Modern demands for the professional model of the future specialist stipulate the necessity of introducing dialogical methods of education. One of such methods is the interactive one. Interactive education is based on the concept of active interaction of all educational subjects, two-way exchange of information and a carefully organised feedback. The research aim is to theoretically substantiate and experimentally verify the efficacy of using interactive techniques in developing foreign language lexical skills as a constituent of professional competence of students majoring in language teaching. There have been used some general scientific methods of theoretical level (analysis, systematisation of psychological and pedagogical, instructive and methodological literature, generalisation of information, induction, deduction, comparison) and methods of empirical level (purposeful observation). As a research result there has been specified the concept of interactive activity aimed at the development of students’ foreign language lexical skills. Such activity is based on interaction of educational subjects in the process of searching, transmitting and using lexical units on the personally essential level. In the course of scientific research there have been analyzed such interactive techniques of developing foreign language lexical skills as working with lexical cards, lexical projects and authentic material. The usage of these interactive techniques positively influences the process of forming all constituents of professional competence of students majoring in language teaching – linguistic, speech, sociocultural, operational, and managerial. It has been proved that implementing of such interactive techniques is effective in solving personal tasks, stimulates self-managing functions and the cognitive sphere, enables correct and conscientious usage of linguistic phenomena.
