Abstract
The development of foreign language professional and communicative competence is a necessary component of the professional training of students of technical universities and a necessary condition for the formation of a secondary linguistic personality capable to communicate with specialists from other countries in the multicultural space in conditions of international mobility. Integration of Ukraine into the European space and the economic aspect of globalization enable specialists from various fields, including food industry, to communicate successfully in foreign language in order to solve professionally-oriented tasks. Hence, there is a need not only in communicative competence in foreign language, but also in a professional communicative competence. Such competence, first of all, promotes the mobility of the specialist, opens the possibility of employment in various international organizations and companies - trade, financial, transnational, the possibility of participation in international projects, as well as continuing education in prestigious foreign higher education institutions, even by distance learning, advances specialist’s own professional culture, strengthens the competitiveness of a specialist, etc. The purpose of the study is to consider the definition, structure and content of foreign language professional communication skills of future food industry engineers in linguistic activity, the specifics of the development of this competence in the process of studying the discipline "English for specific purposes". The study determines that foreign language communicative competence is an integral characteristic of professional activity of a specialist that includes such substructures: activity (knowledge, skills, skills and methods of professional activity) and communicative (knowledge, skills, skills and methods of professional communication). The model of foreign language professional communicative competence of future engineers-technologists of food industry consists of a set of key competences: linguistic, discursive, strategic, intercultural, pragmatic (social), linguistic-professional, social-informational, personal (personal, individual). In this foreign language competence is considered by us as a set of three components: motivational, cognitive and activity and emotional. For the formation of foreign language professional and communicative competence, it is necessary to ensure the practical orientation of teaching a foreign language of professional orientation, namely, the course of a foreign language should be closely linked with a number of special disciplines studied by students from specialized courses. As a result of studying a foreign language for specific purposes future food industry engineers must develop conversational skills, namely, to be able to make a dialogue in personal, professional and business communication; create a monologue on professional topics (messages, reports, presentations); the skills of listening, namely, to be able to understand the content of oral speeches in a spoken foreign language at a usual rate on cultural and professional subjects; listen useful information in the listening process; reading skills, namely, to be able to fully understand the content of the original professionally oriented texts using the dictionary; to understand the general contents of the original professionally oriented texts without the use of the dictionary; writing skills, namely, ability to write different types of academic writing in a foreign language (abstract, resume).
