Contemporary Lingvodidactics: Defining Goals and Objectives of Foreign Language Teaching

Abstract

The author suggests her own interpretation of goals and objectives of foreign language teaching based on the author’s original conception of mastering a foreign language as a process of bilingual development. The final goal should be described not as a set of competencies, but as a form of bilingualism. Intermediate goals and objectives should be determined by the task of developing each block of the mechanism of language command.
