“DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN FRENCH AMONG NON-PHILOLOGICAL STUDENTS”

Abstract

In recent decades, foreign language education has become one of the most important components of higher education systems worldwide. The rapid development of international cooperation in economics, science, culture, medicine, and technology requires specialists who are capable of communicating effectively in foreign languages. Among the major international languages, French occupies an important place due to its historical, cultural, political, and economic significance. French is spoken on several continents and is considered one of the official languages of many international organizations, including the United Nations, UNESCO, and the European Union.
