EFFECTIVE METHODS OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO STUDENTS OF NON-LINGUISTIC SPECIALTIES

Abstract

The main purpose of a foreign language is developing communicative competence. Language is a means of communication that has two forms: oral (listening and speaking) and written (reading and writing). In this paper, the authors focus on listening as an integral part of teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties. Listening is one of the topical topics in the modern methodology of teaching foreign languages, since speech communication is impossible without it. Listening with proper preparation of the material can be one of the effective ways of teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties. Listening helps to develop memory, thinking, imagination and perception, to listen attentively to the sounding speech, to form the ability to anticipate the semantic content of the utterance and thus comprehensively develop the personality.
