This promotes the stimulation of memory, develops logical, analytical and creative thinking. The peculiarities of communicative method of studying a foreign language in technical higher education establishments are drafted. It is emphasized that this method is effective on condition of the teacherʼs high professional training, of his ability to organize the process, to adapt the students/cadets on condition of appropriate logistic support.

from considering English as an object of study to its practical use. It is stressed that the new non- traditional methods of a foreign language study stimulate students/cadets to manifest their

language activity and this comprises their attractiveness and ultimate significance. Communicative methodology of a foreign language study promotes speeding-up the process of talking a foreign language and then of thinking it. This methodology is convenient for conducting the lessons and more than that, that is, it can be used both for work in class-room and for out of school activities.
