THE USE OF ORIGINAL ENGLISH-LANGUAGE TEXTS OF ECONOMIC MEDIA AS A WAY TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF TEACHING PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH

Abstract

The article discusses application of original economic texts in the course of teaching professional English to students of economic fields. Due to the fact that textbooks have been written for more than one year, during this time their materials have already become somewhat outdated. As a result, it is necessary to compensate for this obsolescence by attracting fresh materials published on open English-language economic websites. In connection with the tasks set in the article, the concept of “discourse” is studied. The role and significance of economic discourse is analyzed. English is considered as the main means of international communication. The main features of the language and style of English-language economic texts are also determined. Examples of the use of a number of linguistic means in economic texts that give the text a more emotional coloring are given. The issues of translation of headings of economic texts are considered separately. Examples of the use of neologisms, phraseological units, etc. are given. The necessity of teaching economic translation as a kind of special translation is considered.
