Abstract

Nowadays, learning foreign languages is an important aspect of modern human life. This article discusses methods of effective teaching of a foreign language in non-linguistic educational institutions. The author studies methods of learning foreign languages in non-linguistic educational institutions. When researching the topic, many questions arose: Is there a relationship between mastering a foreign language and the teacher's attitude to the discipline being taught? What factors influence the learning of foreign languages? Is it possible to form an interest in a subject through curiosity in the learning process? How can students be motivated to learn a foreign language in non-linguistic institutions? The main task was to find ways to solve the problem of educational material development in the absence of interest in the subject. To implement it, theoretical aspects, statistics of foreign language learning among first and second-year students of a non-linguistic educational institution based on a questionnaire, and practical methods of mastering foreign language material were used. The results were expected: Students are partially involved in the language environment due to ignorance of grammatical basics and their application in practice, misunderstanding of foreign language speech when using audio-linguistic means of communication, and, as a result, the inability to build monological and dialogical speech. Based on the survey data, it can be concluded that most students are focused on learning a foreign language, which is necessary in the future. Naturally, a conscious interest and incentive would be comfortable conditions for productive language learning, but this is more a utopia than fertile ground for students of non-core specialties. In this regard, there are questions about learning and teaching foreign languages. The primary condition in learning a foreign language is motivation.
