METHODS OF TEACHING VOCABULARY OF A SECOND LANGUAGE: LINGUODIDACTIC ASPECTS

In the context of multilingual education in Kazakhstan, the study of a second foreign language takes on special significance since the formation of a multilingual personality is an important direction of the language policy in Kazakhstan. University teachers face the issue of updating the methodology of teaching a second foreign language within the allocated hours for this discipline. The article is devoted to the study of some methods of teaching the vocabulary of a second foreign language to students with the state language of instruction. The article discusses the linguodidactic principles of teaching vocabulary and word formation of the German language, such as morphological, lexical and conceptual differences between the Kazakh and German languages. These features affect the selection of active vocabulary and require the use of methods that facilitate the process of mastering vocabulary. The purpose of research is to study effective methods of assimilation of lexical units and methods of word formation in the German language. Specific attention is paid to the importance of considering cognitive and linguacultural phenomena when choosing methodological approaches that help adapt the learning process to students. The article presents three effective methods identified through testing during the experiment: contextual learning, the method of interlinguistic associations and contrastive analysis.The results of the methodological experiment display the efficiency of the proposed methods for the formation of an active vocabulary in the experimental group compared to the control group. The use of these methods allows to reduce the level of difficulties that arise while studying vocabulary in German and contribute to the successful implementation of new lexical units and word-formation models.The novelty of the study lies in the adaptation and testing of these methods in the context of Kazakhstani multilingual education. The results of the study have practical importance and can be used in the preparation of curricular, massive open online courses and teaching aids for students with the state language of instruction.
