Abstract

The purpose of the study was to develop and implement a comprehensive project to improve communication technologies, in the context of a professionally oriented approach to distance education of academic English in technical faculties. The research methodology was related to the development and testing of the project, aimed at improving skills in the formation of students' communicative competence. To estimate the quality of the project, two stages were carried out in the application of the survey to the students. The first phase of the survey was carried out in March 2020 before the start of the project. The second stage of the student survey was carried out at the end of the first semester (in January 2021), being implemented remotely. The analysis carried out and the results of the survey indicate that the development of communication technologies and online learning are substantially related. The world of communication technologies should definitely be considered as a tool to improve communicative competence, self-organization, self-development and personal growth.
