Abstract

The paper is devoted to teaching language for specific profession-related purposes to engineering students and lecturers. The authors associate the teaching process with using the metaplan technique as the information basis of oral speech. The paper characterizes heterogeneous sign elements of a metaplan as material and ideal teaching media and reveals the mechanism of expanding compressed metaplan information. The mechanism is based on developing speaking skills in lexico-grammatical and semantic expansion of verbal information and intersemiotic translation of extralinguistic information into speech register. The authors have developed a set of exercises with due consideration of actual second-language speaking situations encountered by engineering specialists.
