The relevance of the research is conditioned by the growing need for technical specialists with developed business writing skills in English in the context of globalization and internationalization of business and science. Despite the high level of professional knowledge, many engineering students experience difficulties in composing business correspondence and professional documents in English, which hinders their effective communication and successful integration into the international professional community. The aim of this article is to justify a model of teaching engineering students to write in English in order to develop the necessary competences for successful professional and academic activity in an international context. The model is designed to fill the gaps in language training, focusing on the specifics of business communication and requirements for professional texts. The methodological basis of the research is a complex approach, including the analysis of existing methods of teaching business English, taking into account the specifics of teaching students of technical specialties, as well as the principles of competence and communicative approaches. The model is based on the integration of authentic materials, interactive tasks, project-based activities and feedback system aimed at developing practical skills of writing business letters, reports, proposals and other types of professional texts. Emphasis is placed on developing skills of information structuring, using business style, observing grammatical and stylistic norms, as well as taking into account cultural peculiarities of business communication. The results of the study demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed training model in improving the level of proficiency in business writing in English among engineering students. Practical application of the model showed a significant improvement in the quality of professional texts, increased students' confidence in their language skills and their readiness for international professional interaction. The obtained data confirm the necessity of purposeful and systematic work on the development of business writing skills in English among students of technical specialties. Theoretical significance of the research lies in the expansion of ideas about the methodology of teaching business English in a technical university, as well as in the substantiation of principles and approaches to the formation of relevant competences. Practical significance consists in the possibility of using the developed model of teaching in the educational process of technical universities to improve the quality of language training of graduates and their competitiveness in the international labor market. The model can be adapted for different technical specialties taking into account their specific needs and requirements to business communication.
