Conceptual and methodological foundations for improving foreign-language lexical competence based on self-educational activities of technical university students

Abstract

The aim of the study is to theoretically substantiate and develop a model for improving lexical competence based on foreign-language self-educational activities of technical university students. The paper considers the essential and content-structural characteristics of foreign-language self-educational activities for the development of the lexical side of speech; compiles the nomenclature of self-educational strategies that determine technical university students’ ability to independently and effectively master foreign-language vocabulary. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the conceptual and methodological substantiation of the process of improving foreign-language lexical competence on the basis of self-educational activities of technical university students. As a result of the study, the authors have proposed a methodological model for improving lexical competence based on self-educational activities of technical university students.
