In considering this, the Ukrainian higher education institutions conducted a study on the development of foreign language competence of higher education students in the context of blended learning. The purpose of the article is to develop and empirically establish the effectiveness of the author's model of foreign language competence development of higher education students in the context of blended learning. The study involved the development, implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the author's model of foreign language competence development of higher education students in the context of blended learning. The participants of the study were students of higher education institutions: HEI 1, HEI 2, HEI 3, who majored in the following specialties: international activities, international relations and some technical specialities. The participants were 1st, 3rd and 5th year students.A total of 138 students were interviewed (68 from the experimental and 70 from the control group). The study confirmed that the implementation of the method of organizing the formation of foreign language competence of  higher education students, which requires an optimal combination of blended learning with modern digital tools and the professional orientation of foreign language training in the system of higher education institutions, helps advance foreign language competence of higher education students.

The article presents an approach to solve the problem of foreign language competence development in future bachelors in non-language specialties. The author believes that modern educational curricula developers should pursue the idea to make it possible for future bachelors to perceive and produce textuality or dicourses in a foreign language and thus perform well developed discursive foreign language competence. Development of such competence requires that special educational conditions, tuition model and technique should become a part of tutorial methodology aimed at realizing a variety of approaches to form the competence in question in future bachelors in non-language fields. Revelation of such educational conditions and development of tuition model result from synergy of Philology and Pedagogy what allows to develop students understanding how the language of communication functions. Their advanced and high level of discursive foreign language competence make it possible for them to efficiently discuss a wide range of topics when their everyday life and professional activities are concerned. The Anglo-Saxon model of communication is being considered as an effective means to make it possible for students to slip from their native language model of communication onto the one in the foreign language. To sum up, understanding of the nature of discourse phenomenon, its systematic features, the algorithm of the Anglo-Saxon model of communication contribute a lot to well-grounded definition of the term discursive foreign language competence in pedagogical purposes. Solution to the problem of the discursive foreign language competence development provides future bachelors with a comfortable start in their specialty on the level of international contacts as well as further educational opportunities abroad as they are able to perform advanced and high level of competence when discourse practices of Anglo-Saxon model of communication are concerned. Moreover, future bachelors ability to have discursive foreign language practices on their fingertips may retrospectively impact and improve their communication model in the native tongue.

Purpose of the study: Justification of the factors of efficiency of implementing Krashen's theory on the basis of the implementation of the ideas of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) for the development of students' language competence in the study of English on the example of Russian universities. Methodology: Questionnaire survey, a pedagogical experiment; correlation-regression analysis; the principal component method (Н5). Main findings: The linguistic competence in foreign language learning should be considered as a set of linguistic, communicative, and social competences consisting of a great variety of speech acts and communicative functions related to communicative behavior and social life. The most important component in the structure of linguistic competence is the linguistic competence proper that determines the level of foreign language proficiency. For students studying using the CLIL method, the learning material complexity level should be 2.5 times higher than the level of students' competence; for students studying in universities that do not use the CLIL method - 1.9 times higher. It is advisable to structure the training on principle from simple to complex content of the learning material, as well as training based on learning materials of higher complexity than the level of students' competence, using an individual approach. Applications of this study: The results obtained will serve as the basis for methodological materials development and an algorithm for organizing the learning process in such a way as to ensure the maximum possible level of language competence development among students using the CLIL method not only in the process of learning English but also other foreign languages. Novelty/Originality of this study: Empirical evaluation of factors of efficiency of practical implementation of the CLIL in the educational process and adaptation of Krashen's methodology in the process of forming students' language competence.
