Taxonomic approach in foreign language teaching

Abstract: Currently, the education system faces the task of training competent and responsiblespecialists. In our opinion, one of the ways to implement this task is the introduction into practice of schools, universities of an effective system of training and control of acquired knowledge based on the use of modern information technologies. Learning English as a foreign language, a number of sections such as phonetics, grammar, etc., cause difficulties. The paper presents the use of taxonomic structures in the process of studying complex topics of English by non-native speakers. The proposed approach to the problem solutionallows structuring, formalizing, visualizing and, thereby, facilitating the students to understand complex topics. One of the approaches to shoot the foreign language learningproblems is the use of taxonomic structures for visualization of educational material; it significantly improves the quality of mastering the language. This approach is illustrated in detail in the paper using specific examples of phonetics and grammar of the English language.

Keywords: learning process, English, taxonomy, information technologies, visualization, software.
