Abstract. This article examines the theoretical aspects of foreign language communicative competence in students of higher medical education. The study analyses the concepts of «communication», «linguistic communication», «foreign language professional communication», and «foreign language communicative competence». It is emphasized that the development of medicine and national healthcare systems requires the application of advancements in medicine from other countries. In this context, proficiency in a foreign language and the ability to communicate with international specialists play a crucial role. Therefore, foreign language communicative competence is an essential component of the professional competence of future medical practitioners. Foreign language communicative competence is defined as an integrative personal and professional quality that determines a specialist’s ability and readiness to creatively address practice-oriented and communicative tasks within their professional activity and foreign language professional communication. The foundation of foreign language communicative competence is foreign language professional communication, understood as a system of communicative norms, skills, and strategies that enables effective use of a foreign language for professional communicative activities, participation in international projects, continuation of studies abroad, and engagement in scientific research. Teaching foreign languages for professional purposes at higher medical education institutions ensures the development of the necessary communicative capacity in both oral and written forms of professional communication. It equips students with practical language skills across various types of speech activity to the extent required by professional needs and facilitates access to the latest professional information through foreign language sources.

Today, knowledge of foreign languages is required to avoid barriers to communication between people around the world. Thus, learning foreign languages is relevant at almost any age.The purpose of this article is to consider the generally accepted methods and determine the effectiveness of each of them during training. To achieve fluency in a foreign language, it is necessary to divide foreign language communicative competence into a number of components and develop them both individually and in combination. Each of the models is a separate and independent method that can be used to improve certain components of foreign language communicative competence. The main components include: the development of speech, writing, reading, and the study of vocabulary. There is no single approach in the scientific literature to determine the structure of foreign language communicative competence, as the general form of this competence can be presented in a set of components such as linguistic, sociolinguistic and pragmatic competence. Therefore, it is not possible to dwell on a specific method as ideal for the formation of competence, as each of them has its disadvantages and advantages. The formation of foreign language communicative competence requires a long and careful study of the material offered by a teacher who uses a certain method.

The work is devoted to determining the purpose of professional foreign language teaching to students of an agrarian university in the conditions of content and language integrated learning. Based on the study of the history of the issue of determining the purpose of foreign language teaching at different stages, it was concluded that the main result of teaching should be the development of students’ professional intercultural foreign language communicative competence. This type of competence in work is understood as the ability and willingness of agrarian university students to use a foreign language as a mean of professional communication with representatives of different countries and cultures, taking into account the specifics of intercultural interaction, as well as a mean of cognition and professional development. Structurally, intercultural professional foreign language communicative competence includes three blocks: professional, intercultural, and foreign language communicative. Foreign language communicative competence represents the ability and willingness of students to use a foreign language as a mean of communication, cognition and development. It will reflect the professional orientation of teaching and include linguistic, speech, sociocultural, strategic and educational-cognitive components. Intercultural competence represents the ability and willingness to interact with representatives of different countries and cultures, aimed at establishing professional intercultural contacts, resolving conflict situations in the field of intercultural communication, and achieving the goals of intercultural interaction. All these three blocks of professional intercultural foreign language communicative competence exist separately only for descriptive purposes and are in close interconnection with each other. We also consider professional foreign language communicative competence as a level category consisting of value-motivational, cognitive, communicative and reflective components. Each of the components is described in detail.

One of the results of international cooperation and competitiveness is the need to remove the language barrier between its participants.
