TO THE QUESTION OF FORMING LANGUAGE COMPETENTCE TO STUDENTS OF NON-LANGUAGE SPECIALITIES

Abstract

In the article, language competence is defined as a set of language knowledge, skills and habits, which allow to fulfill foreign language communication orally and in writing in accordance with the language norms of the language studied within certain areas and communication situations and promotes the development of language and speech abilities of non-language students. The lexico-grammatical component of language competence is considered not in isolation, but in a complex, because if the training is based on a functional approach, then for specific speech functions the selection of grammatical structures and their lexical filling occurs in unity. In this case, both vocabulary and grammar act more as units of speech than as units of language. The article does not consider grammatical and lexical units separately because they are difficult to separate into pars in the frames of a functional approach.
