The modern system of higher education places increasingly high demands on the level of graduate training, especially in the context of globalization and growing mobility of professional personnel. In this regard, the development of sustainable self-learning skills among students becomes particularly relevant and an integral part of professional education. One of the priority areas is the development of foreign language professional competence as a means of integration into the international professional community. Foreign language competence is regarded not only as proficiency in a foreign language, but also as a complex category that includes the ability to use the language in professional and intercultural communication. The aim of this study is to analyze the conceptual foundations of the independent development of foreign language competence among students, as well as to explore methodological approaches aimed at its enhancement in the context of higher education. Special attention is paid to students’ independent learning activities, which contribute not only to the development of language skills but also to the formation of universal competences such as critical thinking, information literacy, and self-organization. The study employs theoretical methods, including the analysis of scientific and educational literature, as well as comparative, systemic, and structural-functional approaches. As a result, key structural components of foreign language competence have been identified—linguistic, communicative, pragmatic, and sociocultural. The study presents the levels of competence formation and practice-oriented recommendations for its development. The theoretical significance of the research lies in clarifying the structure of foreign language competence and identifying its components in the context of professional training. The practical significance consists in the development of recommendations for promoting students’ autonomous learning activities. The scientific novelty lies in a comprehensive approach to the analysis of self-educational strategies for developing foreign language competence, taking into account the current requirements for pedagogical training.

In modern conditions of globalization, the active development of international relations and, of course, the increasing complexity of intercultural contacts, the formation of mediative competence in the process of language education is of particular importance. The need to acquire this competence is due to the requirements of professional communication, as well as to the challenges of intercultural interaction, which requires future specialists to be able to act as mediators between representatives of different linguistic and cultural systems. In this article, mediation skills are considered as an integrative component of professional training of specialists in the field of intercultural communication, including the mediation of meaning between participants in communication through linguistic means. The aim of the study is to theoretically substantiate and practically verify the model of mediation skills formation in the course of teaching foreign languages based on a competence-based approach. The scientific novelty of the research consists in clarifying the structure of mediation skills, which included such elements as reception, production, interaction and mediation, as well as in developing an integrated model reflecting the goals, content, methods and means of teaching aimed at developing these types of skills. Modern pedagogical technologies were tested in the course of the research, personality-oriented methods were implemented, and the conditions for the effective formation of mediation skills were considered. The results obtained confirm the effectiveness of the proposed model: positive changes in the level of students' communicative and mediation skills formation are noted, optimal methodological conditions for its application in the educational process are identified. The theoretical significance of the work consists in expanding scientific ideas about the content of mediation skills as an important component of professional training of specialists to work in a multicultural environment. The practical significance lies in the possibility of using the proposed methodological recommendations, techniques and technologies in the language education system, which contributes to improving the level of training of specialists in the field of intercultural communication and their successful integration into the professional community.
