| Summary: | The article covers the issues associated with the implementation of the competency approach while
training future professionals in the hotel and restaurant business, tourism industry and international
relations for professional interaction, namely the role of teamwork for the development of global skills
while forming foreign language competency.
Domestic and foreign studies on the set of global skills required for increasing the competitiveness
of personality, business and the country as a whole have been analyzed to focus on the most crucial ones
including critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, leadership, self-management and
social responsibility. The essence of interactive learning and teamwork as a basis for its implementation in
the educational process has been considered. The foreign experience on differentiation of concepts “group
work” and “team work” has been generalized to substantiate the idea that teamwork is at the core of
effective interaction in the class. The basic principles of teamwork in the business environment have been
considered to define the ones applicable for developing foreign language competency, and conformity of
teamwork to pedagogical conditions which are favourable for the students’ professional interaction has
been substantiated. The benefits and downsides of teamwork in learning a foreign language have been
analyzed taking into account different stages, types and levels of team development to enable teachers to
anticipate and mitigate the drawbacks while enhancing the positive effects of teamwork. In addition, the
main models of teamwork and conditions for their effective use have been researched to define the most
effective one. It has been concluded that the key to success lies in implementing gradual transformation
of the team from the traditional model through the team spirit model to the cutting edge one, considering
the academic group studying a foreign language as a team with the teacher performing the role of a team
leader, while applying the task force model for the temporary groups created for performing particular
tasks, and a virtual model in the current realities of online learning.
Such a detailed analysis of teamwork will contribute to its more effective application in the learning
process to achieve the synergy effect by creating a real team or a higher quality team depending on the
availability of resources, capabilities of the teacher as a team leader at the initial stages, and skills of the
team members |
