In order to implement English for specific purposes within the framework of differentiated instruction to the future specialists in the information technology sphere, the exercises system of teaching monologue speech is proposed. The definition of the concept exercises system for the differentiated instruction of monologue speech» is outlined. The functional types of monologues for the future IT specialists are defined: monologue-description, monologue-message, monologue-persuasion. The approaches of teaching monologue («top down» and «bottom up») are determined. The dominant one is «bottom up». The stages of teaching monologue of English for specific purposes are analyzed. The exercises system for differentiated instruction of English for specific purposes of monological speech to the future IT-specialists is presented. Within the exercises system, a subsystem of exercises and corresponding groups are outlined. There are two subsystems: a subsystem of exercises for the formation of monological speech sub-skills (phonetic, lexical, grammatical, using linking devices) and a subsystem of exercises for the development of monological speech skills (for mastering monological units, minimonologues, various functional types of monologue). Various levels of difficulty and learning styles are reflected in the exercises. Examples of exercises for students with different learning styles and different levels of proficiency in a foreign language are considered.

Key words:  differentiated instruction;  English for Specific Purposes;  exercises system;  future IT specialists;  learning style;  level of foreign language proficiency;  monologue.
