The development of lexical competence with the help of authentic means

Abstract

Today, teaching English for Special Purposes (ESP) is becoming one of the important aspects of foreign language teaching networks. The development of scientific and technological progress, in the information age, creates the need to apply the experience of developed countries of the world to train globally competitive personnel. In this regard, research on the development of lexical competence based on real materials in teaching foreign languages for special purposes is increasing. Authentic materials are all things in the material environment that surrounds us. In teaching English for special purposes, we can see authentic materials as all the details encountered in professional processes, all the actions performed in work activities. This article reflects the results of research on the formation of a methodological system based on authentic materials in teaching English in non-philological higher educational institutions. In addition, detailed considerations are given about the relevant stages of the systems.
