Abstract
The aim of the paper is to study the problem of future aircraft maintenance engineers’ training for improving professional communication. Higher aviation educational institutions ensure that graduates master communication skills and acquire communication competencies that allow them to solve typical tasks of their work. Due to internalization and globalization of aviation sphere, communication in the international airports is carried out in English. However, the level of English proficiency of future aircraft maintenance engineers is not sufficient to communicate effectively while performing professional tasks. To solve the problem the pedagogical conditions of future aircraft maintenance engineers’ training for improving professional communication are suggested (enhancing motivation to communicate through active interaction and creating situations of success in the classroom; modeling professional communicative situations to ensure the practical orientation of training; use of technological innovations for self-analysis and self-education). The defined pedagogical conditions are implemented through specially chosen methods: interactive (ice-breaking, warming up activities, training exercises, etc.), case study, role playing, ICT (based on Learning Management Systems MOODLE).

– modeling professional communicative situations to ensure the practical orientation of training;
The first pedagogical condition – enhancing motivation to communicate through active interaction and creating situations of success in the classroom – emphasizes the role of motivation for forming communicative competence
Summary
Aviation in Ukraine has been actively developing: new airlines are constantly appearing, and their fleet is expanding. L. Yakubovska (Yakubovska, 2002) experimentally proves that applying educational role-playing games of professional orientation in the process of learning a foreign language helps to solve a range of important tasks effectively: intensification of the learning process, giving it a creative character; acquisition of communication experience in foreign language in the context of the future profession; development cognitive and professional motives; formation of a holistic view of future professional activity, its specifics and functions; improvement of communicative skills and abilities of social interaction, individual and collective decision-making; increasing the academic performance. Modeling professional and communicative situations in future aircraft maintenance engineers’ training will ensure the practical orientation of the subject, improve the process of acquiring professional communication skills, and increase motivation to communicate How would you behave being an aircraft engineer? modeling professional and communicative situations in future aircraft maintenance engineers’ training will ensure the practical orientation of the subject, improve the process of acquiring professional communication skills, and increase motivation to communicate
