Abstract

The study focuses on German language learning as the
second foreign language by the future specialists of Tourism sphere at
nonlinguistic higher educational establishment in Ukraine. It has been noted
that foreign languages have a great meaning in the modern Ukrainian society.
The aim of the present study is to examine the level of German knowledge
between two groups of students of Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical
University (Ukraine). Quantitative and qualitative research methods, students’
questionnaire, practical lessons have been applied. Taking into account the
data of the questionnaire, we have come to the conclusion that despite the
small quantity of academic hours, assigned to second foreign language learning,
the future specialists of Tourism sphere showed almost the same result as the
students, who started learning German at rural secondary school. To improve the
situation it is worth, in our opinion, to increase the quantity of academic
hours for the second foreign language study at the nonlinguistic higher
educational establishments of Ukraine and enhance the level of teaching German
at rural secondary schools.
