“PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING”IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Abstract

The article considers a holistic concept of the problematic approach in teaching a foreign
language, taking into account its specifics. With the development of market relations, all
structures of society, to one degree or another, pass from the mode of functioning to the mode of
development. The driving force of any development is the overcoming of the corresponding
contradictions. In addition, overcoming these contradictions is always associated with certain
abilities. They imply the ability to adequately assess the situation, identify the causes of
difficulties and problems in activities (professional, personal), as well as plan and carry out
special activities to overcome these difficulties (contradictions). The educational process must be
organized in such a way as to "cultivate" these abilities in future specialists. Consequently, the
educational process should simulate the process of the emergence and overcoming of
contradictions, but on the educational content. These requirements, in our opinion, are most
consistent with problem learning today.
