ON THE FORMATION OF GENERAL SCIENTIFIC LEXICAL LANGUAGE COMPETENCE OF THE STUDENTS OF A TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

Today, globalization is at its peak, and knowing foreign languages is no longer a simple sign of high-class, or intelligence, but, in many circumstances, a prerequisite.
The social significance of foreign languages is currently very high. Knowledge of a foreign language is today regarded as an essential attribute of achieving professional and personal success. Without professional knowledge of a foreign language, it is very difficult to find interesting, well-paid work with growth prospects, to carry out professional activities at a high level, to keep abreast of new developments and achievements in the field of professional interests. For a comprehensively educated modern young specialist, a graduate of a technical college, there should be no language barriers. He must feel equally comfortable both in his homeland and in any other country where he will have to go or work.
Therefore, the universities of Ukraine are tasked not only with high-quality teaching of foreign languages, but also with the formation of educated, competent specialists. A special role is given to the general scientific lexical competence of students, knowledge of the general scientific vocabulary of a foreign language and the ability to use it in professional communication.
