Formation of Future Specialists Professional Communicative Competence in the Process of the Distance Education

Abstract

The article deals with defining the role of modern technologies in training future specialists in the system of higher education. The article explores the use of information and communication technologies in the classroom and describes the means of forming professional communicative competence. Distance education is considered to be one of the most popular in the organization of educational process in modern conditions. Particular attention in the article is paid to the tools that are used during this form of education; they require comprehensive development. The training different skills and thus individual mastering of different actions algorithms are realized by educational computer programs. Further development of distance education systems involves ensuring maximum interactivity. Studying becomes complete only when the imitation of real communication with the teacher is achieved. The teacher's activity is given a significant place in distance education technologies. The task of a teacher is to promote the fullest immersion of students into the educational environment, the formation of independent cognition skills and intellectual growth, readiness to solve non-standard tasks and situations. The teacher should promote the activation of students’ cognitive activity. It is necessary to use different types of electronic communications combinations, which allow to compensate for the lack of personal contact through virtual communication. However, the use of only distance education technologies in the academic process deprives students of the opportunity to communicate live with the teacher and with each other, which does not contribute to the formation of the necessary communicative competence. One of the ways to solve this problem can be blended learning, i.e. a justified and harmonious combination of face-to-face and distance education technologies. This combination will preserve the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages of certain technologies.

Communicative Competence as a Basis for Successful Implementation of International Projects

“…The form and content of communicative competence directly depends on the social roles performed by him. Communicative competence in general terms is the ability of a person to communicate with regard to one, several or all types of language activity; acquired in the process of natural communication or specially organized training; a special property of the linguistic person (Aristova, 2017;Balanaieva, & Dzevytska, 2021).…”

“…A prominent place among the methods identified in the arsenal of pedagogical practice and aimed at the formation of communicative competence belongs today to the project method (Aristova, 2020;Balanaieva, & Dzevytska, 2021). The project is distinguished by the fact that each participant shows a real interest in the materialized product obtained during its implementation, but also in the process of its implementation, which is accompanied by the construction of a complex system of communication relations, behavioral aspects, the project activity itself, that is, through a holistic and at the same time multifaceted interaction with another person.…”
