TEACHING AT STATIONS AS AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTATION A STUDENT-CENTERED APPROACH IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article discusses principles of a student-centered approach in the process of teaching foreign languages. As an effective method within the student-centered approach the “learning at stations” method in German language classes is used. It is established that advantages of this method include taking into account the language proficiency level of individual students, as well as a focus on developing self-control skills. The article describes possibilities of using this method in German language classes at a law university, discusses principles of this method, provides recommendations for its implementation and provides examples of tasks. Using the topic “The Altai Region. Barnaul”, the author shows the ways of using the method of “teaching at stations” to reinforce lexical and grammatical material as well as to control the development of skills and abilities. The results of the study can serve as a practical guide for teachers who want to improve the quality of language training for the students.
