Teaching Foreign Languages in Higher Education Institutions Based on Pedagogical Diagnostics

In modern education, significant efforts are being made to improve the teaching of foreign languages. This article emphasizes the importance of pedagogical diagnostics in enhancing foreign language teaching, by utilizing specialized models and sub-models for proper organization. The article clarifies the significance of teaching foreign languages in higher education institutions through pedagogical diagnostic methods, summarizes existing scientific approaches for improving foreign language teaching using pedagogical diagnostic methodology, identifies difficulties that arise in the process of acquiring foreign language skills among students through pedagogical diagnostics, and suggests appropriate exercises to overcome them. The article evaluates the practical effectiveness of the development and implementation of models and sub-models of pedagogical diagnostic processes in teaching foreign languages in higher educational institutions. The main tasks involved include the organization of pedagogical experiments and the statistical analysis of their results.
The predictive stage of pedagogical diagnostics is based on scientific evidence and aims to enhance the quality of foreign language education. This stage involves predicting the students' future success in learning a foreign language and planning the educational process to maximize productivity. By doing so, it becomes possible to identify and eliminate any deficiencies in students' foreign language skills. The “Diagnostic education model” consists of four steps: organizational-preparatory, process, diagnostic, and reflective. This model describes the active role of the organizer in the diagnostic process and the “Sub-model of diagnostic and professional knowledge of the teacher” as well as the assessment processes of the diagnostic process. A “Diagnostic assessment submodel” was also developed to further improve the diagnostic process.
During the research, we carried out pilottesting works to implement our goals and tasks. We selected pilot-testing sites from five regions across the republic and involved respondents. We summarized the results at the beginning and end of the experiment and determined general growth indicators based on mathematical and statistical analysis. In conclusion, diagnostic testing helps to determine the skills that need to be developed for any foreign language learners in the educational system, thereby forecasting their knowledge levels and skills.
