The empiric basis of our survey is a course of professional German taught to all years of undergraduate and the first year of graduate students majoring in “Electrical power engineering” and “Thermal power engineering” at National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University. Among the most significant psychological and pedagogical features of the above-mentioned process one can point out the following: teaching process peculiarities (students’ educational level, specifics of a technical college, etc.), psycho-physiological features of technical students (mindset, right- or left-hemisphere dominance), overcoming the mother tongue interfering impact on the foreign language studied, material selection features that must be carried out concerning the student’s communicative and cognitive activities, and also some motivational features. The didactical features of teaching the professional communication language to technical students comprise the following six groups: lexical-semantic, pragmatic-grammatical, translative, phonetic, semiotic and rhetorical.
