Separately, the article deals with the problem of formation of extralinguistic skills of understanding foreign language speech related to the identification of non-linguistic social reality. The methodology of constructing a system of exercises for listening is given with the allocation of three groups of tasks, involving the gradual formation of receptive listening skills when working with phonetic, lexical and grammatical material.
