Abstract

The article describes the results of a methodical experiment organized to test the effectiveness of the English language lexical competence formation of future civil engineers in professionally-oriented reading. Two methods of active reading (Know-Want-Learn (KWL) and Survey, Questions, Read, Recall, Review (SQ3R)) have been selected and substantiated for the experimental training. Exercises and tasks with authentic visualization of educational information have been developed. According to the hypothesis of the experiment, the formation of lexical competence of English language in professionally-oriented active reading for students of the field of knowledge 19 Architecture and construction, specialty 192 Construction and civil engineering will be effective provided by the using of a subsystem of exercises and tasks developed on the basis of authentic visualization of educational information and special selected authentical professionally-oriented texts; implementation of training at the pre-test, text, post-text stages on the basic of KWL and SQ3R methods of active reading. The experimental testing proves the effectiveness of the developed exercises and tasks and the presented methodology. The results of the efficiency of the methodology have been confirmed by the methods of mathematical statistics. Key words: methodological experiment, experimental training, results of the experiment, the formation of lexical competence, future civil engineers, professionally-oriented reading, active methods of reading.
