Abstract
The analysis of existing studies at the scope of cognitive linguistics and the methodology of teaching foreign languages has shown a significant degree of elaboration of this topic and allows the authors of the article to talk about the great potential of using the achievements of cognitive linguistics in the practice of teaching a foreign language. The article tracks the causes of the increased interest in recent cognitive language studies and approaches to the study of cognitive linguistics. The authors point out the special role of cognitive linguistics as a new scientific paradigm in the practice of teaching foreign languages. The general modern tendencies typical for the given scientific direction are commented with reference to the teaching of English in a law school. The examples of the difference in the compatibility of linguistic units in Russian and English show the need for developing students’ conceptual analysis skill. The authors explain how the achievements of cognitive linguistics can be used in teaching a foreign language, including English, to Russian-speaking students. The proposed cognitive-linguistic methods, study of the external frame structure of the word, the conceptual analysis and the formation of interpreting skills of foreign concepts, according to the authors, can significantly improve the effectiveness of teaching a foreign language, including English, at various levels of education and in various higher and secondary educational institutions.
