CRITERIA FOR THE SELECTION OF PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED VOCABULARY IN A NON-LINGUISTIC UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The article highlights a problem of vocabulary selection for students studying a foreign language in a non-linguistic university. At present, the need for the development of the language component of higher education, which is formed in the context of globalization in terms of oral and written communication, linguistic and cultural aspects, is constantly growing. The main criteria that should be followed in the lexical content of educational materials are considered. Each of these criteria is analyzed in detail through the prism of possible practical use in the educational process. The importance of the relationship between the lexical corpus of the subjects of the main specialization and the language course is deduced. The author concludes that the lexical content of educational materials should clearly correlate with the basic subjects of the specialty, including in terms of correspondence to the topics studied in various courses. Compliance with this condition allows you to maximize the level of students’ mastery of the subject taught.
