In the context of the rapid development of modern information technologies, the European context of higher education sets a demand for qualitative changes in the training of competitive specialists, aimed at the requests of employers. The objective of the article is to analyse theoretical and methodological approaches to the development of academic literacy skills in students, which is the key to education quality, competitiveness in the professional environment and the field of international scientific communications. It has been determined that in modern conditions, with the increase of the use of digital communication technologies in the educational process and their availability, the blended learning model acquires large-scale significance and can stipulate the integration of educational activities and the introduction of digital communications for the development of communication competence in applicants. The basis of academic literacy is comprised of the following skills: operation of diverse languages, understanding of differences between these languages, and comprehension of the languages. Feedback allows students to realize and adjust their activity in accordance with the optimal activity strategy in an artificially created environment. Based on the communicative interaction, students and teachers discuss creative projects, use digital tools and web services to design multimedia electronic educational resources of Moodle system (an educational university portal). In order to improve professional training effectiveness of applicants and the quality of the higher education system, the educational environment should create a new academic community with academic literacy, academic integrity, and, in quarantine conditions, pay great attention to effective online communication. To do this, higher education institutions need to create a system of comprehensive development of academic literacy, academic integrity at all stages of education. That requires activation of discussion on these issues in foreign publications with an impact factor, professional periodicals, at scientific conferences, forums, seminars, webinars and trainings.

The acquisition of competencies (knowledge and skills) necessary for a modern professional is impossible according to known models in the context of the formation of a new humanistic paradigm of higher education. The purpose of the study is to highlight the problems of introducing academic writing as an element of academic integrity and as a basic component of academic culture in a modern university, as well as to propose a model for the development of linguistic and extra-linguistic competences while working on the writing of scientific texts in English on the basis of the textbook “Introduction to academic writing” as a way of solving the above-mentioned problems. The article contains an analysis of the scientific fund for updating the methods and forms of organizing the educational process, which involves the acquisition of certain linguistic and extra-linguistic competences by the applicants for higher education. The prerequisites and possibilities for the development of such competences derive from the orientation of education towards the full development of the personality of the future specialist and the support of the principles of academic integrity, paying attention to the mastery of high-quality academic writing skills. It has been established in the study that academic writing is an element of academic culture and is a system in which language is a means of forming a multidimensional set of skills, including both linguistic (syntax, stylistic, etc.) and extralinguistic competences such as logic, objectivity, analysis and synthesis, respect for the ideas and texts of others. The study also identified the essence of the need to observe ethical standards in the institution of higher education and to learn how to formulate and prove one’s own hypotheses and conclusions, to structure the academic text according to the norms of the English language. The essence of the concepts of academic integrity, and academic writing as well as the concepts of linguistic and extra-linguistic competences is also defined. The study provided is supplemented by a structured teaching manual which was developed taking into account the experience of authors of foreign linguistic literature, where among the skills and abilities required by the English-speaking academic environment, the competence to effectively use the various methods of writing essays, describing graphic information, writing scientific article and thesis is indicated. It is noted in the article that the mentioned skills and abilities are within the most challenging area for applicants and require an approach to learning in which written competence is a key one and the overall learning process is based on the active use of written speech.
