At present, due to significant attention of the employers in the IT sphere to key competencies of University graduates the system of professional communicative competence formation is required. This paper presents an overall design and implementation scheme of the course “Translation in the Field of Professional Communication” as an integral part of the cycle of disciplines in the area of “Infocommunication Technologies and Communication Systems”. The foreign language intersubject status is strengthened by the developed course. The paper focuses on basic components of this course providing integrity of educational process. Based on theoretical and practical approaches: study of psychological and pedagogical literature; analysis and synthesis of theoretical generalization of research results, comparison and interpretation of new facts and specific manifestations of the research subject, abstracting, questioning, testing, observation, pedagogic experiment and statistical data processing methods the efficiency of a proposed experimental training system was confirmed. Its positive influence on the level of acquisition of knowledge in the English language discipline and, correspondingly, on formation of the professional communicative competence of a software engineer and on development of positive motivation for professional activity was analysed. Besides, the development of positive motivation for the self-development of the personality and for the growth of interest in communication was described.
