Features of teaching English to students of ecological and geographical orientation

Abstract

The article discusses the peculiarities of teaching English to students of ecological and geographical orientation. Due to the growing need for students to master a foreign language, some special subjects are taught in English. This helps students to get acquainted with international studies in their professional activities. Knowledge of the language allows students to delve deeper into relevant scientific papers, exchange experiences with foreign colleagues, and participate in international conferences and symposiums. In this regard, we have developed a profile-oriented module «Ecology and nature management». This module includes a set of exercises that train both the lexical and grammatical aspects of the English language and the development of skills in all types of speech activity. As a result of mastering the module, basic ideas about the main theoretical and applied areas of ecology and the most important environmental problems of our time are formed in English.
