SOME ASPECTS OF EXTRACURRICULAR STUDIES FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS, CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITIES OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

In accordance with the main provisions of the new Federal State Educational Standard, studying a foreign language at university has several goals, and one of the main goals is to develop students’ communicative competence. Foreign language communicative competence has a complex structure; in particular, it includes linguistic competence. Teaching a foreign language implies getting to grips with the cultural specificities of the language. In this sense, linguistic competence plays a special role. In order to develop lexical competence during extracurricular foreign (English) language classes we should use modern information technologies, innovative methods, techniques and teaching aids. To form lexical competence in students during extracurricular training, it is necessary that students not only replenish their passive vocabulary, but also expand the active vocabulary. In this regard, it seems justified and expedient to use modern technologies of distance learning for the formation of lexical competencies.
