Abstract
Memorising words should not be painful. And recognizing this postulate how exactly can we stimulate students to memorize professional vocabulary in English seminars at a non-language university? The foundation of this article is a practical experiment based on both individual and group work with students. The article is an outline of an open-ended lesson (or, rather, a series of open-ended seminars on one topic or one thematic section of a textbook), which is essentially a professional game built on the discovery of contents in forms and forms in contents. The author touches upon the basics of poetry, makes methodological recommendations for conducting the seminars according to the principles of drama-hermeneutics, and presents the results of the experiment.
