Educational potential of educational debates is revealed and efficiency of their use turns out to be in the forming of key competencies in senior students in the process of social science studies. The "Debate" method is one of the most effective techniques to achieve successful speech interaction between communicants. This technique allows you to integrate and involve a large number of students in the process of speech interaction at the same time, and also with the help of it, you can consider and discuss current modern problems that students will be interested in. By integrating various kinds of debates in foreign language lessons, the teacher thereby contributes to the awakening of children's interest in the study of the subject. First of all, the "debate" technique forms all four basic language communication skills in students – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. In accordance with the normative documents, these skills must be developed by a foreign language teacher. In addition to the development of language skills directly, the "debate" technique forms the skills of public speaking. It has been proven that one of the main reasons for the fear of schoolchildren speaking a foreign language in public is their lack of communication skills and experience in public speaking their native language. Debate teaches such speech tactics which will allow students to communicate more effectively in the future, speak at international seminars and conferences, participate in discussions with foreigners, defend their own opinions aloud, and speak a foreign language publicly. In the senior classes, "debates" can be used to generalize, systematize and consolidate educational material, and also act as control speaking. However, it must be born in mind that not every topic can be a subject of discussion, it must be correctly formulated, as a rule, by a teacher. Some researchers believe that the purpose of their application in the educational process is to develop students' skills and abilities of civilized reasoned discussion, which is based on a thorough study of educational information. The debate is based on research, thinking, systematization and defense - skills that are the basis for public advocacy. Such learning activities help students improve their persuasion skills and learn the responsibilities associated with that skill. After all, the very concept of debate is based on the belief of the audience and the ability to quickly and thoroughly respond to arguments. The introduction of debate as a technology in education will increase the productivity of the learning process, will allow the direction of modern humanities education to acquire knowledge, develop skills, achieve its own goals and objectives.
