LINGUODIDACTIC POTENTIAL OF A FRAME LEARNER’S DICTIONARY

Abstract

Currently, scientists are considering ideas about the possibility of using the cognitive category “frame” in the process of teaching foreign languages and in educational lexicography. In this regard, the idea of transforming a frame from cognitive linguistics into educational lexicography, namely into a frame learner’s dictionary, seems prospective and relevant, since it is caused by objective need to intensify the learning process based on modern approaches. Contemporary research in the field of psychology and methods of teaching foreign languages show that knowledge is stored in long-term memory in a compressed form, that is, in the form of cognitive mental structures – frames, therefore the idea of their application in a new genre of vocabulary is to represent knowledge in the form of frames. A frame learner’s dictionary can be used as a linguodidactic means of teaching productive types of speech activity. Each frame article contains samples of dialogues and monologues built on the linguistic and speech material of an objectified lexicalized frame, and is used as a means of transmitting knowledge about a typical communicative situation and as a basis for developing speech skills.
