ABOUT THE ISSUE OF STRATEGIC THINKING IN LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Mastering a foreign language is divided into two stages - passive and active. With passive knowledge, the main role is played by recognition (the involuntary aspect of memory work), and with active knowledge, recall (search for information in memory, i.e. a more difficult process). A special issue in teaching is strategic thinking and the use of interactive technologies in the classroom. In the process of teaching students a foreign language, along with practical classes, lectures of a linguistic, regional studies and methodological nature play an important role. Practical language classes are also important, which require students’ indispensable foreign language speech activity. The listed issues are discussed in this article, which is based on a large amount of methodological material.
