We have analyzed scientific and pedagogical research on the problem of developing communicative competence. In the works of scientists A.A. Leontiev, A.S. Turchin, V.I. Teslenko, V.B. Kashkin, we find various definitions of communicative competence and communicative competencies. The analysis of scientific research allowed us to define communicative competence as a set of knowledge, skills, experience in carrying out communicative actions, and the development of communication abilities. In our research, students have the opportunity to master the main functions of communicative competence: communication, interaction, and the development of non-standard solutions. The study has proven that effective development of communication skills and teamwork contribute to improving the communicative competence of future teachers.</jats:p>
