METHODOLOGICAL POSSIBILITIES FOR TEACHING THE SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD TO STUDENTS OF LANGUAGE FACULTIES AT THE INITIAL LEVEL OF LEARNING SPANISH

The article is concerned with reviewing and discussing the order and stages of teaching an extremely important grammatical topic of the Subjunctive mood in Spanish at the initial level of learning this language. The authors make a brief overview of Russian and foreign textbooks and the order in which they present material on the Present tense of the Subjunctive mood. After that they provide their own order of introducing this topic during Spanish language learning. The necessity of introducing the mentioned topic into the course of study at the earliest possible stage is argued from the grammatical and communicative point of view, and he widespread practice, typical for higher education as well, of teaching the topic of the subjunctive mood at the very end of the Spanish language course, after studying all existing forms of the indicative mood and imperative mood, is criticized. Also the authors formulate suggestions regarding the communicative topics within which it is most practical to introduce one or another type of subordinate clause requiring the subjunctive mood. The guidelines are thought primarily for teaching Spanish language to University students, but they can also be used in language schools in groups of three or more.
