Innovative methods of teaching a foreign language in non-language higher education institution

Abstract

Studies have shown that today teaching foreign languages is impossible without an innovative component. In the light of contemporary requirements to the goals of foreign language instruction, the scheme “teacher-student” has shifted towards innovative technologies. Teachers are intended to prepare in a short time specialists with a good command of a foreign language. To achieve the assigned task, i.e. to teach students within a limited period of time to talk, understand, extract comprehensive information from the original sources, is possible by incorporating traditional and innovative methods of instruction based on the principles of communicative interaction.
