We substantiate the need for the use of interactive educational technologies in teaching a foreign language at a university. It was analyzed that the use of web quest technology, “flipped classroom” and “development of critical thinking” technologies in a foreign language class helps to achieve a high level of development of foreign language communicative and information and communication competencies, better memorization of the material studied, development of cognitive activity and logical thinking, and also increases the level of motivation to learn English. These technologies involve conducting non-traditional lectures and practical exercises, the purpose of which is to synthesize disparate knowledge from different branches of scientific thought, highlight the main and most important information, be able to lead a discussion, express one’s point of view. The main interactive teaching methods have been identified, which involve turning to the logical methods of teaching, reflecting the logical operations of thinking, analysis, ..., generalization, which corresponds to the current Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education in the direction of training 44.04.01 “Pedagogical Education”.

This article is devoted to the features and benefits of a professionally-oriented approach to teaching a foreign language in non-linguistic high schools on the example of engineering education. According to the latest standards of higher education (FSES 3++), students must have sufficient knowledge of a foreign language for business communication in oral and written forms. However, teachers of high schools face a number of difficulties in the formation of a foreign language communicative competence offuture engineers, namely: a constant decrease of a number offoreign language practical classes in a curriculum of a high school and a weak motivation of students. In our opinion, a professionally-oriented approach to teaching helps to solve these problems and make the process of learning a foreign language more intensive, focused and effective. That is, now, the development of strategies, methodological models and tools for teaching English, with a focus on professional communication, is an actual task for an English teacher at the University. This article presents some methods and techniques that stimulate students of engineering faculty to professionally oriented communication in English. Much attention is paid to both active teaching methods used during practical English classes, and individual work, which allows students to get more useful information and skills within the practical classes given, and also allows students to develop the need for individual knowledge acquisition and comprehension, thereby providing the increased interest of communication in a foreign language and increasing motivation to learn a foreign language.
