The aim of the study is to develop communicative competence of students in the process of learning English on the basis of the use of ethnocultural traditions of the Sakha people. To achieve the goal of the research, we have the task of clarification and definition of essential characteristics of communicative competence, identification of its component structure taking into account the specific features of regional education, determining the level of its formation when learning English based on the use of linguistic and cultural material. The study used a method of analysis of psychological-pedagogical literature, aimed at clarifying the essential concepts «communicative competence» taking into account the specifics of regional education. Scientific novelty of the results obtained is defined as follows: the authors developed an idea of structuring formation of students’ communication competence, which is based on the use of ethnocultural potential of traditions of people of Sakha in educational process, present the analysis of «communicative competence» concept in the studies of Russian and foreign authors, define its level and components taking into account the specifics of regional education. The theoretical significance of the study is in expanding scientific knowledge in the field of regionalization of education through the theoretical substantiation of a significant scientific problem of ethnic-cultural competence of students in modern conditions and its implementation taking into account the potential of the ethnocultural traditions of the Sakha people in learning English. The practical significance of the results of the study is that a diagnostic tool has been developed and applied, including a set of techniques that allow us to assess the level of formed communicative competence of the trainees. In addition, the educational material of the subject «Foreign language» has been enriched, which helps to gradually form all components of the competence being studied. The presented data of the experimental work show a positive dynamics of communicative competence formation among students in learning English taking into account regional education specifics. The developed linguistic and cultural material can be used in the formation of communicative competence of students at university.

Business communication is an integral part of professional activities in various fields, however, it continues to be mistakenly associated mainly with the social and humanitarian specialists and its presence in the curricula of IT training programs is insufficient. According to educational standards, business communication skill belongs to the group of universal competences and its development is often correlated with the discipline "Foreign Language", however, the practice of multidisciplinary universities gives the priority to ESP courses within this discipline. The requirements of IT professional standards contain generalized descriptions of proficiency in a foreign language, which complicates assigning the educational objectives. These contradictions confirm the relevance of the presented study, the aim of which is to identify indicators of the development of IT students’ foreign language business communication skills in terms of their future professional activity. To compass this purpose, theoretical and empirical research methods are used: analysis of relevant publications and global trends in the field of communication skills development; comparative analysis of the requirements of educational and professional standards for IT training programs outcomes, as well as their compliance with the concept of (foreign language) communicative competence. The analysis of publications reveals changes in the nomenclature describing learning outcomes. The comparative analysis of standards provides: 1) clarification of the skills necessary for business communication in the context IT specialists’ activities. These skills are subsequently divided into groups related to the components of (foreign language) communicative competence according to Jan A. van Ek model; 2) identifying of the indicators of IT students’ foreign language business communication skills based on activities manifested in the process of IT specialists’ professional performance. The theoretical significance of the obtained results is the specification of meta-educational constructs (competences) in terms of business communication in the context of technologically oriented professions. The practical significance of the obtained results is the possibility of optimizing training programs and developing new means of teaching business communication in areas where business communication is not a core aspect. Prospects for further research – to find methodological solutions for business communication skills development according to IT field requirements while studying the discipline "Foreign Language" within IT training programs.
