Abstract

The relevance of the article is that the skill of communication in a foreign (English) language is becoming more and more up-to-date in demand in the labour market among graduates of technical specialties. However, it is worth considering that students of this educational direction have a different foreign language proficiency level due to the lack of motivation to study it. As a result, it causes difficulties in learning. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the efficiency of the created training program for English-speaking communicative competence of students of technical specialties.

The author has formulated the main reasons for the poor preparation of students in a foreign language (English) of this orientation which should be taken into account when creating a training plan. A program for the development of English-speaking communicative competence is proposed, which improves foreign (English) language communication skills. It is proved that after the implementation of the training program during one academic year the level of English language proficiency of students of technical specialties was improved. The article is intended for teachers of a foreign (English) language teaching technical students at higher educational institutions.
