Methodology. The authors analyze various approaches in the selection of lexical material and methods for the formation of professionally oriented lexical competence in a non-linguistic university, and propose their own model of practical methods aimed at the formation of this competence. Scientific novelty / theoretical and/or practical significance. The use of an integrated approach in the selection of methods for the formation of professionally oriented lexical competence in a non-linguistic university is justified.
