в ходе выполнения заданий разделов Writing и Speaking) наиболее полно реализовать профессиональные интересы, проявить индивидуальность и креативность в процессе подготовки к занятию. Использование предлагаемых информационных источников поможет студентам в процессе выполнения творческих заданий, составления докладов и подготовки презентаций. Возможность использования видеоматериалов по выбору студентов с учетом их профессиональных предпочтений приблизит атмосферу занятия к реальной языковой среде, сделает его более информативным. Применение на занятии информационных технологий в обучении, использование студентами компьютерных средств и информационных источников сети Интернет в аудитории и во внеаудиторное время способствуют повышению уровня профессиональной компетентности, развитию современного взгляда на технические English for special purposes Computer Engineering 5 науки, формированию профессионального мышления средствами иностранного языка, повышению мотивации к изучению дисциплины «Иностранный язык для профессиональных (специальных) целей». Supplementary Reading Section – содержит дополнительный текстовый материал по проблеме тематических разделов пособия. Word List – в данном разделе дан тезаурус языка для специальных целей “Computer Engineering”. Список предлагаемых для изучения лексических единиц структурирован по тематическим разделам пособия. Система упражнений каждого тематического раздела пособия была разработана с целью интенсивного вовлечения студентов в дискуссию, позволяющую анализировать предложенную в разделе проблему с элементами обобщения и оценки, аргументировано выражать собственную точку зрения. Учебное пособие может быть предложено студентам, магистрантам, специалистам и всем желающим изучать английский язык с целью развития и совершенствования иноязычной профессиональной коммуникативной компетентности в процессе обсуждения проблем профессионально ориентированной тематики, а также может быть использовано преподавателями

Abstract: There is a great number of different types of mobile computing devices like cellular phones, Handhelds and notebooks. However in literature so far there is no common accepted definition for these terminal types. Es- pecially the term “Smartphone” is used for very different types of mobile phones. In our article we therefore propose a comprehensive taxonomy for mobile terminals that clearly distinguishes between different classes of terminals. 1 MOBILE TERMINALS is that mobile computing is a rather new technology so a market consolidation like that for personal desk- Everyday life without mobile terminals is almost top computers didn't take place yet.
