Pedagogical Conditions for Designing the Qualities of Second Language Identity of University Students of Economics

In the context of digitalization, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, general artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, and other AI applications, as well as language identification methods using artificial intelligence in multilingual environments, the anthropological paradigm of modern education is beginning to acquire special importance, which places the learner’s personality with his personal, cognitive, cultural, and professional characteristics at the center of the educational process. Modern pedagogical conditions for further training of professionals in economics and business and finance require taking into account new factors including the integration of digital tools such as artificial intelligence technologies. However, the key role remains for the methodically based development of personal qualities and professionally oriented competencies. The new contours of a rapidly changing educational environment are transforming traditional approaches to educational practice. The main megatrends pose new challenges in teaching self-identification skills in a second language. The article presents the algorithm of developing pedagogical conditions for the effective conditioning second language identity qualities of economics students. As a research hypothesis, we propose the possibility of foreign language learning integration with professionally oriented tasks to design the second language identity qualities of university students. The main focus of the article is on the effectiveness and necessity of economics students’ immersion in professional contexts of intercultural communication. The research methodology includes the analysis of scientific sources, the systematization of the pedagogical conditions for designing the second language identity qualities of economics students. The result of the study is the definition of the key second language identity qualities of economics students, such as rationality, adaptability, anticipation, efficiency, communication, initiative, highlighting certain functions of professional activity of an economist, and offering specific pedagogical conditions that contribute to their development.

 The practical significance of the research lies in the proposed pedagogical conditions that can be introduced into the educational process to improve the quality of students’ training in economics, as well as in creating systematic approaches to learning a foreign language in a professional context. The prospects for future research are in the development of diagnostic instruments to establish the degree of formation of a secondary linguistic personality’s traits, adaptive education paths taking into account students’ cognitive styles, and integration of AI technologies into the process of formation of professional discourse. Their implementation will construct an integrated system of training economists tailored to challenges in the modern labor market.
