Abstract

Currently, the most crucial social order is to prepare specialists with a number of professional and general cultural competencies. Taking into account that reading is believed to be both a part of a basic literacy and an important component of engineering profile student competences, it is essential to plan teaching reading in the university curriculum. The paper examines the distinguishing features of teaching reading in a foreign language to non-linguistic students in the digital age. The authors present a combination of the traditional reading techniques/strategies and the new ones as an effective means of teaching reading since the digital age has changed the characteristics and the notion of reading. A comprehensive theoretical background of teaching reading is provided. Apart from reading models (bottom-up, top down), types (synthetic, analytical, independent, guided, study, communicative, extensive, intensive) and strategies (scanning, skimming; inferring, monitoring or clarifying, searching and selecting, visualizing and organizing, questioning, SQ3R/SQRRR), special attention is given to the characteristics of the professional texts for students and the types of text tasks. In addition, the authors use the basic principles of language education in the framework of digital technologies in teaching reading
