Business English course for Public Management and Administration students is intended to help prepare them to perform effectively in
particular professional contexts. The current socio-economic situation provides future specialists in the field of public administration with more
opportunities for self-realization, which can be carried out not only through constant communication with foreign colleagues and partners but
also through the performance of professional duties in a foreign language environment. Business foreign language communicative competence
as an important component of communicative culture is an integral part of higher education.
This paper aims to define the system of activities and exercises that can be used to develop communicative skills in Business Foreign
Language classes for students majoring in Public Management and Administration. While studying, students master the technique of
communication, its operational side, speech etiquette, strategy and tactics of dialogic and group communication, i.e., they master the ability to
communicate, establish contacts with other people, and learn to solve various communication problems.
The assignment of a business foreign language teacher is to train and develop communication skills throughout the entire period of
studying this discipline. An important factor in this process is a combination of teaching lexical topics of a business foreign language,
grammatical rules and learning cultural differences of the countries in which business is conducted. All this learning should be based on the
communicative approach to language learning. Therefore, the author proposes a system of exercises to develop communicative skills that
should be taught in each lesson. Among them the audio/video materials with the pre-listening and pre-watching activities, as well as postlistening and post-watching exercises. The given system of activities and exercises can help form a steady complex of communicative skills that
are of huge importance for future specialists in the field of Public Management and Administration.
