Введение

С появлением стандартов третьего поколения, нацеленных на компетентностно-ориентированное образование, одной из приоритетных целей современного иноязычного образования становится формирование умения осуществлять профессиональную деятельность на иностранном языке. Студент нелингвистического вуза должен овладеть коммуникативными умениями, необходимыми для устной и письменной коммуникации в различных ситуациях профессионального общения, что предполагает активное формирование иноязычной профессионально-речевой компетентности, которая является составляющей иноязычной профессионально-коммуникативной компетентности, означающей способность выражать свои мысли с помощью языка и понимать мысли других людей в процессе речевой интеракции.

Учебное пособие «Профессиональный английский для ландшафтных архитекторов» направлено на достижение вышеназванной цели. Данное пособие выполнено в соответствии с педагогической технологией «Развитие критического мышления через чтение и письмо» и нацелено на формирование базовых знаний по специальности и овладение профессионально-ориентированным английским языком. Материал пособия включает как тексты учебного характера, в которых широко представлена терминология области, так и различные упражнения, способствующие не только формированию умений чтения и расширению лексического запаса студентов, но и нацеленные на формирование умений говорения на профессиональном английском языке.

Особый интерес представляют включенные в пособие тексты. Они современны, заимствованы из оригинальных источников и соответствуют темам основного курса обучения архитекторов. Существенным фактором, способствующим поддержанию интереса студентов к изучению профессионального языка, являются задания, разработанные на основе активных методов и, несомненно, способствующие развитию речи студентов.

Данное пособие готовит студентов к будущей профессиональной деятельности. Они учатся читать профессионально-ориентированные тексты, находить и читать литературу в Интернете, делать профессиональные презентации докладов и проектов, публично выступать, писать деловые письма и письменные размышления, выражая свои мысли, отстаивая своё мнение и дискутируя на профессиональном английском языке.

Учебное пособие поможет студентам эффективно и интересно организовать самостоятельную работу над текстом, а также научиться общаться на профессиональном английском языке, что будет способствовать подготовке ландшафтных архитекторов к их будущей профессиональной деятельности.

Landscape Architect’s Job

There are various places for people’s activities: parks, playgrounds, colleges, soccer fields, shopping centers, backyards. What do these places have in common? They all look better with good landscaping.

Landscape architects make outdoor places more beautiful and useful. They decide where to put flowers, trees, walkways, and other landscape details. They keep sports fields in good playing conditions. They work with architects, surveyors, and engineers to find the best place to put roads and buildings. They work with environmental scientists to find the best way to conserve or restore natural resources.

Landscape architects must first consider the reason for a project. They analyze the nature around the place where they are working. They see where sunlight falls at different times of the day and year. They think about the weather, the kind of soil, the water, and the plants that are at the work location.

Then, landscape architects draw what they want the landscape to look like. Most landscape architects draw their plans using computers and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems. Landscape architects also use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to say exactly where plants and other things should be.

Once the design is complete, landscape architects write reports. They also make sketches, models, and photographs to explain their ideas. Many architects use video simulation to help clients see what the land will look like when the plans are finished. They also need to estimate how much their ideas will cost. Then, they have to get clients to agree with their ideas.

Next, landscape architects draw up a list of needed materials. Then, they tell other workers how to do the planting and construction shown in the design.

Some landscape architects work on all kinds of projects. Others focus on one kind of outdoor place. For example, they might focus on backyards, on parks, or on the land around highways. More landscape architects work on projects to help the environment or to fix historic places.

Landscape architects spend a lot of time in offices. They also work outside to see the places they are designing and to watch the work being done. Landscape architects usually work regular hours. They may work longer sometimes to meet a deadline.

Natural garden elements

Gardening is a practice to grow plants. However, creating a garden is not that easy. You need to consider various factors when you are planning to have your own garden.

Elements of a garden are very important while creating the garden. The garden elements are mainly of two types: natural and manmade (artificial) elements.

These are the natural elements, which are necessary for gardening. They consist of natural things such as soil, rocks, water, plants etc.

· Soil: This is the most essential element for successful gardening. Three important things should be considered while selecting the soil such as the soil texture, soil nutrients and soil pH.

· Rocks: There are various types of rocks used in the garden for the decorative purpose. The different types of rocks are flagstones, white marble, river rock, pea gravel, boulders, fake rock, etc.

· Plants: Different types of plants are used for various types of gardening. For example: if you are planning to create a vegetable garden, then select plants such as tomatoes, radish, carrot etc.

· Water: Water is the most essential element for gardening. Watering the plants regularly is necessary to keep the plants healthy and growing.
