The purpose of the study is to assess students` level of communicative competencies when learning a foreign language on the basis of which to substantiate the effectiveness of listening and speaking activities in the development of students' communicative competencies when learning a foreign language. The survey was based on teachers and students of Far Eastern Federal University (Russia) were surveyed; there were thirty-five university teachers and 240 first- and second-year students aged 18-20 took. The results of the study showed that students have difficulty in speaking, which necessitates the introduction of effective listening and speaking practices into the curriculum. The results also were based on the fact that teachers confirmed poor communicative skills of students and outlined various speaking activities in the study of a foreign language, which can contribute to the development of students' communicative competencies. The experimental stage of the study focused on the implementation of the pedagogical model showed that in the experimental group there was a rapid decrease in the number of students with the low level of competencies (from 25.25% to 11.62%) and an increase in the number of students with the high (up to 36.87%) and average (up to 51.52%) levels of competencies. Practical significance of the study is explained by the ability to use the developed tests to determine the level of students' communication skills, and the developed program can be used to develop and improve listening and speaking skills. The prospects for further research can be based on the opportunity to define the role of psychological and pedagogical disciplines in the formation of students' communicative competencies, develop scientific and methodological support for the formation of communicative competencies in the course of studying special disciplines.

“…The educational process in the information and educational environment not only affects the quality of education, but also contributes to the involvement of the teacher in promoting the development of a highly professional personality of a philologist student, which is confirmed by the increased level of attention to this topic of scientists, whose research presents certain aspects of the modern educational environment, as well as the problems of professional competence formation in the context of global digitalization of society [12][13][14].…”

Currently, the practical level of foreign language proficiency of philology graduates does not always correspond to the social order of society. In this paper, a model for professional foreign language training of philology stu-dents was developed, theoretically justified and experimentally tested. For this purpose, the Moodle tool was widely deployed and we identified and ex-perimentally tested pedagogical conditions that ensure the effectiveness of professional foreign language training for philology students. The experi-mental work involved a random sample of 305 students of the "bachelor" level of the training direction 5B021000 (6B023)–foreign philology. The re-sult of the qualitative and quantitative analysis allows to conclude the effec-tiveness of the proposed model of professional foreign language training of philology students based on Moodle, which is confirmed by the calculations during the statistical processing of the research results. The scientific novel-ty of the study is that the pedagogical conditions that ensure the effective-ness of the Moodle-based professional foreign language training of philology students were identified and experimentally tested. The results of the study showed the effectiveness of using distance learning in the current health context due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Skill obtained by going through lots of exercises at university that involved communication such as group work, lab work, and presentations before undergoing industrial training has minimised conflict occurrences to understand their roles. It is important to develop soft skills through the courses at university because it positively impacts cooperation at work and personal relationships [16]. Thus, this helps them expedite the job and perform well during the industrial training session [28].…”

The psychomotor and affective are important domains in Programme Out-comes (PO) and are used to assess the achievement of learning objectives. The psychomotor domain refers to performing motor activities accurately, smoothly, and quickly. The affective components are those personality and behavioural characteristics which focuses on feelings, emotions, and attitudes. Through industrial training, students are exposed to engineering practices, the real civil engineering environments and the ethical and communication skill required. This paper identified the employer's perspective on the students’ attainment for psychomotor and affective domains while undergoing industrial training. There were 272 students are involved in this study that undergoing the Industrial Training in session II 2019/2020. The portion of marks from the industry evaluation for the psychomotor domain is 40% and for the af-fective domain is 10%. The marks were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis to measure student’s performance. The Pearson correlation (r) was used to identify the relationship between each POs with related domain and the t-test analysis was completed to evaluate any significant difference be-tween the performance evaluation of male and female students. The result shows that most of the students were excellent in the psychomotor and affective domain. The r-value for each POs shows a moderately positive correlation. Therefore, the outcomes of this study can provide input to the faculty to improve the important elements of the psychomotor and affective domain to produce good quality of future civil engineering technical personnel.
