Due to the decrease in the academical hours for studying English, independent work is a very important element of the students' learning process. The purpose of this publication is to determine the main types of students’ independent work of non-linguistic specialties. It is established that there are four main types of independent work of students: tasks on the pattern, constructive and variable tasks, heuristic tasks and independent work with elements of scientific research. Each of these types of independent work is necessary and depends on the purpose of the training.
Independent work on the pattern is to perform a variety of exercises and contribute to the learning of new educational material, but do not develop creative activity. It is useful to do a few exercises under the supervision of the teacher, while other exercises to drill grammatical and lexical skills are performed by students independently. After their completion, the teacher checks the work and analyzes the mistakes. As a rule, such textbooks as "Round Up", "Grammar Way", "English Vocabulary in Use" are suggested for independent work.
Constructive and variable independent work contributes to the development of the students' ability to analyze, compare facts and phenomena and create further conditions for the development of creative independent work. The main difficulty of performing such tasks is to apply knowledge in new situations. Such a type of independent work is usually performed in class after working with the text and performing the basic tasks to memorize lexical and grammar units.
Heuristic work teaches to formulate a task and develop a plan for its solution. Independent work of heuristic type can be divided into the following subgroups: tasks of the cognitive type; creative tasks; organizational activity type.
Independent work with elements of research is considered to be the most difficult type. Independent work of this type includes reports in English on the topic of the course during the classroom, writing a scientific article, presenting a speech at the conference, etc.
