CONCERNING THE RATIONALISATION OF ENGLISH IDIOMS, PHRASAL VERBS AND COLLOCATIONS TEACHING TO STUDENTS OF NON-LINGUISTIC DEPARTMENTS

Abstract

This article considers the issue of rationalising of the English language idioms, phrasal verbs and collocations teaching, which is one of the most relevant fields in modern linguodidactics. The aim of the study is to identify the main methods of rationalisation available to the teacher in the field. We used the following methods: observation, experiment, data description and their analysis. As a result, we presented the history of the issue in Russian linguodidactics and lexicography, reviewed and analysed both theoretical and educational literature on the issue under study. The conclusions were made about the efficient ways to combine electronic resources with traditional printed materials, selective support in the native language, careful and finely attuned material selection, concentric presentation and consistent consolidation of the studied material based on students' majors as well as their individual character traits and native language. All this will combine to suggest the appropriate approach to the issue we are investigating.
