Abstract

Abstract. The issue of developing students' communicative competence in the study of English is highlighted by the requirements for professional training outcomes in higher education institutions and current societal demands. It is summarised that communicative competence is developed through direct interaction and becomes the result of communication experience for individuals. Communicative competence is viewed as the ability to understand and produce English at the phonological, lexico-grammatical, and cultural knowledge and language skills level and in accordance with the goals and specifics of professional communication situations. Purposeful work towards developing students' communicative competence during the study of English for professional purposes is understood as a holistic process of structuring the educational process based on the alignment of its key components: goal-setting (reflecting the aim of the study and the requirement for the simultaneous participation of all students in completing specific tasks); content (based on the selection of specialised learning tasks); technological (defining the conditions, methods, and tools for the development of communicative competence); and evaluative-resultative (designing tools to determine the effectiveness of the proposed changes and their impact on the state of communicative competence among higher education students).
