EMOTIVE TEXTS AS A MEANS OF FORMING STUDENTS' EMOTIVE COMPETENCE
This article demonstrates the features of working with emotive texts, which were scripts of foreign feature films in the process of learning to read in English. Working with fragments of emotive texts containing emotional situations contributes to the formation of emotive competence, which implies a deeper understanding of what is read at the level of meaning and the formation of special skills and abilities. These include the identification of participants in an emotional situation, the identification of the experienced emotions and the causes of their occurrence, the identification of emotional intentions and means of language for their verbal expression at different levels of language. The main criterion for the selection of text fragments is the presence of an emotional situation and language means expressing the emotional states of its participants. The technology of working with emotive texts involves the identification of participants in an emotional situation, the spectrum of experienced emotions, the causes of their occurrence, the identification of emotional intentions and the search for the means of language used to express them. Such work allows students to learn to recognize and correctly interpret the means of language used by native speakers in emotional situations, and brings them closer to the formation of emotive competence.
