DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURAL AND DISCOURSE COMPETENCE OF LAW STUDENTS: COMPLEX APPROACH
The article discusses the potential of the discipline “Law Students’ Speech Culture” in developing linguistic, discourse, and communicative skills of law students. Particular traits of professional speech are taken into account; students acquire linguistic resources of Russian (official) language and develop their ability to choose the most appropriate linguistic means in a given professional situation. The author argues in favor of a complex approach to the choice of linguistic material and teaching methods. Such an approach would optimize the process of education and meet the challenge of the development of signifi ant competencies in future lawyers.
