Abstract

The article deals with a modern crucial problem of the formation and development of leadership skills of the students, majoring “State and municipal management”, during foreign language classes. While investigating different lists of leadership skills from Russian and foreign scientific papers as well as after conducting a survey of the students, the author of the article distributes the main identified leadership skills into basic categories and proves that the special approach is needed for each category. The study also provides a definition of explicit and implicit methods and techniques for developing leadership skills, and also accentuates the difference between them. For each category of leadership skills, the article indicates the corresponding explicit and/or implicit tasks and exercises. The author describes in detail how to effectively apply these tasks in the process of teaching foreign languages and provides methodological recommendations for teachers on the development of certain leadership qualities among students majoring “State and municipal management”.
