Abstract

The main goal of learning a foreign language is the ability to communicate, understand information and transfer it. At the time of globalization processes, when the English language has acquired the status of the language of international communication, more and more attention is paid to its learning, regardless of the study profile. Undoubtedly, the development of all the types of speech activity requires a lot of attention, but the ability to communicate in a foreign language has become especially relevant today. Identifying strategies that help develop students' communication skills has become the main task of the teachers at higher educational institutions. The implementation of the communication-based approach in the process of foreign language teaching is based on the following principles: personal orientation of the teaching process; the authenticity of the educational materials; focus on the formation of communicative skills which are relevant for understanding foreign culture and others. Тoday, the priority tasks for the teacher are the study of the main strategies of teaching a foreign language for the development of students' speaking competences. Special attention is also paid to the interactive learning methods, including involving students in multimedia projects, creating problem situations, and working in groups to create a communicative situation. The requirements of the modern society, where globalization processes are becoming more and more active, make the teachers give a new approach to the study of the English language. Higher education should be communicatively oriented and provide the opportunity for the students to communicate in a foreign language fluently in everyday life and in the professional activities. Thus, the development of communicative foreign language skill of the students is a priority task of the modern education, which is caused by the demand of the time. Speech activity teaching is a prerequisite for mastering a foreign language that meets the requirements of the modern world. Among the further issues that need the careful research is the teaching of dialogic speaking skills, since communication often takes place in the form of a dialogue.
