The purpose of the article is to determine the structure of communicative competence of future foreign language teachers. In the process of research, a number of methods was used, among which: analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, comparison, monographic method, abstraction. The article substantiates the need to structure the communicative competence of future teachers of foreign languages, highlights the main factors: 1) competence as a scientific and pedagogical category; 2) competence in general and communicative competence in particular are evaluative categories; 3) foreign language communicative competence requires comparative analysis within its structure. The peculiarities of the classifications of competencies offered by different scientists in relation to different areas of training are considered. The analysis of scientific sources on the problem of structuring the communicative competence of future specialists is carried out. The structure of communicative competence of future foreign language teachers is presented in the set of the following components: purposeful, which reflects the level of students’ interest in further growth of their level of communicative competence, on the one hand, and motivated mastery of modern information and communication technologies; cognitive-linguistic component, which is represented by a set of systematic knowledge of a foreign language and methods of its teaching, as well as a course in psychology and pedagogy of higher education; procedural and technological, which allows, on the one hand, development of communicative skills in the field of foreign language communication and teaching foreign languages, on the other – skills and abilities to use modern ICT in the process of learning (and further teaching) foreign languages; reflexive-evaluative, which involves the ability to assess the level of formation of communicative competence of future teachers of foreign languages with the use of modern information and communication technologies, and to implement their own reflection of these processes. The identified and described components of communicative competence are correlated with the list of professional competencies of the specified specialist. We see the prospects for further research in the development and implementation in the practice of higher education institutions of the model of formation of communicative competence of future teachers of foreign languages.

The article is dedicated to the problem of foreign language teachers' diagnostic competence development. It reveals the problematic issues connected with the obtaining integral estimates of students' foreign language communicative competence formation levels. The study presents a technology of integrated assessment based on the recent mathematical and statistical methods realized with the help of information and communication technologies. The first experiment proves the technology contributes to the accuracy and reliability of integral estimates by 9,1%. The second one assures that training teachers to use the technology improves their levels of diagnostic competence by 21,9% in average.

The article aims to review existing literature on the pedagogical benefits as well as considerations regarding the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into second and foreign language teaching. Greater collaboration and interaction, enhanced motivation and access to a huge repository of web-based materials are among the most popular advantages of ICTs. At the same time, ICT-integration into language teaching can be challenging due to the emergence of “multiliteracies” and the not-so-ICT-competent students in the language classroom. Besides, there are language teachers who fear that their professional identity could be disrupted as they try to adopt new technologies in their teaching. However, the review also points out that technologies do not automatically result in any remarkable pedagogical benefits without teachers’ selective use. It is the teachers who enlarge the potentials of ICTs in promoting meaningful interactions and real intercultural reflections beyond the conventional language classrooms.

The use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) as a business tool has increased rapidly for the past 10 years (Bonsón, Coffin, & Watson, 2000; Claessens, Glaessner, & Klingebiel, 2000; Vasarhelyi & Greenstein, 2003). More specifically, financial software, e-banking, and the Internet, as core aspects of the various technologies used, have become driving forces behind the expansion of firms and the development of cash management. New technologies are considered as one of the most attractive ways for businesses to increase revenue and achieve economies of scale that can reduce unit costs (Ballantine & Stray, 1998; Barajas & Villanueva, 2001; Daniel, 1999; Daniel & Storey, 1997; Deyoung, 2001; Downes & Muy, 1998; Faulder, 2001; Jayawardhena & Foley, 2000). There are different studies about the use of ICT in the management of the enterprise that explain the obtaining of enterprise performance. Brynjolfsson and Hitt (2000) and Nájera (2005) have done a review of these works and a classification of these types of researches. Unfortunately, there are not specific works or empirical researches about the use of e-banking in cash management; consequently, this work is focused in this. The rest of the chapter is structured as follows. The theoretical foundation on which the study is based is explained in Section 2. Section 3 presents the data and the analysis procedure used to conduct the empirical study. The main results of the investigation are shown in Section 4, and Section 5 presents conclusions. The chapter ends with a list of bibliographical references.

Content of teaching foreign languages undergoes inevitable changes in connection with introduction of information and communication technologies. Education as an integral part of life of society has to match the criteria providing high-quality teaching process, at the same time the project method allows to execute the social order of society in more practice oriented approach to teaching. The place of grammar studying in the course of teaching foreign languages was not al-ways unambiguous: there were cases when it was under or overestimated in educational process. However, it is worth mentioning that without well formed grammatical skills of foreign language communication any of the most modern information and communication technologies are not capable to yield qualitative result. We consider a problem of adequate use of Internet projects for university students’ grammatical skills formation as well as an issue of the corresponding content of teaching grammar. Teaching foreign language to students of both linguistic university and other higher educational institutes is directed to formation of all components of foreign language com-municative competence. Project activity, as well as based on it educational Internet projects allow to bring this process of teaching to higher qualitative level. We carry out and develop: a) the analysis of the scientific works devoted to the concept “grammar” and its role in the history; b) the analysis of the researches devoted to selection of subject contents for grammatical skills formation of the students’ speech; c) the author’s subject contents of teaching grammar students of linguistic universities on the basis of implementation of foreign language Internet projects.

In this paper, the authors present a scale elaborated in order to find out towards training and continuum improvement in NICT (new information and communication technologies) of education professionals, since this attitude is negative to them. This may be En este artículo se presenta una escala elaborada con el fin de conocer las actitudes sobre la formación y perfeccionamiento en las nuevas tecnologías de la información (NTIC) de los profesionales de la educación ya que muchos no han desarrollado aún una actitud favorable hacia ellas. Ésta puede ser una de las razones por las que no las utilicen en el aula, lo que conlleva una falta de aprovechamiento de los beneficios que pueden aportar tanto a su trabajo como al aprendizaje de sus alumnos. Para ello, después se teoriza sobre las actitudes y la formación y perfeccionamiento en NTIC, finalizando con la construcción de una Escala Likert.
