EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE METHODOLOGY TO DEVELOP FUTURE ENGINEERS’ ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEXICAL COMPETENCE BASED ON THE CONTENT APPROACH
Abstract
The article deals with the experimental studies and their analysis develop future engineers’ English language lexical competence based on the content approach. A special system of exercises and vocabulary was created taking into account the difficulties of mastering terms in the energy sector, which covers not only the semantics of the terms, but also their syntagmatic and paradigmatic features. The relevance of the study lies in the use of a profession-oriented communicative approach, which in many ways helps students become specialists in their fields. The subject of the study is the content of education, methods, and means of developing English-language lexical competence. The study used empirical methods, comparative, statistical methods, and questionnaires. The novelty of the study lies in improving the methodology for developing lexical competence when studying English by power engineering students. Experimental work was carried out in three universities of Uzbekistan. As a result, the content of training and the system of special exercises aimed at developing future engineers’s lexical competence have shown their effectiveness.
