Developing Communicative Competence of Non-Linguistic Students Through Modelling Authentic Situations 192 of Indirect Reporting

The article discusses the formation of communicative competence among students of non-linguistic faculties as one of the most important goals of professional training of a specialist of a non-linguistic speciality in modelling situations to render direct authentic speech. In accordance with the latest regulatory acts in education, the formation of a foreign language communicative competence is one of the fundamental requirements of our time. Most of the federal state educational standards include this competency, taking into account the linguistic, discursive, sociocultural components. The principle of communicativeness is directly related to teaching a foreign language at all levels, and proper knowledge of indirect speech enables a student of a higher educational institution to implement this principle in a natural language environment. Since the speaker conveys information to the recipient through indirect speech, this type of speech is pragmatic. Therefore, when choosing teaching methods for a teacher, it is important to consider that indirect speech is pragmatic in nature. The recipient perceives, decodes authentic information, transforms it into indirect speech and reproduces, thereby using complex cognitive mechanisms. Each student has their own individual perceptive characteristics, the level of knowledge of a foreign language, they are more or less predisposed to one or another type of speech activity. In formulating an indirect statement, the speaker's focus is on the content of the message. Therefore, it is important to study the cognitive mechanisms of the formation and application of direct authentic speech rendering by students and its transformation into indirect. The article analyses the quality of methodological support and the development of this competency in the framework of the modern educational environment; makes a theoretical overview of the Russian and foreign methodological literature on the formation of indirect speech skills; hypothesizes that the representation of the original statement in an indirect form may be new for language learners, thus decreasing comprehension when simulating situations for rendering direct authentic speech; presents a study aimed at examining the mechanisms of the communicative competence formation in non-linguistic students when they model situations to render direct authentic speech. The level of students' communicative competence depends directly on their ability to achieve the goal of communication fully in a natural foreign language environment, based on the contextual features of the text, while maintaining the semantic core of the utterance. The article also evaluates the results of the study and offers methodological recommendations.
