The author points out that the history of development of foreign language education started in XIX century and translation methods were preferred which later were replaced by the communicative approach. The emphasis is made on the fact that implementing of the standards in the sphere of education are conditioned by two factors: the social order of the society, which is a strategic reference point for language policy in the field of foreign language learning, as well as the level of development of the theory and practice of teaching English, that creates the appropriate context for applying new methodological ideas.
