The research provides a pilot three-componential model aimed at cultivating intrinsic motivation of technically-minded students stemming from comfortable and creative educational environment that simulates true-to-life situations in the English language course. To reach the aim, firstly, the relevant career-related material was compiled.

Finally, the authors assessed students’ performance and determined the correlation between creativity and productivity of future petroleum specialists.
