Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of developing communicative competence in a foreign language of university students by using innovative methods and interactive task formats. The authors believe that the emphasis should be placed on developing cognitive skills of learners, their autonomy and teamwork skills, as well as their digital competence. While teaching and assessing students’ communicative competence, the teacher should provide communicative situations which are based on solving a problem, developing critical thinking, analyzing data and using modern technologies to collaborate with other learners. The authors aim to explore how modern British novels can be used in order to increase students’ academic motivation, actively involve them in learning and effectively develop all components of their communicative competence (i.e. linguistic, discourse, sociocultural, cognitive and strategic competences). Results of the research presented in the article offer proof that the new approach to creating tasks has a positive effect on the acquisition of a foreign language and the development of students’ abilities and skills of different nature.
