Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of a foreign language (English) by 1st‑2nd year students of non-linguistic specialties within the framework of extracurricular work. As extracurricular work, we consider holding language club classes, which are conducted according to the developed methodological plan, reflecting the needs of students, helping them to fill in the gaps in the topics studied, as well as to get acquainted with new ones. Since the language club is designed for students of different directions and specialties of the university, topics related to the course «English for general purposes» are studied in more detail: family, geography, traditions, food, culture, etc. In this article, the study of a foreign language is considered as a creative process, as a control event it is proposed to complete a project dedicated to one of the topics discussed.
