Abstract. The article discusses the technique of using “Mind maps” for combined listening and speaking training for students of language training profiles. Listening comprehension is used as a basis for constructing a monological utterance. While listening to the text, the student fills in the Mind map prepared by the teacher, entering important details into it in the volume and in the sequence that the mapmaker intended to achieve the goals of this exercise. The completed Mind map serves as a prompt for the student to create his own oral monologue on the topic covered in the text for listening. The application of the “Mind maps” technique in English language classes at a university is substantiated, and the course of the lesson in which this method can be used is described. As a result of the testing of this method among students of the 3rd year of the language profile, its effectiveness for the development of foreign language communicative competence in the absence of a language environment was confirmed. The article provides data from a survey of students participating in the testing, and concludes that it is advisable to use the “Mind maps” technique, taking into account the development of students’ creative thinking and the ability to establish hierarchical and logical relationships.

Keywords: Mind maps, listening comprehension, speaking, technique, English.

Abstract. The article presents the features of the anthropological turn in modern science and substantiates its specificity. The necessity of its application in retrospective pedagogical research is proved as it can change the “standard model” and typical errors of such research. The possibility to define the goal of anthropological historical and pedagogical research as “construction of phenomena” of the history of education and pedagogical thought is substantiated. The paper defines the main characteristics of anthropological historical and pedagogical research (range of topics, conceptual foundations, methods, sources, etc). A conclusion is made about the need to expand the problem field and methodological research apparatus on the history of pedagogy and education through the use of the anthropological approach, which will require the harmonization of the criteria for their expert assessment.

Key words: anthropological approach, history of everyday life, methodology, history of pedagogy and education, dissertation research, scientific standard.
