MODERN TRENDS IN DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS

The article deals with the issue of developing students communicative competence. The concept of communicative competence as one of the significant features of quality education is considered. Its formation in university students takes place through and thanks to their foreign language speech activity, and the learning process is considered a communicative process of including students in interaction with the world. The development of speaking, listening, reading and writing skills is carried out through the implementation of these types of speech activities in the learning process in conditions that simulate real-life communication situations. In contrast to the traditional approach – learning from textbooks – the Dogme method is considered and its advantages in foreign language teaching are described. According to this approach, the language learning material is based on students' language needs and interests, not on information prepared by the teacher. Grammar and vocabulary exercises arise naturally during the lesson and are not the main object of learning. That is, the focus of the lesson is not on the English textbook, but on the student. So, students can remember and learn a language if it is related to them personally. The impact of using modern technologies in the classroom on improving learning outcomes is also analyzed.
