Abstract
The issue in question is organizing and running foreign language classes for non-linguistic postgraduates in order to meet the requirements of new educational standards when training PhD students for professional, academic and intercultural communication in a foreign language. Students should also be prepared for the postgraduate foreign language examination which, in reverse, mainly focuses on checking the postgraduates’ ability to read, comprehend and translate academic texts related to their specialty. The issue of choosing relevant learning and teaching materials is also addressed. The authors claim that using “Learning Journey Map” technology could be helpful not only in analyzing the current problems in teaching foreign language to postgraduates but also in choosing the ways to improve it both from organizational and methodological standpoints.
