Abstract

The article analyses interdisciplinary research within the frame approach. The key points, the main concrete-scientific implication of the frame approach and its philosophical problems are considered. The author lays out the accents in terms of explication of the applied concept of "frame" and "frame-scheme", based on which, the results of philosophical reflections regarding social phenomenon are formed around the application of frame technology. In addition, the use of "frame formats" representation of educational material allows to more efficiently designing classes. The study focuses on the methodological aspects of frame modelling and structural frame analysis, as well as the application of frame modelling in foreign language teaching.

The article is devoted to the issues of intensive methods of teaching a foreign language through frame-based learning. The main properties of structuring educational and scientific information based on the frame approach are revealed. Attention is paid to the ways of grouping lexical material.

This work of the author focuses on finding a solution to the ways of constructing teaching and learning material with the help of the frame approach, which puts forward new principles of organizing training based on the use of frames. In order to integrate learning, the author proposes the developed methodological system of exercises. A model of teaching the construction of an outline in the form of a frame diagram of educational and scientific information is presented. The author offers and gives examples of using frame-schemes and frame-scenarios.

It is emphasized that frame-based learning involves the development of wide range skills needed to learn/teach both general and specialist vocabulary, as well as the skills needed to analyze linguistic structures and the cognitive frameworks they reveal.
