means, forms of organization of training and, in
turn, is conditioned by them [9].
The system of teaching a foreign language
is based on the provisions on the universal
connection and interdependence of the
phenomena of reality, on the integrity of the
continuously developing world and the
systematic reflection of our knowledge about it.
The integrity of the system is ensured by the
diverse connections between its elements and
their interaction during the functioning of the
system. With regard to teaching foreign
languages, it is advisable to consider the
concept of a system at two levels: at the level of
the most significant phenomena and processes
that determine the initial provisions of the
methodology of teaching foreign languages; at
the level of the pedagogical process, that is, the
activities of the teacher and students, mediated
by the educational complex, which determines
the final result - a certain degree of training.
The methodology of teaching foreign
languages is associated with a number of other
sciences - basic and related. The basic sciences
include philosophy, pedagogy, psychology,
psycholinguistics, linguistics, communication
theory, etc. Data from related sciences are used
by the methodology as a means of ensuring the
effectiveness and reliability of their research.
The connection with linguistics is
important and necessary for the methodology.
The subject of training is the teaching of speech
activity on the material of the language.
Linguistics, on the other hand, describes the
main systemic properties of a particular
language, formulates them in rules that are
actively used by the methodology in the
development of specific training models.
The technique is closely related to
psychology. The methodology uses the data of
psychological science on the peculiarities of
perception in teaching a foreign language, the
role of thinking and its connection with
language, the relationship between the
conscious and the unconscious (a combination
of voluntary and involuntary attention,
awareness and imitation), the formation of
skills and abilities, the motivation of
educational activity, etc. the provisions of the
methodology is based on the research of L.S.
Vygotsky, S.L. Rubinstein, A.N. Leont'ev, in
which the theory of activity, in particular
mental activity, is developed, draws on data on
memory problems, the formation of speech
skills, speech mechanisms, takes into account
the theory of attitudes, etc. A great contribution
to the development of the methodology was
made by scientists who devoted their works to
the development of issues of teaching a foreign
language. The merit of V.A. Artemova, B.A.
Belyaev and other psychologists is that they not
only approved speech as an object of training,
but also provided a psychological justification
for the need to teach speech in all forms in a
foreign language. Based on general psychology,
educational psychology, psychology of teaching
a foreign language, the methodology draws
from them data on the psychological
characteristics of speech, on speech, oral and
written, external and internal.
It is undeniable that using the general
psychological concepts of the formation of skills
and abilities in activity, the methodology refines
them on the material of its own subject and
enriches the general psychological theory of
activity with such specific categories as speech
skill, speech skill. Consequently, the connection
between the methodology and psychology
should be understood not as an elementary use
of psychological theory by the methodology, but
as bilateral dialectical relations that contribute
to the mutual clarification, supplement and
enrichment of the theories of both sciences.
Connections
with
psycholinguistics,
which have developed at the intersection of
psychology and linguistics and which study the
mechanisms of speech generation (expression
of thoughts) and speech recognition (speech
understanding), are important for the
methodology. Knowledge of the mechanisms
for the implementation of speech activity is of
