Abstract. The research aims to identify the hypertextual characteristics of an authentic training package in English that contribute to information transmission and perception. The research is novel in that it is the first to present and analyse an authentic training package in English as a hypertext that exists not only in print (course book, teacher’s pack, self-study pack), but also online (e-portfolio). In addition, the paper identifies its hypertextual characteristics. The author examines the system of transitions between linearly organised creolised texts (hypotexts) in the nonlinear structure of the textbook. A wide system of transitions, represented by the table of contents, the wording of an educational task, creolisation elements, contributes not only to the logical movement from one section to another, but also allows students to choose their trajectory of movement, thereby activating cognitive processes. An authentic training package in English is considered as a creolised (semiotically complicated) text, where a verbal sign and a nonverbal sign, synthesised, form a hypertextual space. The definition of a textbook as a hypertext is also given. The research findings showed that an English textbook is a semiotically complex non-linearly organised structure – hypertext, which possesses a number of characteristics, such as: nonlinearity, hypertextuality, closeness, polycode nature, multimediality and interactivity.
Key words and phrases: англоязычный методический дискурс, учебник английского языка, семиотически осложненный (креолизованный) текст, гипертекст, English-language methodological discourse, English textbook, semiotically complicated (creolised) text, hypertext
