Abstract

Taking a professional text as the main educational and methodological tool in teaching a foreign language for special purposes, the paper attempts to present modern approaches to the transmission, perception, analysis, memorization and other processes related to working with a text, which, in addition to the main goal of teaching a foreign language for special purposes, develop a number of skills and opportunities necessary for further professional activities. It is not only in terms of learning a foreign professional language, but also in those of the development of a number of important skills in students that will help them in the future to more easily cope with tasks for identifying the level of foreign language proficiency, assigned by both international and some local employers. As an alternative to usual methods, which mainly focus on memory and a number of mechanical actions for perception, memorization, reproduction of a foreign text, vocabulary enrichment, the proposed approaches activate a number of neurolinguistic features of students, in particular, centers of cognitive perception. Instead of the standard scheme of working with texts according to the “read-translate-retell” formula, strategic reading methods are proposed, including elements, such as activation, generalization, monitoring and clarification, visualization and organization, information search and selection, questioning and making assumptions, as well revealing the semantic core, analysis and synthesis of both written and oral texts.
