In this paper, we analyze how oral proficiency is understood in the Danish education system in the three biggest second/third foreign languages taught in the country: French, Spanish and German. We adopt a comparative perspective and analyze how orality is addressed in these language subjects at primary school, secondary school and university levels. We compare the three languages to find similarities and differences, focusing on learning objectives, pedagogical approaches and examination forms, presented in the official curricula for each of the three educational levels. We relate the Danish stance on oral proficiency to current international research in the field and to European tendencies.

This article examines the communicative competence, its essence and component composition, which includes a number of competencies such as linguistic, strategic, discursive, sociocultural, linguistic, as well as distinguishing between the concepts of “competence” and “competence”. there is a goal in teaching a foreign language, namely to teach reading literature in a foreign language, and the most important aspects of learning a foreign language were learning grammar rules and the ability to analyze the text. Despite the significant shortcomings, this method has long dominated the domestic language didactics, partially remaining in the education system until the late 90’s of XX century.The basic definitions of terms by domestic and foreign authors, such as M. Vyatyutnev, N. Gez, N. Mykytenko, L. Bachman, and others, were determined.The model of S. Savignon and the components of the division of communicative competence of M. Kenal and M. Swain are considered, namely into grammatical, sociolinguistic, strategic. As well as three components of NI Gez and the division of communicative competence of VV Safonova. After analyzing domestic and foreign literature, we can conclude that communicative competence is a complex phenomenon in the methodology of teaching foreign languages and requires new approaches to solving the problem of its essence and variable component composition.Many scholars agree on the presence in the structure of foreign language communicative competence of such key components as language (linguistic), sociocultural, sociolinguistic, pragmatic, strategic, professional subcompetence.

The article is devoted to the opportunities of blended learning, which is used in teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties at Baikal State University. Since recently, the education system has been undergoing significant changes in terms of educational process organization. This is primarily due to global digitalization processes, as well as the forced move to blended or mixed forms of work during the pandemic. The authors of the article suggest using the term blended learning, since such terms as full-time learning, part-time learning do not reflect the whole essence of work in teaching a foreign language. The relevance of using a blended learning is determined by the taught discipline itself - a foreign language, since it is impossible to form the necessary skills and competencies only within the framework of classroom hours. A foreign language instructor has always used a mixed type of work, which has grown into a modified form today. The article analyzes some theoretical issues and provides an overview of blended learning practice. It is also describes the advantages of using this form in the educational process in general and in teaching foreign languages, in particular. In conclusion, the authors point out the necessity of using this form of work in teaching foreign languages.

Competence-based technologies used for teaching a foreign language in non-linguistic higher education institutions, put at the center of all education system student competence, providing comfortable, conflict-free conditions of its development, realization of natural and acquired potentials. The construction of a competence-based educational process presupposes the orientation of the training space on the competence sphere of students. The studied experience makes it possible to identify competencebased “platforms”, as well as the main “landmarks” for teaching a foreign language to future experts of non-linguistic specialties. Not only the general English language course, which is quite universal for all specialties, but also the professionally-oriented course, which depends on the chosen specialty in the higher education institution, acquires great importance in the training of future non-language experts. The competence orientation of teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties is to ensure proficiency in a foreign language within the framework of both everyday communication and in the specialty at a creative and professional level. Theoretical design of the formation of professional communicative competence of future non-language professionals in the process of learning a foreign language confirms the feasibility of the proposed method, allows us to theoretically justify its effectiveness.
