Forecasting the prospects for innovative changes in the development of future linguistic education for the XXI century: the choice of optimal strategies

Abstract

The paper analyzes orientations and research tools in the field of linguistics, namely the development of linguistic education, general themes and strategies, specific scientific orientations, as well as some aspects of the institutional structure where it develops. The perspective of the topics analyzes the general strategies that have already been defined by scientific thought or are still in their developmental stage and proposes their own strategies for foreign language learning. The transition to an information society has caused a paradigm shift in the gravity and role of language knowledge in society. With the regard to educational knowledge, the paradigm change can be summarized as follows: there has been a transition from the educational model characteristic of modern pedagogy to the educational model of postmodern pedagogy, which involves mainly quality learning, through a comprehensive approach, integrating the learning content at the project level of a certain learning type to achieve the ideal of learning and universal development of a holistic person. This paradigm shift is associated with the affirmation of the triad of the learning educational model: lifelong learning, self-education, and full use of educational opportunities. The paper emphasizes the importance of foreign language learning strategies in the aspect of foreign language learning and teaching. One summarizes that the context of strategies and concepts of foreign language learning describe the taxonomy of innovative strategies, consider the role of the teacher in learning and development of future linguistic education.
