The possibilities of digital technologies as a means of forming the communicative competence of students

Abstract

The relevance of the article is due to the need that a modern teenager should be able to "work competently with information, be sociable, contact in various social groups, and be able to work together in different areas." Communicative competence began to change in schools and new ones began to appear that are directly related to digital technologies. However, now there are contradictions: between the need for a person who has communication skills and the insufficient development of theoretical and practical approaches to the development of communicative competence  of high school students using digital technologies; between the recognition of communication as a leading activity in senior school age and the insufficient development of the methodology of psychological and pedagogical work with this age group to develop communication skills. Thus, the purpose of the article is to identify the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of communication skills, their theoretical justification, as well as to assess the psychological and pedagogical possibilities of a set of practical measures using digital technologies as a means of developing the communication skills of high school students in the modern educational process.
