Abstract
Aim. To describe effective techniques for memorizing and activating new terminology by learners of English.
Methodology. The analysis of teaching and methodological sources regarding activating the introduced vocabulary in foreign language classes is accomplished; personal experience of this kind of activity with legal terminology is described.
Results. The presented methods of training the new vocabulary, aimed at its memorization and active use, will not only expand students’ vocabulary range but also allow them to improve their four basic language skills (speaking, reading, writing and listening).
Research Implications. The theoretical significance of the research consists in the conducted analysis of the important correlation between the process of vocabulary memorization and the development of students’ professional competence. The experience, described in the article, can be used to develop technologies for vocabulary memorizing and activating for all students regardless of their specialities.
