METHODS AND SPECIFICS OF INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES AND DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR TYPES OF SPEECH ACTIVITY USING PERIODICALS

Abstract

The article considers implementing the integrative approach in teaching English to students as the most important task that contributes to the development of professional competencies. \nA special place of the English language in the integration of disciplines is explained by the fact that it is in close relationship with the humanities and natural sciences. Such integration can be carried out at all stages of teaching a foreign language, both at the level of the entire training system and at the level of individual disciplines. Learning a foreign language in an integrated system allows to form a more holistic picture of the world in students, in which the foreign language is a means of cognition and communication. As a result of expanding the scope of knowledge, an opportunity is created for the formation and development of broader and more diverse interests of students, their inclinations and abilities. Teaching a foreign language should be carried out through integration, through “longread”, which is a format for presenting the material in a large volume, divided into parts, usually in a video or audio format. Learning English by means of “longread” improves the learning process and develops four types of speech activity: listening, speaking, reading, writing. This training format is good because it can be applied both at universities and at distant learning.
