Sakharova N.S. THE ROLE OF INFO-COMMUNICATION SKILLS IN DEVELOPING FOREIGN LANGUAGE COMPETENCE OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTSDue to the strengthening of national sovereignty and information technologies development in the spheres of society, foreign language proficiency is becoming a key factor in personal and professional success. The development of foreign language competence determines the willingness of university students to effectively interact with the use of a foreign language for the purpose of professional training and integration into the international community. The research has examined the concepts of foreign language competence, info-communication skills, as well as identified their components and levels of implementation. The study has found that foreign language competence corresponds to the basic characteristics of communicative competence, includes motivational, linguistic, and pragmatic components, and is implemented at the cognitive, operational, and personal-professional levels. The article has revealed that info-communication skills as a group of communicative skills are a set of effective application of information technologies for working with information in the process of communicative interaction. Info-communication skills can be implemented at cognitive, activity and axiological levels. Info-communication skills and foreign language competence act as the basis for the development of supra-professional competencies and have common grounds: the categories of “information” and “interaction”, which are embodied in a foreign language through information technology. Thus, based on the established links, the significant role of info-communication skills in the development of foreign language competence of university students has been proved. It is concluded that info-communication skills are being transformed into a key component of modern foreign language training for university students, which necessitates their targeted development within the framework of higher school educational programs.Key words: : info-communication skills, foreign language competence of university students, information, interaction, information technology.
