Abstract

The tendency to study a foreign language for oral communication has become acute, so students’ ability to speak correctly and fluently is the first consideration of English language teachers. They are in search of effective methods to develop students’ communicative competence. The purpose of the article is to analyze a method of discussion, to show its forms and prove its efficiency. The authors conducted the pedagogical experiment on the issue at the lessons of English (senior forms of Gymnasium №36 in Rostov-on-Don). The study examines the theoretical foundations of the communicative competence, explains the concept “discussion as a method” and shows its practical application in the educational process. As a result, the authors suggest their recommendations to the audience of English teachers how to be successful in the arrangement of discussion classes. The method has proved effective: students have very much a mind to discuss something in English during such lessons and it benefits their communication and socialization in general.
