The role of Foreign Language, especially English, on the curriculum for student journalists is getting more and more considerable. Although Foreign Language does not belong to the list of main subjects in the course of Jounralism, learning foreign languages helps students to acquire most of Universal and Professional Competence prescribed by FSES (Federal State Educational Standard). Even non-specialized English student’s books offer diverse tasks which help to acquaint student journalists with the structure of articles in English-language mass media and try their hand at writing mini-articles of their own. In other words, learning foreign languages enables student journalists to develop nearly as high level of Universal and Professional Competence as any of the main subjects of their curriculum.
