The conceptual analysis of the successfulness of British private classifieds
(2020) Husar, Malvina
The article offers the conceptual analysis of the main points influencing the successfulness of the British private classifieds published online. It suggests that successful classifieds are those ones which are positively accepted by the addressees, which is why the concept "positivity" is taken as the object of investigation. The paper states that the concept has a multi-layered structure, which consists of three components. The first one is nominative. It correlates with the explanatory dictionary definition which explains the word "positivity" as "something positive", "the quality of having a positive attitude", "the fact that something … has a positive result". Another component of the concept is evaluative. The values are introduced by the appraisals. The object of the appraisal in the texts of classifieds is the commodity. Depending on the background and the aspect of the appraisal, the utterances are divided into general and specific appraising. The first ones include the positive appraisal of the object in general. The second ones, specific appraising utterances, contain the positive appraisal of specific characteristics and qualities of the commodity. Depending on the aspect of the appraisal, the specific appraising utterances may characterize novelty, modernity and price of the commodity. Also, the values may be represented both explicitly and implicitly. The explicit presentation of the positive appraisal takes place via lexical units with direct positive meaning, such as: good, excellent, perfect. The implicit positive appraisal in classifieds is formed with the help of negative prefixes and particles which reduce the negative meaning of the semantically negative words, e.g., unused, never used. The last component of the concept structure is figurative. This part of the concept "positivity" is represented by physical characteristics of the commodity which should meet the requirements of the addressee. These are the desired shape, color, material, appearance, size, quantity, condition and brand. At the end the article provides the conclusions and perspectives of the investigation.

Creating ESP-based language learning environment to foster critical thinking capabilities in students’ papers
(2020) Karapetian, Alina
The purpose of this research is to experimentally evaluate how the “flipped classroom” model used to deliver Business English, which is commonly an integral part to the ESP course at tertiary schools of Economics in Ukraine, to the students majoring in Economics fosters students’ critical thinking skills and improved their academic performances and what students’ perceptions of this model are. The learning environment used a multimedia-based textbook entitled “Business skills through English”. This was experimental research which used a mixed-methods approach. Students’ critical thinking skills and academic performance (learning outcomes) were the variables for this study. Placement tests, needs analysis questionnaires, Course Satisfaction Questionnaire, a test to assess the students’ critical thinking skills were used to collect the statistical data. Cronbach Alpha coefficient was applied to interpret the test on critical thinking data and SPSS AMOS statistical package programme was used to analyse the consolidated data. The study found that the “flipped classroom” model used to deliver ESP and Business English to the students majoring in Economics has the potential to provide a better learning experience for the students and teaching experience for the teachers. This model fosters students’ critical thinking skills by involving them in problem-solving-based learning and improves their academic performances by increasing their responsibility for learning results and stimulating them to use different learning styles. Overall, the above model substitutes a teacher-centered with a student-centered approach that engages learners in the true-to-life business world and language environment. In this way, learning Business English and ESP at higher educational institutions in Ukraine is a move from just training memory (memorizing professionalism-related English vocabulary and doing grammar drills) to applying language as a learning medium in the specifically designed vocational contexts.
