Osiyanova O.M., Demina V.D. DIDACTIC POTENTIAL OF MNEMONICS IN STUDENTS’ LINGUISTIC EDUCATIONThe requirements and standards of a modern society to the sphere of linguistic education determine the higher education modernization through technological innovation. It encourages the assimilation of a large amount of vocabulary, phonetics, grammar and other aspects of the language system that are necessary for the formation of foreign language communicative competence. There is a special interest in the didactic potential of special methods and mnemonic techniques that activate the imagination and accelerate the process of memorizing lexical and grammatical material, providing an increase in the quality of students’ linguistic education. The theoretical study allowed us to determine the mnemonics as an art of memorization and set of techniques that facilitate memorization and increase memory by forming artificial associations. The term “mnemonics” is defined as special strategies that encourage memorization, storing the information and playing it back from memory. The principle of mnemonics is based on creating images and associations of new information in the human mind. Mnemonic methods are divided into five classes: linguistic, spatial, visual, verbal, and physical response methods. In educational practice different techniques are used such as the method of phonetic associations, the method of interaction of all sensations, grouping, rhyming, free associations, mnemophrases. In the course of experimental work, it was revealed that the didactic potential of mnemonics in the linguistic education of students is expressed in opportunities for its use to facilitate the purposeful memorization of lexical and grammatical material and its further application in practice. Mnemonics allow associating the meaning of a lexical unit or grammatical rule with their sound and ensure long-term memorization. Didactic potential of mnemonics in the linguistic education of students is caused by age-related features of development and functioning of memory, the degree of intellectual development of students, level of proficiency in a foreign language, the specifics of linguistic material, the conditions of learning, teacher’s competence level. The study found that there is a positive effect in the use of mnemonics and it is revealed in formation of the foreign communicative competence, raise of the personal motivation and the development of imagination.Key words: mnemonics, didactic potential, linguistic education, association, declarative memory, procedural memory.
