needs of the labor market, as well as introduce
international educational standards and evaluate the
quality of higher education institutions. improving
efficiency was set as a priority task. As a result, the
possibility of teaching languages integrated with
subjects in higher education institutions has expanded.
The main results and findings
Home reading, which is an independent method of
teaching a foreign language in higher education
institutions, has not been fully studied and it has not
been determined that it has the required didactic
potential. It is known that artistic texts are of special
importance in teaching a foreign language. M.K.
Borodulina believes that "artistic works are a priority
example in learning a foreign language following the
norms of the literary language" [2; 154-b]. The literary
text provides an opportunity to observe the presence
of language in the speech of the author and his
characters, observe the methods of expressing
thoughts in a foreign language, and directly perceive
the meaning of what is being read.
According to V.P. Rudnev, although fiction is not a
reflection of reality, it is "a reflection of speech activity
specific to the national language culture belonging to
the author. The material of artistic prose is ordinary
speech activity, i.e., the artistic text reflects the real
modern speech activity of native speakers and is
characterized by saturation with national-specific
concepts, socio-cultural conditions of reality in a
foreign language" [3; 53-b). The linguistic form of the
text is a vivid example of the use of language tools to
express the author's goals and thoughts.
Viewing language as a culture means that it is
appropriate to refer to fiction. We believe that well-
targeted "texts for reading" can be an effective factor
in increasing the vocabulary of a future teacher. This
situation, in turn, undoubtedly increases students'
desire to learn a foreign language as a future specialist.
Teaching the future professional language based on
the study of literary texts of modern authors has the
following positive aspects. First of all, it should be
noted that reading works of art serves the personal
development of students, the development of high
moral qualities, critical thinking, and a firm life position.
It cannot be denied that literary works are
masterpieces of the culture of a certain country,
affecting the main ontoanthropological problems of
the studied language culture and time [4; 8-b].
A literary work that is a permanent storehouse of
various linguistic, grammatical, linguo-cultural, stylistic,
socio-cultural information significantly enriches the
worldview of students, increases their linguistic level,
provides material for independent conclusions and
generalizations, and contributes to the field of
language education. Lajak develops professional
thinking of specialists.

According to N.M. Ahmedova, working with real texts
in the audience allows to create situations as close as
possible to the professional sphere, to understand the
professional reality in the country where the language
is studied, and to develop the correct ideas about the
professional culture in the country. The use of
authentic (original) texts is one of the main factors for
students to move freely in a professional environment
in a foreign language, to apply their knowledge, skills
and abilities in a specific life situation[5; p. 75].
Works used as home reading, devoted to the most
pressing problems of the past and present, rich in
various plots, create psychological conditions for
students' speech, improve oral speech, skills and
abilities of future professionals. serves as a basis for
development. And finally, reading fiction, which is
especially important for us, stimulates the student's
mind to constantly repeat lexical units in a new
context, as well as to combine already learned
grammatical structures with new lexical material. Such
repetition of lexical units creates a convenient
opportunity for strong acquisition of vocabulary and its
future use by students.
In the process of developing the professional lexical
competence of future foreign language teachers,
viewing the text as the main basis (basis) is based on a
number of factors[6; p. 21]:
• "text" is a type of oral speech, which includes verbal
and non-verbal intellectual processes performed to
organize meanings during the speech process, both as
a means of information for communication and as a
means of linguistics works as a basis;
• communication through the text is a complete form
of information, therefore the text serves to develop
the language and speech competences of the student;
• Through text, you can organize different types and
forms of work.
In home reading classes, graphic texts of various
genres and styles of communication, suitable for the
language of education, showing any foreign language
culture, are a source of information.
It is known that working on the text in the process of
studying at home has different goals in the educational
institution of pedagogy, and accordingly, the text also
performs different tasks, which are as follows:
assimilation of lexical and grammatical material;
development of oral and written speech; linguistic
observations and expanding linguistic knowledge;
motivational tools for learning a foreign language; a
means of achieving the goal of learning, that is, a
second language works as a means of personality
development.

According to I.B.Utayeva, it is possible to present
grammatical material to a foreign language in 2
different ways. These methods are as follows[7; p. 74]:
1. Using the lexical method.
2. Using models.
Grammatical events that are rare in the language are
explained by the lexical method. According to this
method, students are introduced to specific
grammatical phenomena and the translation, meaning
and application of these phenomena are shown.
Explaining the grammatical phenomenon with the help
of models is a common method in methodology. The
model means the potential, abstract, minimal
representation of the language being studied, which is
represented by conditional signs that meet the
requirements of phonetic, lexical, and grammatical
norms.
In order to study the specific features of language in
the field of foreign language teaching practice and
professional pedagogical activity, it is important that
we turn to the theory of text comprehension from the
perspective of psycholinguistics.
The process of understanding the text requires hard
work, as a result of which the main idea is extracted
from the broad information, the received message
forms a certain set of meanings for the receiver. This
happens by compressing the message into a semantic
theme, a kind of internal code equivalent to the
perceived textual content.
V.I. Narolina [8; p. 45] believes that before
understanding the text, it is necessary to determine
the contextual meanings of words, as well as to
understand their syntactic structure. Yu.N. Karaulov
emphasizes that it is necessary to know the vocabulary
well in order to understand the texts correctly: "Behind
the understanding of the text is the student as a
listener, and the understanding usually occurs through
the "language-concept" channel: symbols are used in
the process of understanding the text. changes and
recreates the standard understanding of the text" [9;
p. 204].
Despite many studies, scientists have not agreed on
the nature of understanding. Understanding is
considered from two sides - as a process and as a result,
as a result of the process. In the process of
understanding, thinking, memory, ideas, recovery and
creative imagination, emotional-volitional and other
mental processes, characteristics and abilities of a
person are combined into one node. Revealing the
semantic content of a work of art is related to the
following mental operations: comparison, prediction,
estimation,
analysis,
synthesis,
induction
and
deduction,
critical
thinking,
abstraction
and
concretization, etc., which shows the progress of the
understanding process. It is a multidimensional

thinking process, including mnemonic activity
(remembering).
Thus, the process of understanding the text is a
purposeful interaction between the text itself, internal
and external factors, passing through the prism of the
student's values and personal experience. It is our task
to teach the future teacher to correctly understand
and learn professional vocabulary based on
pedagogically oriented texts.
It cannot be denied that the reality of a foreign
language is not always reflected in an artistic text.
Nevertheless, we cannot agree that in an artistic image
there are always generalizations of other cultural
realities of life, national mentality, specific features of
speech behavior of a representative of a certain social
class, a certain profession.
It should be noted that reading literary texts in
a foreign language is associated with a number of
difficulties. Practice shows that during the reading
process, some language phenomena pose special
difficulties for the student: they are colorful stylistic
lexical units, ambiguous words, idiomatic expressions,
phraseological verbs, realias. , slang expressions, is
"non-equivalent vocabulary". What are the criteria for
choosing texts for home (independent) reading? In our
opinion, the listed language phenomena should not be
completely excluded from the text, as this deprives it
of expressiveness and originality, as well as spoils its
aesthetic perception.
We understand that working on a pedagogy-oriented
text, which is composed of professionally important
content, meets the professional interests of students
of pedagogical universities, is the main unit of
developing the professional lexical competence of a
future foreign language teacher. Now we will answer
the question of the technology of working on real text
in words.
Working with lexical units of speech is always in the
focus of foreign language teachers of higher
educational institutions. Knowing a word requires
understanding its sound and graphic forms, meaning
(or meanings if the word is polysemous), and usage.
Since the amount of polysemous words in English is
very large, the future foreign language teacher should
learn all the meanings. It activates such functions as
mastering the dictionary meaning of the word,
remembering, multiplying them, learning the meaning
of the word by memorization. The effort spent on
acquiring words is, first of all, the need to express the
speaker's thoughts, as well as their characteristics,
whether or not they correspond to the meaning in the
native language, concrete/abstract concepts. that it
has is determined by its importance in the speech.
E.I. Passov In order to effectively develop lexical
competence, recommends successful performance of

implementation of specific goals and motives of
communication. asserts that it shoots and establishes
a strong interest [10; p. 47].
The stages of development of professional lexical
competence of a future foreign language teacher can
be described as follows:
-PLC (professional lexical competence) development
technology stages
-Perception stage: selection and grouping of new
lexical units of professional texts
-Semanticization stage: focusing on the main
information, recognizing and understanding the
semantics of lexical units and forming the first concept.
-Automation stage: differentiation and identification
(separation); change by imitation; prediction;
reduction and expansion of associative (organized)
connections, etc.
Creative stage: modeling of professional conditional
situations of communication (plot, thematic, changing,
controversial, problem search).
CONCLUSION
Thus, such stages form the basis of the technology we
have created for the development of the professional
lexical competence of the future foreign language
teacher. For the effective development of lexical
competence, the importance of the successful
performance of all communicative-cognitive tasks of
speech activities and the realization of specific goals
and motives of communication was determined above,
so in special literature it has been repeatedly noted
that the main stimulator of speech thinking activity is
the task of speech thinking, because it arouses interest
in speech activity 'shoots and establishes strong
interest.
