The increased interest in the communicative side of education and the need to develop a communicative culture in higher education is explained by the fact that Russian specialists, in particular in the field of management, experience significant difficulties in professional (business) communication.

Several approaches were applied to the development of communicative culture: the cultural approach, the communicative activity-oriented approach, the personality-oriented approach, and the integrative approach. According to the results of the study, it was found that the system of tasks of an interdisciplinary nature, which makes the basis of the author's integrated course, allows us to use speech activity in order to effectively manage the processes of business communication. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the complex systematization of educational and methodological, special literature devoted to the problem of research.

The issue of teaching foreign language business communication to IT students is a quite challenging task due to a lack of organizational and methodological resources allocated to minor disciplines within curricula, as well as current educational trends: digitalization and the evolution of student-centered approaches. The purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness of the visual novel as a tool for teaching business communication in the context of the previously noted current trends. The research method is experimental learning based on gamification. Visual novels can be a useful tool for developing communication skills. Compared to conventional interactive classes, visual novels have a number of advantages in terms of educational process organization. They do not have such restrictions as the complex and time-consuming preparation of lessons, limited classroom time, the need for a certain number of participants, etc. Responding to modern education trends and social demand they not only productively implement the ideas of alternative teaching methods, but also create environment that evokes an emotional response in a certain target group, stimulates learning motivation, and makes it possible to demonstrate the importance and continuity of business communication in a time perspective. Since IT training in most cases does not include business communication course, it can be included as a part of other discipline and/or a module, and it was decided to conduct the training within a basic EFL course. At the current stage of the experiment, there is generally positive dynamics. The prospect for further development of such educational resources can extend to specialties for which business communication is not one of the core activities, as well as transferring into a public format.
