LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES USING A LINGUOPRAGMATIC APPROACH BASED ON COMMUNICATIVE THEORY OF LANGUAGE

This article discusses the ways and methods of evaluating authentic materials within the framework of the linguopragmatic approach. It is noted that assessment within the framework of the linguopragmatic approach differs from assessment within the framework of the traditional theory of language. In the linguopragmatic approach, it is assessed how correctly (appropriately) the student picked up certain speech acts, how much he/she was able to recognize the socio-cultural features of a particular language and how these features affected the character, tone, style and grammar of communication. Important in assessing the linguistic and pragmatic abilities of students is the social context within which this or that communicative interaction takes place.
