Abstract
This paper examines the role and importance of specialist and scientific texts in LSP teaching at tertiary level. Successful realization of teaching goals depends primarily on the selection of appropriate texts and their efficient use. This paper therefore starts from an analysis of the essential features of such texts by highlighting their complex multifunctional aspects. This is a necessary prerequisite for a clear and accurate perception of their role and importance in developing students' foreign language competence in their professions, mainly in English. It is also a necessary prerequisite for appropriate text selection and use. The topic is explored from a contemporary perspective on the nature and function of text, as well as researches into scholarly or specialist texts, and also practical teaching experience.This paper is conceived as a theoretical contribution to modern LSP teaching methodology at tertiary level.
