Results of the research. Implementation of the communicative teaching method is an important component of a modern foreign language program for students of technical specialties. The goal of learning a foreign language is not only the professional training of four interrelated types of language activities (reading, writing, listening and speaking), but also the development of the ability to use a foreign language to express one’s thoughts.
During training, the formation of English communicative competence of students of technical specialties is to use innovative tools in the learning process, using which students can independently solve communicative tasks with the help of a foreign language, for example, modeling professional communication situations or looking for solutions by reading scientific literature. To achieve this, innovative teaching tools are used and incentives are created for the formation of English communicative competence of students of technical specialties.
