This article analyzes the possibilities of such an interactive method as free-speaking activity in English classes with a group of students for whom verbal communication was not of interest due to the inability to listen to the interlocutor, differences in the level of language proficiency, and psychological incompatibility with people involved in communication. The principle of training laid down in the research implied a certain sequence of actions that had specific goals and training objectives. The study is based on the comparative analysis of the results of role-play interviews performed by students – “job seekers” – prior to and after the application of the aforementioned approach. The results obtained, first of all, indicate the possibility of successfully regulating the balance of communicative activity in the classroom, which naturally reduces the time of speaking for the teacher and increases the time for developing and improving speaking skills for students. Second, through the use of this method, students overcame psychological barriers caused by the fear of speaking and making mistakes. In general, the experiment facilitated not only influencing the improvement of students’ speaking skills, but also discovering the high potential of the free-speaking activity method for non-linguistic universities, where, as is known, foreign language learning is not a leading subject.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В данной статье описывается эксперимент, направленный на развитие и продвижение коммуникативных навыков у студентов технических вузов. В статье анализируются возможности такого интерактивного метода, как свободная речевая деятельность на занятиях по английскому языку с группой студентов, для которых вербальное общение не представляло интереса из-за неумения слушать собеседника, различий в языковом уровне, психологической несовместимости с людьми, вовлеченными в общение. Принцип обучения, заложенный в исследовании, предполагал определенную последовательность действий, которые имели конкретные цели и задачи обучения. Исследование основано на сравнительном анализе результатов ролевых интервью, проведенных студентами-"соискателями" до и после применения вышеупомянутого подхода. Полученные результаты, во-первых, указывают на возможность успешного регулирования баланса коммуникативной деятельности в аудитории, что естественным образом сокращает время говорения для преподавателя и увеличивает время для развития и совершенствования навыков говорения для студентов. Во-вторых, благодаря использованию данной методики студенты преодолели психологические барьеры, вызванные боязнью говорить и делать ошибки. В целом, эксперимент позволил не только повлиять на улучшение речевых навыков студентов, но и выявить высокий потенциал метода свободной речевой деятельности для неязыковых вузов, где, как известно, изучение иностранных языков не является основным предметом.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>communication skills</kwd><kwd>approach</kwd><kwd>free-speaking activity</kwd><kwd>English as a second language</kwd><kwd>teaching speaking skills</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>коммуникативные навыки</kwd><kwd>метод/подход</kwd><kwd>свободная речевая деятельность</kwd><kwd>английский как второй язык</kwd><kwd>обучение навыкам говорения</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Dneprovskaia N.V., Yankovskaia E.A., Shervtsova I.V.
