Abstract
The present paper deals with the attempt to analyze the basics of the theoretical and practical issues in terms of academic conferences as part of the curriculum within the learner-oriented approach to teaching professional English as the second language (L2) to public relations (PR) undergraduates. The objective of the article is to reveal strategies and tactics, necessary for the preparation of the PR undergraduates for participation in professionally oriented scientific conferences in the English language. The research methodology relies on the previous theoretical achievements of the authors of the article, who have worked out special methods, necessary for the modelling of real life situations, including case studies, large-scale role-play games and academic discussions, alongside with the acquisition and consolidation of language knowledge and skills. The actualized skills in the specially constructed academic milieu contribute to the development of the knowledgeable and competent future experts in the field of Public Relations. The graphs accompanying the result of the present research have been created by the authors of the article. The main results of the conducted research indicate that the academic conferences held in English, contribute to effective professionally oriented English language acquisition by PR undergraduates.
