Abstract

The problem of the generally impossibility of creating optimal conditions for the development of the competence of oral foreign language communication in the teaching of foreign languages (FL), (non-linguistic, IT sphere) (Information technology), is addressed by the use of active and interactive teaching methods and technologies. Since there aren't many hours in a classroom devoted to language studies at universities in non-linguistic fields, the Teaching Approach serves as the methodological foundation for the creation of these technologies, which explains the significance of this study. The process of teaching FL in a university of non-linguistic fields—primarily the IT sector—is the focus of the study. The technology under investigation was created based on an instructional methodology for teaching oral foreign language communication at non-linguistic universities. The study's objectives are to ascertain the fundamentals of communicative training technology in teaching foreign languages (FL) and to pinpoint elements that may serve as a foundation for creating a system of training exercises for instructing students in non-linguistic fields in communication in FL. After reaching this objective, the following outcomes were attained: 1) The primary techniques for developing communicative competence in foreign languages at the university of non-linguistic fields have been identified; 2) The level of understanding of the issue surrounding the use of training technology to advance the university's proficiency in foreign languages has been established; 3) examined the characteristics of communication training technology from the perspectives of psychology, pedagogy, and foreign language teaching techniques, and ascertained its potential for educational purposes; 4) Created and evaluated a series of exercises to help students from non-linguistic backgrounds practice communication in English classes.
