The trends occurring in the sphere of contemporary education make the study of the issue of the development of communicative skills relevant. The unfettered development of a person, creative initiative, and student independence are the three areas where socioeconomic changes are influencing education.

The subjectivity, individuality, and psychological readiness of secondary school pupils for intensive communication activity in the context of business communication, as well as the lack of sufficient scientific elaboration of this issue in pedagogy, determine the relevance of studying the process of formation of communicative competence. It is vital to perform educational research in this regard to identify efficient techniques for developing communicative skills.
