Alikova S. V., Babak O. V.

The article is devoted to the study of some methods of semantization of vocabulary without translation in the study of English in a non-linguistic university. The authors focus on the difficulties faced by students at the stage of study at the university. The principles of selection of lexical material and the peculiarities of introducing new collocations are considered. The authors classify lexical exercises for finding correspondences, reproducing word-formation models and associagrams as effective methods of semantization without translation. The stage of comprehension control can be omitted in groups with a high level of English proficiency, where it will be advisable to move more quickly to conditioned speech exercises.
