Summary

Introduction

A professional foreign language is a necessity that is dictated by political and socio-economic processes, strengthening economic ties between countries, education or training abroad. The expansion of foreign economic cooperation contributes to improving the quality of foreign language proficiency by specialists in various industries. Integration processes allow students of educational institutions to study and participate in economic, medical, technological and other global processes. “intercultural communicative competence” in teaching professional foreign languages is becoming widespread (Shulga, 2017; Yang, Xiang & Chun, 2018). The level of students’ mobility is growing due to the needs of the labor market in professional specialists (Pérez-Llantada, 2018). Principles of “flexibility, mobility, fluidity and self-development” (Arrosagaray, González-Peiteado, Pino-Juste & Rodríguez-López, 2019) are increasingly integrated into the teaching professional foreign languages
