The research paper concerns the issue of the communicative competence level of masters in the field
of foreign economic activity as a key skill to face challenges of contemporary conditions of the global market. The authors have made an assessment of both the general communicative competence and professionally-oriented foreign language communicative competence level of development. The findings of this
analysis have revealed a low level of mastery of communicative means by respondents as well as mainly a
minimum level of proficiency in professionally-oriented foreign language communication skills. Based on
the study made, the authors have proposed various methods to develop and increase the level of the communicative competence of the masters in the field of foreign economic activity, which included different
interactive training methods such as discussions, disputes, «brain storming», training in cooperation, business and situation-role games, case studies and others both in Ukrainian and English.
