Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyze effectiveness of using authentic auxiliary material during teaching a foreign language (FL) to optimize the educational process. Taking into account functions presented by the mass media, work with publicistic and audiovisual materials of this type is one of the leading ones in the framework of the cognitive-communicative approach to the study of a foreign language. The article provides a detailed analysis of the stages of working with the media, which include familiarization with the information, its study, discussion and the formation of a certain point of view on the communicative issue. It is concluded that working with the media while studying a foreign language involves the formation of a picture of the world simultaneously with the assimilation of a number of lexical and grammatical elements and the skills of their use in certain communicative situations.
