At the initial and final stages of the verification of the effectiveness of the implementation of the devel- oped technique, specially designed diagnostic methods and questionnaires aimed at identifying value orientations and motives of studying the basics of academic writing, the initial and acquired levels of language knowledge (English) at the postgraduate level in the process of studying the discipline were applied. The evaluation of the results took place according to the following criteria: value orientations and motives, knowledge of academic vocabulary and grammati- cal accuracy; and indicators: motives, vocabulary, lexical knowledge, grammatical awareness, academic writing skills.
