Abstract:
The article considers the main aspects of the relationship of individual
psychological characteristics and motivational component with the level of ability to
master foreign languages. It was found that the ability to learn a foreign language
affects the level of overall academic performance. The following diagnostic
parameters and factors for predicting academic success are identified: the level of language training; dominance of the left or right hemisphere of the brain; level ofanxiety; properties of higher nervous activity; motivational component. In the course
of the analysis it was established that the group of students with a low level of success
is a risk group in mastering foreign languages. This group is characterized by a low
motivational component, a high level of stress and anxiety. According to the obtained
results it is possible to improve the organization of educational process at staffing of
educational groups, with an even distribution of students with high and medium levels
of projected performance. In addition, risk areas have been identified for the
formation of special control groups that need additional pedagogical assistance and
an individual approach to learning.
