Foreign Language Teaching Principles in the Teaching Methods Theory and in Pre-Service Teacher Training
The article highlights the concept of principles of teaching foreign languages and the approach to the selection of the key didactic and methodological ones, which was suggested by G. V. Rogova who regards these principles as the guiding rules for foreign language teachers. The author also describes the preliminary research of the results of teaching this topic in pre-service teacher-training. The evaluation of the students' lesson plans is based on two main criteria: the compliance of the plan with the principles assigned in the task and reasonable argumentation of all the practical decisions made by the students.
