Abstract

Teaching foreign language to students of non-linguistic specialties is an important element of the modern educational system. Foreign-language competencies are in demand in the labor market, accordingly, training at a modern university should be aimed at maximizing the market’s needs for specialists who are well versed in the language. Critical thinking allows to actively master new language forms, and teacher planning should systematize the conditions for including critical thinking in the educational process. The article assesses various forms of intensification of the language learning process, through the use of active forms of learning. The professionalization and inclusion of sectoral language translations in the educational process will increase the level of knowledge in the main specialty and language skills in a foreign language.
