СТРАТЕГИИ И ПОДХОДЫ К ЧТЕНИЮ НА АНГЛИЙСКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ ДЛЯ СТУДЕНТОВ-ЮРИСТОВ

Аннотация

Students and professionals feel that learning English is necessary to stay competitive in their studies and careers due to the rapid globalization of the world. We are also living in the age of specializations. Individuals possess specialized knowledge in various domains; the most effective approach to acquire this kind of information is by learning several languages, particularly English, which is widely utilized globally. The study examined the impact of using English for Specific Purposes reading within the framework of the communicative approach, and the results were presented in this article for a group of law students. Results demonstrate that specialized reading encourages students to use English in everyday contexts and expands their vocabulary and knowledge of their particular field of study. Key words: law students, ESP, specialized reading, communicative approach. СТРАТЕГИИ И ПОДХОДЫ К ЧТЕНИЮ НА АНГЛИЙСКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ ДЛЯ СТУДЕНТОВ-ЮРИСТОВ Аннотация. Студенты и профессионалы считают, что изучение английского языка необходимо для того, чтобы оставаться конкурентоспособными в учебе и карьере в связи с быстрой глобализацией мира. Мы также живем в эпоху специализаций. Отдельные лица обладают специализированными знаниями в различных областях; наиболее эффективным подходом к получению такого рода информации является изучение нескольких языков, особенно английского, который широко используется во всем мире. В исследовании изучалось влияние использования английского языка для чтения в конкретных целях в рамках коммуникативного подхода, и результаты были представлены в этой статье для группы студентов-юристов. Результаты демонстрируют, что специализированное чтение побуждает студентов использовать английский язык в повседневных контекстах и расширяет их словарный запас и знания в их конкретной области обучения. Ключевые слова: студенты-юристы, ESP, специализированное чтение, коммуникативный подход. ESP might be described as a specific branch of English as a foreign language on the training of students in specific areas, Anthony (2007) points out that English can be used in academic studies or the teaching of English for travel or professional purposes, which represents a population of professionals who are involved in their own fields of study; hence, they need to delve deep into specific topics, and the ESP approach can be useful as a learning methodology. Setting up ESP, students were encouraged to find more information that piqued their interest by practicing reading within the confines of the communicative approach. They also had the chance to practice other skills, like listening to their partners, conversing about shared interests, debating and discussing the readings according to their own ideas, and summarizing and composing their own opinions. 1 32 4 International scientific journal ISSN: 2181-3906 «MODERN SCIENCE АND RESEARCH» 2023 VOLUME 2 / ISSUE 12 / UIF:8.2 / MODERNSCIENCE.UZ These assignments gave me a better understanding of the students' work and enabled me to make study-specific conclusions. The process of learning English has been changing according to the students’ needs. ESP has been an important component of that change; according to Anthony’s (2007) experience, teachers are much more aware of the importance of needs analysis in order to select materials that are closely related to the learner’s goals. Thus, we can infer that advanced and adult learners feel the need to acquire knowledge of their own fields of study. Hence, English became a tool to acquire information from different disciplines such as engineering, architecture, computer science, health, environmental protection, mechanics, accounting, and economics, among other fields. The communicative approach is predicated on the notion that effective language learning results from communicating "real" meaning; consequently, when learners engage in authentic communication, their innate language acquisition strategies are activated, which expedites their language learning process. Based on this, Hutchinson and Waters (1987, p. 25) state that ESP is "an approach to language teaching in which all decisions as to content and method are based on the learner's reason for learning," meaning that students are aware of their own learning process and the significance of learning a second language when the teacher incorporates their disciplines into class activities. Similarly, Jin, Singh, and Li (2005) discovered through their own research that one of the responsibilities of the teacher in the classroom is to develop strategies to aid students in understanding texts. This method is a productive way to comprehend the readings and the primary concepts. This finding gets me to thinking about how crucial it is for teachers to encourage and support their students' work as well as to support reading practice in ESP. Considering that the communicative approach is the material because it is the teachers' primary resource is another crucial component of
