with a text and that arouse interest to the educational process are given here. The importance of text as a
necessary component of any textbook is emphasized in the work. Different lexical material that must be included
into educational texts is studied in the article. The article runs that texts for beginners must be shorter and easier
than texts for students that have been studying foreign languages for a longer period if time. The quantity of
unknown words cannot exceed 10-15 %. It is extremely important for students to learn new words and to study
new grammar structures when they work with texts. The following exercises are proposed: choosing a title,
making a plan, dividing a text into segments, looking for key words, giving one’s own opinion, making dialogues
based on the material of the text. Writing an annotation is one of the most important and difficult tasks. It shows
high level of a language command because students are able to analyze the main ideas of texts that they study.
Three types of educational texts are enumerated in the article: the first type is the text invented by authors of a
textbook; the second is authentic text that shows specific features of science, culture or economy of the country
where the text has been written; the third is the educational text that is based on an authentic one but has been
adopted to meet requirements of a University program and combines advantages of educational and authentic
texts. That is why the last one is the most effective. The authors of the article want to stress that mastering a
language is based on special skills that educational texts help develop. The problem set in the text must
contribute to the development of logical thinking of young people.
