Development Features of Students' Functional Literacy Through Texts in Foreign Language Lessons

Abstract

The growing role of foreign language linguistic competence and especially foreign language functional literacy of a specialist requires a revision of the theoretical foundations and approaches to teaching writing in English in a modern university. This article defends the thesis that the development of linguistic competence through the prism of translation competence plays an important role in the development of foreign language functional literacy. The presented work clarifies the concept of foreign language functional literacy of students through the prism of translation competence and foreign language linguistic competence; recommendations are offered for the further development of a model for the formation of functional literacy in the process of teaching a foreign language in a non-linguistic university.
