The article is aimed at analyzing the scientists’ point of view regarding the notion “competence-based approach”, interpreting and determining its functions within the academic process of higher school. A thorough study of scientific papers and specialized research has enabled us to comprehend the scope of scientific activity in development and interpretation of a variety of opinions on the issue as well as to realize there is no consensus of opinions in pedagogics when it comes to choosing top-priority approaches to teaching vocational subjects in higher school. The research methods include analysis, synthesis and other ones. The analysis of opinions held by scientists in terms of interpreting the contents of the notion “competence-based approach” and determining its functions in the academic process of the higher education system is presented in the article; the designated approach is implemented actively in teaching languages, it changes the goal and focus of education from mere subject-specific knowledge and skills transfer to bringing up a well-developed personality with steady life skills and professional competences. The author arrives at the conclusion that the above-mentioned approach is based on interdisciplinary and integrated requirements to the quality of the educational process, encourages students’ academic and cognitive activities, facilitates formation of strong skills to communicate fluently both orally and in writing, and teaches them to use resources of the Ukrainian language expediently in various communicative situations.
