The competence paradigm of education has set a new "tone" for the educational process, focusing the attention of the pedagogical community on the need to form a set of competencies that university graduates will use in future life and professional life. One of the significant competences of the future specialist is the communicative competence, which is formed in the process of studying various disciplines, and first of all, the humanities. In the article, on the basis of a theoretical analysis of the research available in the Russian pedagogical science on the conceptual provisions of the competence-based approach, its detailed study was carried out and its potential in the formation of the communicative competence of students in the process of learning a foreign language was described. A generalized interpretation of the main interpretations of the key concepts "competence approach", "competence", "competence", "communicative competence" is given, including in relation to the process of learning a foreign language. A comprehensive theoretical analysis of modern scientific works of linguists, methodologists, and teachers, which are centered on the key ideas and key points of the competence approach in the study of the "Foreign Language" discipline, is undertaken. The opinions of authoritative scientists - ideologists of both the competence approach and the developers of the conceptual basis for the formation of communicative competence in the process of learning a foreign language from the perspective of this approach are presented. The goals of learning a foreign language, indicated in the Federal State Educational Standard and shown by teachers, who consider both the theoretical aspects of the formation of communicative competence and directly implement them in practice, are shown. The importance of the formation of professional communicative competence as a strategic task of the modern process of teaching a foreign language in higher education institutions within the framework of the competence paradigm of education is particularly noted, which is seen as extremely important for graduates in higher education to find and determine their place in the modern complex world, as well as for their further self, self-development and self-improvement.
