Positive influence of information and communication technologies development on education is noted in many studies and in a number of official documents. Project activity meets the needs of society for the pragmatic use of educational resources in order to intensify education. Implementation of foreign-language Internet projects allows to form students’ grammatical skills of the speech. However, this result can be achieved when accounting a number of psychological and pedagogical conditions. We raise an issue on identification and justification of psychological and pedagogical conditions which have to be considered when developing a methodical system and technology of formation of students’ grammatical skills of the speech during implementation of foreign-language Internet projects. We designate the relevance of the problem and substantiate the accounting of following psychology and pedagogical conditions: a) balance of a theoretical component and practical importance; b) motivation of students when forming grammatical skills; c) foreign language skills at the level of Intermediate-Upper-Intermediate; d) developed information and communication competence of students; e) developed information and communication competence of teacher; f) existence of teaching technology. We substantiate and describe in detail each of the allocated conditions.

Its structural components (theoretical-methodological, purposeful, meaningful, procedural-technological, resultant-evaluative units) are described. The description of the modular technology of foreign language training of technical university students is given. Information and communication technologies are considered as a means of information and methodological support and diagnostic tools for monitoring foreign language training.

The article presents the results of a study of the language training of specialists in the field of Customs affairs in Russia and several of foreign countries. The described international experience in the language training of customs affairs specialists in Australia, vietnam, Germany, China, Moldova, the United States of America allows to indicate its specificity, namely, a bias towards the development of bilingual competence, since a multicultural customs space requires a specialist to have the ability to conduct a dialogue, to know the cultural realities of a native and foreign language, to be able to realize this knowledge in direct communication with international partners.Russian experience of the language training of customs specialists is characterized, on the one hand, by the lack of regionalization and filling in the content of a foreign language on the basis of interdisciplinary integration with the content of the professional cycle disciplines, and on the other, by the widespread use of active teaching methods, information and communication technologies in teaching a foreign language, which positively affects the formation of readiness for professional intercultural communication.The authors conclude that a deeper study of the international experience of language training on the basis of comparative analysis is necessary in order to improve Russian training of a qualified customs specialist who is able to conduct effective professional activities in a foreign language environment.
