Abstract. This article provides the system of management in teaching foreign languages
in higher educational institutions and its main features and roles in the modern life. It focuses
on the management of English language teaching in higher education by understanding target
situation analyses at the socio-cultural level.
Key words: Management, language teaching, English language teaching, higher
education.
ТЕОРИЯ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ЯЗЫКООБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬЮ В
ВУЗАХ
Аннотация. В этой статье представлена система управления преподаванием
иностранных языков в высших учебных заведениях, ее основные особенности и роли в
современной жизни. Основное внимание уделяется управлению преподаванием
английского языка в высших учебных заведениях путем анализа целевой ситуации на
социокультурном уровне.
Ключевые слова: Менеджмент, преподавание языка, преподавание английского
языка, высшее образование.
The term “management” originates from Latin, where 'manus' means 'hand,' and from the
French root 'manège,' linked to horse training. Learning to ride a horse involves guidance from
an experienced horseman, teaching riders to familiarize themselves with the horse, control it on
the ground using reins, then properly mount it with stirrups, saddle, harness, and reins. Managing
people shares similarities, where managers guide and train employees to perform tasks within an
organization after hands-on training as apprentices. Management involves directing affairs and
employing skills to handle, control, and tactfully guide individuals to accomplish their assigned
work.
Ivancevich and Gibson [4] define ‘management’ as “the process undertaken by one or
more persons to coordinate the activities of other persons to achieve results not attainable by any
one person acting alone” (added italics). Three words in this definition need close scrutiny:
Process, activities, and coordination; maybe, not in that order though.
A. Process The word ‘process’ generally means a standard, succeeding altering of
observable fact or a general phenomenon and its seamless transition to another. A process is thus
a reference to the manner of doing something using a particular method involving a number of
steps or operations. A process leads to change as it apparently happens when a ‘filament of
platinum is introduced into a chamber containing oxygen and sulphur dioxide’ to form
‘sulphurous acid’ to borrow an analogy from Eliot . Our focus is not on the filament of platinum
acting as a catalyst; rather it is on the process itself that yields sulphurous acid – a change due to
the chemical reaction.

Change is thus the outcome of a process and its failure indicates the fact that there might
be something wrong with the steps involved in the methodology that was used. The aim of the
process is to achieve results. However, results are dependent on the aims and objectives of the
enterprise of which this process is a part. This is a process in which results cannot be obtained
single-handedly but requires effort put in by many hands working together. There are individual
differences that one must contend with: differences in terms of ideology, values, work ethics,
abilities, perceptions, style of working etc., and these differences have to be resolved so as to
find a solution acceptable to one and all.
B. Activities Activities are involved in a process, like the one of mixing oxygen and
sulphur dioxide together as a part of the steps leading to the production of sulphurous acid.
‘Activity’ can be defined as something that stands for a particularly human relation to the world
outside. It is basically a process in the course of which man replicates or reproduces and
ingeniously transforms nature. Human beings establish their relations with the twin worlds of
knowledge and experience through their activities, and are the subject of the activity initiated and
the phenomenon its object.
Focusing on the above mentioned view on the subject, we find that reproduction and
creative transformation are the products of the process. In reproducing nature, human beings
make, form, or bring it into existence again or anew in some way, and this is tied to creative
transformation, which is the process of changing the form or outward appearance, the condition,
the nature, the function, or the character of something to another of a similar kind demonstrating
inventiveness.

C. Coordination Activities need to be structured and coordinated to produce effective results.
Coordination entails the process of bringing something into proper order or relation by adjusting
its various parts so as to ensure harmony and, in so doing, make for efficient and effective control.
Conclusion
Despite meticulous analysis and careful consideration of available information, managers
rely on intuition in crafting their vision, plans, and strategies. While they gather and analyze
information rigorously to arrive at logical decisions, the reality is that managers often lack
complete access to all relevant data. Hence, they frequently depend on their intuition.
Studies indicate that managers whose instincts are accurate tend to achieve success, akin
to entrepreneurs, showcasing the importance of intuition in managerial decision-making.
This would lead us to believe that a certain entrepreneurial spirit is what is expected, and
a degree of intuition of the manager is required to be successful. Also, they have to be fair in
order to be successful; it is when people feel that they are not being treated fairly that there are
problems. Lastly, there are problems when managers behave in a way so as to give an impression
that they are not concerned about issues of fairness.
