Annotation: The article deals with the investigation of some questions
concerning the process of teaching English as the second foreign language based on
the first language - the German language. The process under study is rather
complicated. It requires taking into consideration the linguistic experience of students.
In addition, this process should be based on the results of the comparative-contrastive
analysis of the contacting languages: English, German and Russian (the Mother
Tongue of the students). This phenomenon may be called an educational forming
multilinguism of which interference and transference are characteristic features. In
order to overcome the latter and to improve the educational process, comparative study
of language phenomena is necessary.
