The use of qualitative methods in teaching english content: Introduction

Conclusion
Summing up, one of the favorable features of modular technology training is an activity of a student at school. One feature of this technology is that, in all stages of education in developing cognitive abilities of a student. Developing spoken and written language can offer students to do creative work. During the development of vocabulary, grammar, phonetic skills of a foreign language we can form activities of students in learning, the ability to work independently, the skills to draw conclusions. This is a new technology of today’s successful research.
The present research has limitations. A limitation is the empirical study conducted by involving the students and educators at master level of one tertiary institution. Therein, the results of the study cannot be representative for the whole country. As well as the empirical study outlines the opportunities of the development of students’ communicative competence. Nevertheless, the results of the research, namely, the organization model of English for Academic Purposes activity and the qualitative evaluation research, may be used as a basis of the development of students’ communicative competence at master level of other tertiary institutions. If the results of other tertiary institutions had been available for analysis, different results could have been attained.
There is a possibility to continue the study. The directions for further research are proposed to include the search for relevant methods for evaluation of each criterion of the development of students’ communicative competence as well as data obtaining, processing, analyzing and interpretation in the qualitative evaluation research. The qualitative evaluation research can be also used in empirical studies on English for Academic Purposes activity for the development of students’ communicative competence at master level of other tertiary institutions and a comparative research of different countries.
