SUMMARY
This study propounds a conceptual framework of advancing reading comprehension competence (RCC) among University students majoring in bilingual pedagogy. The study arises out of a need to introduce learners to reasonable approaches to acquiring reading skills and provide them with a relevant practical guidance. The proposed methodology is multifaceted, since it is aimed at solving multiple tasks: helping students adequately understand and interpret English and American literature, obtaining knowledge of other cultures and patterns of life, feeling confident in an English-speaking environment when exposed to real-life communication, and respectively, acquiring proficiency necessary for future occupation. Specifically, the paper generalizes methods and techniques of improving RCC, presents basicreading comprehension (RC) models and strategies, and suggests a system of appropriate activities.
The elaborated methodology of enhancing RCC is grounded on the underlying principles and model of the communicative and cognitive approach (O. Vovk). This approach is targeted at promoting students basic communication skills and cogitative faculties.
