TRAINING APPROACH FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE VOCABULARY ACTIVATION AT NON-LINGUISTIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of training as a method for activating and reinforcing foreign-language vocabulary among students in non-linguistic higher education institutions. In the context of globalization and Ukraine’s integration into the international educational space, the development of foreign language communicative competence has become a key component of professional training. Therefore, the research focuses on identifying efficient approaches that enhance vocabulary acquisition and its transition into active use.

The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive analysis of training as an integrated pedagogical tool that combines communicative, interactive, and professionally oriented approaches to vocabulary instruction. The research offers a refined understanding of training not merely as repetitive practice, but as a structured, experiential learning process that promotes the development of lexical competence through real or simulated communicative situations. Additionally, it highlights the role of contextual learning and interactive techniques in optimizing vocabulary retention and use.

The methodology is based on a combination of theoretical and empirical methods, including analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, comparative analysis of traditional and modern teaching methods, and observation of training sessions. The study also incorporates elements of qualitative evaluation of instructional practices, focusing on the implementation of interactive techniques such as role-playing, case studies, group discussions, and brainstorming activities.

The conclusions confirm that training is an effective means of enhancing both the acquisition and active use of specific foreign-language vocabulary. It facilitates the transition of lexical units from passive to active knowledge, improves communicative skills, and increases student motivation. The findings emphasize that the effectiveness of training depends on systematic implementation, communicative orientation, and the use of diverse interactive methods, making it a valuable tool in modern higher education.
