Alternative control and assessment of auditory competence in students of humanities: motivational aspect

Importance. The rapidly changing labor market makes new demands on university graduates, including their ability to perceive and understand foreign language speech for successful interaction in international teams. The aim of the research is to analyze the influence of alternative ways of control and assessment of listening competence of students of humanities and their motivation for advanced study of English.

Materials and methods. Such scientific methods as observation, formalized questionnaire survey with open and closed questions, comparative analysis, expert evaluation are used.

Results and Discussion. It is proven that updating approaches to control of listening competence not only promotes its development, but also increases students' motivation to listen. Thus, after the experiment, the number of students with a high level of listening competence increased from 5.3 to 16 %, and the number of students with its low level decreased from 73.4 to 25.3 %. A statistically significant increase in the level of motivation to listening among the students who participated in the study was revealed (EG χ̅ = 4.32. Mo = 4, CG χ̅ = 3.17. Mo = 2). (EG χ̅ = 4.32. Mo = 4, CG χ̅ = 3.17. Mo = 2).

Conclusion. It is concluded that the principles of monitoring and assessment of auditory competence tested in this experiment are universal. They can be recommended for application in the foreign language training of students of both humanitarian, technical, and natural science majors.
