Ways to overcome interlanguage interference in the process of learning a foreign language

Abstract

The effectiveness of the process of modernizing modern education is impossible without fluency in foreign languages. Considering the increasing role of English as a means of intercultural communication, an important tool in the process of professional training of a student, prerequisites for international cooperation, internationalization of education, academic mobility, the issue of overcoming interlanguage interference is becoming increasingly relevant, the solution of which has significantly complicated the context of modern global problems (quarantine restrictions, martial law, implementation of distance and mixed learning formats, psychological factors and barriers). The authors note that overcoming linguistic and cultural interference requires an integrated approach, since it includes not only linguistic, but also extralinguistic factors of the speech environment, conditions for communication with native speakers, etc., which, in fact, are the causative agent of interference. The most common techniques include the inclusion of a cultural component in the educational process with visualization and explanation of realities (demonstration of films, interesting situations, videos, engaging thematic podcasts, etc.). Comparative analysis of phenomena in native and foreign languages will also be an auxiliary tool, which will make the process of mastering the material more effective (interlanguage oppositions, translation, interlanguage exercises based on the principle of contrast, etc.).
