Abstract
The article is devoted to the ways of implementation of the case-method in teaching English at the courses of further education for adults. Using case-method allows to implement the principles of functional approach in teaching foreign languages and to imitate a true-to-life everyday or professional problem situation. On the base of a case-situation a teacher can make up a set of language and communication tasks that help use the resources of the text in a foreign language. The article presents the author's training toolkit including the text of the case, tasks for discussing the problem situation as well as vocabulary, grammar and communicative exercises on a definite theme. The toolkit was tested at the courses for adult students organized by the Academy of foreign languages from A to Z of Astrakhan state university in 2020. The materials presented in this article can be used in teaching English as a foreign language.
