The authors emphasize the importance of the student's independent work in the study of a foreign language and point to the success of using of the flipped learning technology in a technical university, taking into account the psychological characteristics of engineering students. Students of a technical university represent themselves as those who successfully cope with mastering a part of the educational material individually prior to class. In general, they are able to work independently, have a tendency to introspection, make productive decisions, are responsible and strive to achieve a positive result, since the motivational factors for professional self-determination of engineering students are high motivation in achieving success, low readiness for social interaction and internal personal disposition.
