Содержание пособия соответствует требованиям государственного образовательного стандарта высшего образования, утверждённого приказом Министерства образования и науки Российской Федерации «07» августа 2014 г. № «940» по направлению подготовки 45.03.02 «Лингвистика». Пособие ориентировано на формирование культуры устной речи на английском языке, лингвистического мировоззрения языковой личности, нацелено на овладение национально-культурной спецификой лексического, семантического, грамматического, прагматического и дискурсивного аспектов устной речи английского языка. Каждая из дидактических единиц состоит из двух разделов. Первый модуль посвящен проблемам человека и его социального окружения, второй модуль раскрывает разные виды деятельности человека. Аутентичные материалы, постановка тематических проблем и заданий к ним способствуют развитию всех коммуникативных умений, позволяют контролировать основные речевые умения и навыки, а также развивать лингвострановедческий и социокультурный кругозор.
Учебное пособие по английскому языку, состоящее из двух модулей, предназначено для лингвистов-переводчиков, а также может быть полезно студентам языковых факультетов, учащимся гимназий и лицеев, а также широкому кругу лиц, желающих изучать язык самостоятельно.
