Abstract

From the first year of the study at a higher school a student finds himself in principally different conditions. The need to increase the level of subjectivity in an educational activity puts the student in a situation of his free choice and defense of his position in a dialogue. In author’s opinion, to be aware and accept the significance of a social and personal competence in a personal and professional development for a future economist it’s necessary to use methods which encourage him to the self-awareness and stimulate a desire to understand reasons of views’ discrepancy. Socio-communicative competence is an important component in the life of every individual and is understood as the implementation of multi-faceted opportunities discovering in the interaction of different skills, abilities, motivations and attitudes. The basis for its development is the social perception of reality. The students’ solidarity towards their partners is developing exactly due to interaction.
