THE SEMANTIZATION OF LEXICAL UNITS IN DEVELOPING SKILLS FOR READING ORIGINAL FOREIGN TEXTS
The article considers developing skills for reading original foreign texts, where semantization of lexical units is the key method. The notion of technology is specified in the article, types of semantization prior to and in course of the process of reading original foreign texts are analysed. The methods may be either translatable or untranslatable. The choice of the semantization method depends on many factors. It is also necessary to take into account differences in the semantics of lexical items associated with the peculiarities of the culture of the people to study foreign languages. Use of explanatory dictionaries as auxiliary means of definition of value of a unfamiliar lexical unit is also considered.
Keywords: technology, semantization, lexical units, lexical skills, the explanatory dictionary, the bilingual dictionary
