Although engineers spend a substantial amount of their time writing or delivering oral presentations, the typical engineering curriculum segregates communications instruction from technical coursework. But out of an increasing sense of responsibility to provide more authentic professional training, engineering educators are developing programs which bring “real-life” contexts into the classroom. As a result, technical communications instruction is changing in significant ways. Writing clinics are tailoring their services to the precise needs of those they serve and expanding the range of professional support they offer. Furthermore, writing across the curriculum has significantly influenced engineering by linking composing and understanding. New communications courses parallel professional classes, and some redesigned engineering courses actually integrate verbal communication with “subject matter” instruction, Since these broad structural renovations are paradigmatic for other professional programs, technical writing teachers can and should facilitate and support such developments.

Problem of introducing modern organizational and methodological teaching approaches to foreign citizens of scientific speaking competences at the propaedeutic stage is explored in the article. The primary task of preparatory departments and similar structures of pre-university training of higher education institutions of Ukraine is to achieve communicative competence by foreign students at a level that ensures the assimilation of scientific disciplines in the process of professional training in educational and professional programs. The leading role of the organizational and methodological model of teaching scientific speech to foreign speakers to meet their communicative needs during the study of SSS and profile disciplines is determined. A number of problems that affect the effectiveness of the formation of scientific speech skills is outlined. The issue of the absence of lexical and verb minimums in natural sciences for the initial stage of learning a foreign language is studied. The productivity of interaction of Ukrainian language teachers and profile subject’s teachers in the issues of observance of the unified language regime at the propaedeutic stage, coordination of the structure of textbooks and modeling of educational scientific texts is proved. The text-centric approach is defined as the basic methodical principle. The structure of textbooks on the introductory and basic course of SSS, methodical and didactic materials are described. The expediency of coordinating the teaching of the scientific style of speech with the practical course of the general literary language (in terms of lexical and grammatical content) and the logic of presentation of scientific topics of specialized disciplines is noted. It is proved that the introduction of the studied model has a positive effect on the formation of starting skills of scientific speech and Ukrainian-language communicative competence of foreign students in the professional sphere.

It provides pertinent examples for teaching students the concepts of audience, purpose, research and sources, use of background experience, and thoroughness in compiling data. It also supplies ample models of technical definitions, descriptions, processes, and theories. Finally, Moby-Dick demonstrates the kind of energetic technical writing that is so needed today.
