Abstract
Purpose. The new Federal State Educational Standard for Higher Professional Education demands the increase of out-of-class students’ self-study activity. The paper describes a pedagogical experiment aimed at optimization of self-study activities of students who are learning a foreign language at nonlinguistic faculties. The experiment was based on development and implementation of criteria-referenced testing for mastering vocabulary within the framework of extra curriculum activities. The proposed tests were graded into three levels (elementary, pre-intermediate, intermediate) as relevant to the language level of the students. The experiment was carried out at the Foreign Language Department of Samara State Institute of Culture.
Methodology. The experiment was based on the use of the following methods: questioning, interviewing, observation, statistic data processing.
Results. The experiment proved that the out-of-class self-study activities of students learning a foreign language can be effectively organized and controlled by means of criteria-referenced testing. The use of tests showed a significant decrease (by 75%) of the time spent by teachers on checking the self-study assignments and a marked increase in the quality of the work done by the students.
Practical implications. The results can be used at Foreign Language Departments for organization and monitoring the self-study activities of students of nonlinguistic specialties.
