INTERACTIVE METHODS IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT NON-LINGUISTIC UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

The article deals with a problem of improving effectiveness of interaction between teachers and students in the process of teaching a foreign language in a non-linguistic higher education institution. As a solution to this problem, it is proposed to use various interactive methods. The description of these various interactive methods in teaching a foreign language in the frame of higher education is presented with special attention to the specifics of their use. Based on the analysis of various interactive methods used in the development of speech activity at educational seminars, a methodology for constructing practical classes in teaching a foreign language with an emphasis on the formation of speaking skills was developed. The proposed methodology is relevant for the first- and second-year students of non-linguistic universities with a level of proficiency B1 or B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). It involves the consistent organization of group, pair, individual and project work within the framework of one practical lesson in a foreign language.
