Abstract. In the modern world, in the era of universal informatization and globalization of computer technologies, special attention is paid to raising the status of a foreign language as a communicative means, due to factors such as the expansion of economic, political, diplomatic cultural ties between countries, the development of mass communication, interstate integration in the field of education and science.  Along with this, the requirements for the level of language training of future personnel in many areas of activity are also increasing.In large countries such as Russia, Great Britain, USA, Japan, etc., special attention is paid to the problems of improving the foreign language competence of students of higher educational institutions as future specialists in various industries. At the same time, the issues related to the professional skills of specialists (World Skills International), the educational system in the professional sphere and the assessment of the language competencies of students are sufficiently highlighted. In this regard, it is imperative to note the important role of information and communication technologies, the implementation of which is inevitable in the process of teaching a foreign language,and is an object of international research.Today, the high level of technical equipment in educational institutions creates a stable basis for the successful implementation of ICT in the educational process. The use of electronic educational resources contributes to the potential of unlimited learning opportunities and has a positive effect on the formation of foreign language communicative competence of students, providing an opportunity to reveal the socio-cultural features of the language in full and to obtain reliable information on certain issues.Electronic resources can serve as a basis for creating an information-subject environment and contribute to self-education of students, satisfying their professional and personal interests and needs. The use of educational electronic resources is aimed primarily at the formation of students' communicative competence, as well as at the development of communicative-cognitive skills to carry out the correct search and selection, analyze and synthesize the information received.
