ORGANIZATION OF SELF-STUDY LEARNING FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

The article discusses some approaches to organizing the cognitive activity in self-study mode when teaching English to engineering students. One of the ways to solve the problem of successful mastery of a foreign language by students of non-linguistic universities is an effective structure and content of learning activities which foster and develop a secondary linguistic personality. The experience of creating an alternative educational environment for engineering profile of education taking into account the joint management of the teaching/learning process by all participants has been considered. The necessity of integrating the educational content of the «foreign language» discipline with the educational content of other academic disciplines in the field of student training for creating a bilingual thesaurus has been emphasized. Authentic professionally oriented texts contribute to forming a secondary linguistic personality and developing the communicative skills for interaction in a professional environment, and if necessary, in cooperation with multinational companies. Attention is drawn to the content and methodological aspect of the educational environment, based on the author's course with motivating learning content. It is noted that an English language teacher should have a sufficient understanding of the students' future occupation. Special attention is paid to overcoming the negative consequences of language interference, which slows down linguistic meta-awareness formation in developing communicative competence in English. It is proposed to involve students in independent cognitive activity using specially created grammar files that help in developing the declared communicative skills. The influence of the Internet communicative environment on enhancing the efficiency of English language learning and access to professional information has been shown.
