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.
