THE DEVELOPMENT OF METALINGUISTIC SKILLS AS A PART OF TEACHING ENGLISH TO BILINGUAL STUDENTS
Аннотация
This article investigates the strategies of developing metalinguistic skills as a part of teaching English to bilingual students. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the teaching techniques aimed to metalinguistic development in bilingual students. The approach includes a theoretical and methodological description of the metalanguage based on the results of theoretical sources and practical experiments of foreign scientists M. Ellis, M. Schleppergell, G. Cooper, S. Dita as well as a 4-week experiment held with 18 participants. Using data collected from a group of 18 3-rd year bachelor students of Kazakh National University, it was found that the formation and further development of metalinguistic skills is an important part of teaching bilingual students that leads not only to increase the level of metalinguistic awareness but also to improve the general knowledge of both languages which students speak. As a result, teachers should use a range of techniques, such as word recognition, syntactic understanding, and vocabulary recognition exercises. Theoretical and practical implications of the results were discussed.
