The method of projects as a progressive method of teaching foreign language communication in the mainstream of modern education

It is proved that the fundamental purpose of teaching a foreign language is the formation of a foreign language communicative competence, that is, the ability to communicate with representatives of a foreign language culture, within which it is necessary to activate the main types of foreign language speech activity: speaking, listening, reading, writing. It is proved that the development of foreign language communicative competence is impossible without addressing the peculiarities of foreign culture. The experience of teaching foreign languages shows that it is often difficult for students to formulate an integral, logical and complete statement on their own due to the difference in cultural differences at the verbal and non-verbal levels of communication. The main difficulties are related to the fact that comprehensive knowledge of a foreign language is necessary for the implementation of foreign language communication, the formation of which is becoming particularly relevant in the conditions of modern education. In connection with the above, the question of finding an effective methodology for the development of foreign language communicative competence is raised. It is assumed that the project method allows you to build the learning process in such a way that students will be placed in conditions as close as possible to the conditions of real communication, which, in turn, will contribute to immersion in the specifics of someone else's culture. In addition, the project method allows solving the problem of the formation of an educational motive, since the mentioned method implements the principles of personalityoriented learning, according to which students can choose the topic of a lesson in a foreign language that will correspond to the sphere of their interests.
