Ways to Increase the Effectiveness of Teaching Speaking Using a System of Exercises in a Non-Linguistic University

The authors of the article focus on teaching speaking, one of the active types of speech activity. Since speaking is a key indicator of foreign language proficiency, its successful mastering is conditioned by many factors, both educational and psychological. The authors identify a number of problems arising in productive speech activities that hinder the development of speaking skills in a foreign language. They suggest methods of overcoming these difficulties with the help of a system of exercises. The authors emphasise the importance of motivation in stimulating speaking, as students are more willing to discuss topics that interest them and that meet the needs corresponding to the specifics of their daily and professional activities. A system of exercises that contribute to the effectiveness of teaching speaking in non-language universities is proposed.
