Formation of foreign language communicative competence of students through interactive technologies in agricultural higher education institutions

The ongoing globalization process and the evolving needs of Ukrainian society have significantly influenced the training of future qualified professionals in technical institutions of higher education, particularly at DSAEU. One of the tasks of the educational system today is to prepare a competent, educated person who is willing to actively perform analytical, creative, and productive work and is motivated for self-development and self-realization. The labor market currently demands highly qualified specialists with strong professional competencies, including proficiency in foreign languages. The training process for these professionals integrates contemporary standards and qualification requirements, as well as anticipates the future needs of society. This necessitates continuous knowledge updates, the implementation of effective informational, didactic, and methodological support, and the integration of modern professional and technical literature into the learning process. Furthermore, the use of innovative technologies in practical and self-directed learning enhances material retention. Modern foreign language learning methodologies in higher education institutions should align with global and European educational standards while fulfilling societal expectations. The Law of Ukraine on Higher Education (01.07.2014 No. 1556-VII) mandates foreign language proficiency to facilitate student mobility and competitiveness in the job market. The most effective application of computer-assisted language learning occurs through distance and blended learning models. Studying "English for Professional Purposes" contributes to the development of essential skills for future professionals, enabling them to communicate effectively in industry-specific situations. This proficiency ensures their competitiveness, adaptability to a dynamic world, and smoother professional integration into contemporary work environments. By interacting in the classroom, students not only improve their language skills, but also develop interpersonal and group communication skills in real-life situations, creative problem-solving skills, and prepare for future interaction with society as active citizens.
