DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATIVE ABILITIES IN STUDENTS BY MEANS OF CASE TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

The article examines the essence of the concepts “communicative competence” and “communicative abilities”. Features of the use of case technologies in teaching students and the possibilities of this technology in teaching foreign languages have been identified. It is concluded that the use of case technologies contributes to the development of communicative abilities in students. The cases reproduce real life situations, motivating students to use the language as in real situations that require communication in English. The shared decision process naturally involves them in negotiation, persuasion, and expression of their needs and ideas. By stimulating natural language situations, games make it possible to hide the real purpose of the exercise, so that students forget that they are currently in a lesson and learning to use a foreign language.
