Abstract
The article is devoted to an important aspect of modern life-the study of foreign languages. The role of a foreign language in the implementation of interethnic cooperation and its importance in solving problems of a communicative orientation is noted. The author characterizes a foreign language as an important educational factor. The author believes that the art of foreign language proficiency makes it possible to interact productively in all spheres of society, which corresponds to joint contacts on a national scale, research, intellectual, applied and others. Knowledge of a foreign language and the ability to apply it in practice in the current difficult situation in the labor market gives a professional significant advantages and is the main principle of qualification authority. According to the author, the dynamic formation of a scientific and technological society leads to the disappearance of space-time constraints, which contributes to the interaction of people with each other. The author notes the imperceptible blurring of the line between countries, as a result, the transformation of state territories into one unified structure is observed. In connection with globalization, there is a tendency to the inevitable dominance of language competencies in the world, determined by the rapid development of information logistics and continuous professional development of vocational education. According to the author, with the increase in the number of foreign business partners, the mastery of international nano - and political technologies and the strengthening of joint activities in the professional sphere with foreign consultants, a huge number of domestic firms and enterprises need professionals with knowledge of foreign languages. Over the past two decades, Russia has undergone fundamental political, socio-economic and cultural changes. The author emphasizes that with the transition from a planned directive system of the economy to a market one, the degree of independence and personal responsibility of citizens has increased. This study identifies the circumstances under which the English language is beginning to lose its dominant position as the undisputed leader in determining the direction of world politics. At the same time, there is an increase in the popularity of the Russian language as a foreign language, even in the context of the sanctions policy. The article deals with the influence of a foreign language on the mental activity, imagination and memory of a person. The author emphasizes the active participation of language competencies in strengthening political and economic ties and in shaping the image of the state. The study provides an evidence base for the need for foreign language proficiency as an integral part of achieving success in professional activities.
