Abstract:
Nowadays, it is very important to develop skills in working with text, since the failure of students to
master a particular science is often explained by their inability to work with them. They cannot isolate
the basic semantic units, single out the most essential information, trace all levels of evidence, isolate
the basic terms, etc. The text is, perhaps, the main educational-methodical unit of training. For the most
complete and adequate use of it, the teacher needs to clearly imagine and then use the content and
structural features of the text as the basis for the teacher and students to compose their own speech
works in a foreign language. This article reveals the concept of text, provides a classification of the
stages of working with text, provides techniques, and considers the nature, methodology and
effectiveness of working with text in a foreign language lesson.
