PLO15. Carry out linguistic, literary and special philological analysis of texts of different styles and genres.

The program is designed for students who have studied English during the first, second and third years of study and have an appropriate level of proficiency. The student should know: basic linguistic terms; principles of language material analysis; peculiarities of semantics and functioning of units of all levels of English; be able to: apply linguistic tools in practice; have elementary skills of selection, analysis and interpretation of linguistic facts; communicate on linguistic topics. It involves comprehensive language teaching: all aspects of the language are taught in parallel with the development of language skills and abilities and communication training.

The aim of the discipline is to further improve the level of English language proficiency and develop the skills and abilities necessary for a future English teacher. Attention is paid to lexical, grammatical and stylistic analysis of the text. Students continue to consolidate and develop the skills of systematizing and generalizing linguistic knowledge from the programs of theoretical courses and elective courses. Considerable attention is paid to the systemic nature of linguistic phenomena, the relationship between vocabulary and grammar, stylistic features of language units, semantic aspects of syntax, and problems of text coherence. The training is based on the main provisions of the communicative approach to learning a foreign language using authentic materials and modeling real-life communication situations. The course is conducted in the form of practical classes and independent work of students. The course ends with an exam at the end of the semester.
