Abstract

Among the various components of language proficiency, lexical competence—defined as a speaker's or writer's knowledge of the words and phrases of a language—is particularly critical for successful communication in written discourse. This thesis explores the role of lexical competence in facilitating foreign language communication and highlights the theory of the issue of aspects of the formation of lexical competence based on the technology of developing critical thinking. The importance of a communicative approach in language teaching is determined, in which critical thinking is considered as a didactic phenomenon, as a means of increasing the efficiency of mastering lexical material, forming the features of a secondary linguistic personality.
