The article discusses the principles of selection of lexical units in teaching a foreign language in a technical higher education institution. The author analyses the matter described in the works of such scientists as Igor' Rakhmanov, Lev Shcherba, Natal'ya Gal'skova, Nadezhda Gez etc. Based on the analysis of the literature the author describes the basic principles of selection of lexical units. The principle of frequency, the thematic principle, the principles of semantic and word-formative value are chosen as efficient ones for the formation and expansion of vocabulary in the process of learning a foreign language in the first year at a technical higher education institution. According to the principles identified by the author the vocabulary was formed for first-year students of engineering specialties. On the basis of these principles a system of exercises for the formation and expansion of vocabulary for reading texts in the specialty will be developed in the future.
