Research methods:

For analyzing special features of language training lecturer’s perception that are important for students of our university we conducted a survey: “A lecturer in foreign students’ eyes”. Students of faculty of construction and faculty of architecture of Kharkiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture took part in it. This survey been held in several stages. On stage one foreign students of elder grades had to finish the sentence: “Modern university lecturer should be …” by using their own thoughts. After processing the results of our survey, we made a list of lecturer’s features that are important for students. Students of younger grades had to rank the features from the list we got. Our research has been held for 10 years. We have been using methods of covert surveillance and partial distributive analysis of researched material.
