The article aims to review existing literature on the pedagogical benefits as well as considerations regarding the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into second and foreign language teaching. Greater collaboration and interaction, enhanced motivation and access to a huge repository of web-based materials are among the most popular advantages of ICTs. At the same time, ICT-integration into language teaching can be challenging due to the emergence of “multiliteracies” and the not-so-ICT-competent students in the language classroom. Besides, there are language teachers who fear that their professional identity could be disrupted as they try to adopt new technologies in their teaching. However, the review also points out that technologies do not automatically result in any remarkable pedagogical benefits without teachers’ selective use. It is the teachers who enlarge the potentials of ICTs in promoting meaningful interactions and real intercultural reflections beyond the conventional language classrooms.

У статті розкрито сутність понять «діагностична компетентність» та «професійна компетентність», «педагогічна діагностика» та розглянуто модель діагностичної компетентності викладача іноземних мов вищих військових навчальних закладів (ВВНЗ). Метою дослідження є аналіз досвіду розвитку діагностичної компетентності викладачів (ДКВ) іноземних мов в різних вищих військових закладах освіти та визна-чення позитивних та проблемних сторін ДКВ іноземних мов у системі військової освіти. Визначено поняття «діагностична компетентність викладача» як сукупність теоретичних та практичних прагнень викладача до реалізації діагностичної діяльності з метою вирішення фахових вимог та завдань. На думку авторів, діа-гностична компетентність (ДК) є обов’язковою та невіддільною складовою професійної компетентності викладачів іноземних мов ВВНЗ. Остання, з одного боку, є наслідком їх діагностичної підготовленості, розу-мової, діяльнісної та особистісної діагностичної здібності, а з іншого, – фахової, суб’єктної та психологічної готовності до здійснення своєї діагностичної функції шляхом дотримання педагогічних засад та положень і творчого втілення в педагогічну діяльність новітніх та передових методів, методик, технологій та засо-бів педагогічного діагностування іншомовної комунікативної компетентності (ІКК) військових фахівців з опорою як на традиційні засади педагогічної діагностики, так і на сучасні математично-статистичні методи та засоби ІКК. Науково обґрунтовано та проаналізовано принципи, критерії і показники ДК в системі військової освіти та їх вплив на розвиток діагностичної компетентності викладачів іноземних мов ВВНЗ. Також визначено структуру ДКВ іноземних мов ВВНЗ та виділено її складові компоненти: когнітивний, ціннісно-мотиваційний, операційно-діяльнісний та рефлексивно корекційний. Сутність та властивості цихкомпонентіввідтворюються в процесі педагогічної діяльності викладачів іноземних мов. У статті проана-лізовано досвід розвитку діагностичної компетентності викладачів (ДКВ) іноземних мов ВВНЗ, а саме: засоби та шляхи педагогічного моделювання розвитку діагностичної компетентності викладачів іноземних мов ВВНЗ; необхідність впровадження технології інтегрального оцінювання розвиненості ІКК військових фахівців; впровадження та використання об’єктивних критеріїв і показників оцінювання розвиненості діагностичної компетентності викладачів іноземних мов ВВНЗ. Авторами статті розглянуті проблемні питання щодо розвитку й підвищення точностівизначення інтегральних оцінок розвиненості ІКК військових фахівців. Основна увага приділяється визначенню перспективи розвитку та використання ДК, беручи до уваги приклади її впровадження в навчальний процес у вищих військових закладах освіти України.Ключові слова: діагностична компетентність, професійна компетентність, інтегральне оцінювання, структура діагностичної компетентності викладача іноземних мов ВВНЗ.
