INTRODUCTION
Global tendencies of the modern society, such as acceleration of the social
development rates; transition to the postindustrial and information society; expansion of
the scope of intercultural interaction; the emergence and growth of universal problems
that can be solved as a result of international cooperation; democratization of the
society; dynamic economic development and increasing competition; growth of the
value of human capital, can not but affect the level of development of education. Being
a developing country, Kazakhstan, more and more confidently declaring itself at the
international level, can not remain aloof from the influence of these tendencies, too. In
modern Kazakhstan a new system of education is being developed, which is oriented
towards integration into the world educational space. This process is accompanied by
significant changes in pedagogical theory and practice.
In the context of updating the content of education and modernizing of Kazakhstani
education, the main goal is to achieve a new quality of general education. And this entails
a revision of requirements for the teacher. «In the context of reforming the education
system aimed at bringing the national and European approach closer to determining the
quality of knowledge and professional readiness of a specialist, the system of minimum
requirements to the knowledge, skills, abilities and personal qualities of the teacher is
revised from the perspective of a competence approach» [1, 79].
It becomes necessary for a modern Kazakh teacher to constantly improve the level

general cultural, and legal. In connection with the dictates of the times to conduct
classes in the subjects of the natural sciences in English it is necessary to add the
foreign-language competence to the competencies mentioned above.

high qualification in the professional sphere, but also by readiness to solve professional
problems in conditions of foreign-language communication [2], which in turn requires
consideration of professional specifics in mastering a foreign language, its focus on the
implementation of tasks of future professional activities by graduates.
The professionally oriented approach to teaching a foreign language to students of
the natural-science profile acquires a special urgency, which implies the formation of the
ability of students to communicate in certain professional, business, scientific spheres
and situations. This need is dictated by the strengthening of the role of international
business, professional and personal contacts, because «the knowledge of two or more
languages is an integral component of any modern highly educated person, striving for
a highly paid job and a successful career» [3, 24].
The term «Professionally-oriented teaching of a foreign language» is used to
describe the process of teaching a foreign language to non-linguistic specialties, which is
focused on communication in the sphere of professional activity at the international level
and carrying out research activities in a foreign language [4]. The professionally oriented
teaching of a foreign language in a modern polylingual and multicultural world is aimed
at mastering a certain level of the
foreign-language professional communicative
