Abstract

The present paper describes the experiment aimed at developing motivation of foreign language communication among technical university students. This research was made in three phases. The first one was to diagnose the state of students’ motivation according to the test by A. Mehrabian. The second stage was a forming experiment, carried out on the basis of programs named “Formation of communicating motivation in the process of studying foreign language in higher school”. These programs included certain tasks and exercises aimed at developing some communication skills of students (making contact, developing self-confidence and self-awareness). The third stage was the final diagnosis, which is a re-test to determine the level of communicating needs among students. The results obtained thanks to careful analysis of communicating motivation dynamics can be used to control further development of students’ personal qualities
