ACTIVATION OF STUDENTS’ INDEPENDENT WORK THROUGH THE PROJECT METHOD IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article reveals a problem of developing skills of independent work of future teachers of foreign languages, based on the active use of the project method in the educational process with the students of a language university, which allows to learn English language effectively. The authors propose to introduce planning and implementation of practical tasks-projects in the format of video clips into the educational process. The project method allows students to activate cognitive and creative abilities, taking into account their personal characteristics. The paper substantiates the idea that the use of the project method will be more effective if, when working on the project, the independent activity of students is activated. The idea that the teacher plays an important role in activating the independent work of students is substantiated. That is why the teacher should competently introduce this type of activity into the educational process.
