The teaching method is one of the basic categories of teaching methods. In the general didactic sense, the concept of a method includes the methods of interrelated activities of the teacher and students, aimed at achieving the goals of education, upbringing and development of students. In this understanding, the methods can be universal, applicable to teaching different disciplines, although they have their specific embodiment in each discipline. For a language teacher, methods are important as sources of knowledge, skills and abilities formation. These methods include: working with a text, a book, a teacher's story, conversation, excursion, exercises, the use of visualization in teaching. Depending on the independence of educational actions performed by students, active and passive methods are distinguished; by the nature of the work of students - oral and written, individual and collective, classroom (classroom) and home.
