Abstract

Phrasal verbs have a high communicative value and provide unlimited possibilities for expressing almost any concept. The fluency in the use of these linguistic units shows a high level of language proficiency. That is why phrasal verbs are an essential component of the English language learning process and, therefore, can be considered a key element in the formation of students’ language competence. At the same time, insufficient attention is paid to the consideration of phrasal verbs in textbooks and training manuals recommended for teaching English to students of non-linguistic specialties. The role of phrasal verbs in the development of students’ communication skills in English for specific purposes is also not taken into account. The research considers phrasal verbs as a means of language competence development of students of non-linguistic specialties in the process of learning the English language in a higher education institution. The frequency of use and communicative value of these units determines the relevance of the study. Structural and semantic relations between the components of the phrasal verb are analyzed. The article describes the phased approach to work on phrasal verbs. Some possible ways and recommendations of working on phrasal verbs as well as essential types of exercises are proposed in the article.
