Abstract

The article shows the new possibilities of using role-plays as part of scaffolding technology application in a technical university. Various types of educational foreign language role-playing games and simulations, modeling real situations in the professional sphere of a future specialist are compared and analyzed in detail. The stages of the given technique implementation into the educational process starting from the distribution of roles and ending with the evaluation criteria are described. An innovative approach to maintenance learning (scaffolding) using non-verbal communication as a pedagogical cue for creating and performing role-plays is presented. Role-playing games and psychodrama are compared. It has been established that role-plays not only motivate the study of a foreign language in the professional sphere, but also help to develop such basic skills of a future specialist as communication, interaction or teamwork, creative and critical thinking
