Students' independent work: challenges and solutions

Abstract

Students’ independent work is an essential component in the development of language disciplines and in the further development of professional skills. The article discusses the problems arising from the inability of students to work independently and the difficulties they face in the course of organizing their autonomous work. The effectiveness of the students’ independent work largely depends on the awareness of their own responsibility and the need for constant self-control. In this context, special importance is attached to the organization and structuring of this work, students’ understanding of goals and objectives, the choice of adequate strategies, types, forms and methods of learning, the comparison of achieved and desired results. Effective organization of independent work pursues the solution of many tasks, and the author considers it necessary to create a special course at the initial stage of training, so that students can develop all the necessary competencies.
