Учебное пособие представляет собой ресурсный курс, с помощью которого студенты самостоятельно совершенствуют иноязычные лексические навыки в процессе выполнения заданий по аудированию, составленных на основе видео, а также заданий по текстам, тематически связанным с видео. Особый акцент делается на подготовке к экзамену по разговорной практике английского языка, на котором студенты должны продемонстрировать своё умение рассуждать в рамках пройденных тем, максимально используя изученный лексический материал. Пособие включает задания, позволяющие студентам связать прочитанные тексты и просмотренные видео с собственным жизненным опытом, используя при этом новые слова и выражения. Задания по видео дают студентам возможность расширить свои познания по темам, изучаемым в рамках базового учебника. Пособие рассчитано на студентов вторых и третьих курсов, обучающихся по направлению 45.03.02 «Лингвистика». Оно может использоваться для систематической подготовки к экзамену по разговорной практике английского языка, на котором проверяется степень сформированности речевой и социокультурной компетенций учащихся, а также насколько их владение лексикой соответствует уровню C1.
