Abstract: Language in its broader context considers the origins of language; how children
or adults acquire language and so on. Methods successfully uses the results of linguistic
investigations in the selection and arrangement of language material for teaching. English
language is very important nowadays. More and more people need English to attend universities
and colleges, because now we have an opportunity to get higher education abroad. New ideas in
science and medicine happen so quickly that it is impossible to translate everything into different
languages. Most articles are published in English. English is the language of international
communication in many areas of life: trade, air and sea transport, tourism and sport
Keywords: physiology, language of international communication, linguistics, abstract,
definitions.
«Methods of foreign language teaching» is closely related to other sciences such as
pedagogics, psychology, physiology, linguistics, and some others. Pedagogics is the science
concerned with the teaching and education of the younger generation. Since Methods also deals
with the problems of teaching and education, it is most closely related to pedagogic. To study
foreign language teaching one must know pedagogic. One branch of pedagogic is called
didactics. Didactics studies general ways of teaching in schools. Methods, as compared to
didactics, studies the specific ways of teaching a definite subject. Psychology - the scientific
study of the mind and how it influences behavior. If a teacher wants his/her students to speak
English, he/she should know the psychology of habits and skills, the ways of forming them.
Effective learning of a foreign language depends on the students' memory. Psychology helps
Methods in selecting techniques for teaching and learning, i.e. in how to teach in a most effective
way, for example, under what conditions students can learn words, phrases, sentences more
effectively, or how to ensure students memorizing new themes in an easier way. Physiology is
the study of life. Physiology helps us understand how the body works, from the smallest part
(cells) all the way to the whole body. It helps us understand how different parts of the body work
together. One of the forms of human behavior is language behavior, i.e. speech response to
different communication situations. Therefore in teaching a foreign language we must bear in
mind that students should acquire the language they study as a behavior, as something that helps
people to communicate with each other in various real situations of intercourse. Linguistics - the
scientific study of languages. Linguistics can be broadly broken into three categories or
subfields: the study of language form, of language meaning, and of language in context. The first
is the study of language structure, or grammar. The study of language meaning is concerned with
how languages employ logical structures and real-world references to convey process and assign
meaning. Language in its broader context considers the origins of language; how children or
adults acquire language and so on. Methods successfully uses the results of linguistic
investigations in the selection and arrangement of language material for teaching.
It is a common knowledge that there are lots of languages in the world, and some of them
fall into the category of international languages or languages of wider communication groups,

such as English; French, German, Spanish, Russian, Italian and Arabic. All these languages are
the official languages of the UN.
English language is very important nowadays. More and more people need English to
attend universities and colleges, because now we have an opportunity to get higher education
abroad. New ideas in science and medicine happen so quickly that it is impossible to translate
everything into different languages. Most articles are published in English. English is the
language of international communication in many areas of life: trade, air and sea transport,
tourism and sport. Kazakhstan is establishing closer economic, political, scientific, and cultural
relations with various peoples of the world. International relations are extended and strengthened
through the exchange of scientific, technical, and cultural information. In this situation foreign
language teaching is a matter of state significance. In modern society language is used in two
ways: directly or orally, and indirectly or in written form. Thus we distinguish oral language and
written language. Direct communication implies a speaker and a hearer, indirect communication
implies a writer and a reader. Hence the practical aims in teaching a foreign language are four in
number: hearing, speaking, reading, and writing.
Aims are the first and most important consideration in any teaching. Hence the teacher
should know exactly what his pupils are expected to achieve in learning his subject, what
changes he can bring about in his pupils at the end of the course, at the end of the year, term,
month, week, and each particular lesson, he should know the aims and objectives of foreign
language teaching. The changes the teacher must bring about in his pupils may be threefold:
practical - pupils acquire habits and skills in using a foreign language; educational - they develop
their mental abilities and intelligence in the process of learning the foreign language; сcultural -
pupils extend their knowledge of the world in which they live. Therefore there are three aims, at
least, which should be achieved in foreign language teaching: practical, educational, and cultural.
The aim of teaching Pronunciation is not to achieve a perfect imitation of a native speaker,
but simply to teach students to pronounce accurately to be easily understood by other speakers.
In order to communicate you should understand a person you are talking with and he or she
should understand you. Wrong pronunciation often leads to misunderstanding. Improving
pronunciation will develop your self-esteem, facilitate communication, and possibly lead to a
better job or at least more respect in the workplace. Effective communication is of greatest
importance, so choose first to work on problems that significantly hinder communication and let
the rest go. Remember that your students also need to learn strategies for dealing with
misunderstandings, since native pronunciation is for most an unrealistic goal. When we teach
sounds, we want our students not only to speak correctly, but also to recognize sound and
spelling correspondence. We also want them to be able to discriminate between similar-sounding
phonemes.Stress and its opposite - unstressed - are very important aspects of English
pronunciation. Getting the stress wrong can seriously damage your chances of being understood.
Words have their own stress pattern; e.g. water, cricket, awful are stressed on the first syllable. A
stressed syllable is usually noticeable by being slightly louder, longer and higher than the
syllables next to it. Sometimes wrong stress changes one word into another: desert - dessert
(пустыня - десерт).
There are two ways of explaining the meaning of the word: translation and direct way. The
first way of presenting the word: a direct translation of the word. Translating a new word can be
useful. It is often the simplest and clearest way of showing what a word means. When the teacher
presents words denoting abstract. Direct way of presenting the words brings the learner into
direct contact with them without using his native language. The direct way is used when concrete
words denoting concrete things, actions and qualities are introduced. The teacher uses objects,
