Abstract. This article substantiates the necessity of focusing on practical results and independent acquisition of knowledge in the process of teaching a theoretical discipline «Modern German: phonetics, morphology, word formation, syntax» by students of the second year of study (teacher education with two training profiles) who study German as a second foreign language. In addition, the paper also describes the basics of problem-based learning as one of the most effective educational strategies. The article proposes a scheme for the implementation of problem-based learning from the choice of a problem situation through the development of a hypothesis to checking the correctness of the solution to the problem. Particular attention is focused on the use of problem-based learning methods in lectures and seminars. The author suggests four types of problem situations and focuses on the fact that these problem situations can be applied at any stage of learning from explaining material to controlling knowledge. The article discusses in detail some of the educational tasks used by author of the article in lectures and seminars on the discipline «Modern German: phonetics, morphology, word formation, syntax» for each type of the proposed problem situations. In conclusion, the researcher highlights the advantages of the considered educational strategy which are the development of mental abilities, cognitive needs and social skills of students, and also concludes that problem-based learning methods meet the needs of modern education aimed at developing soft skills.
