NEXT-GENERATION COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT: TOWARDS FLEXIBLE LANGUAGE LEARNING

Abstract

In contemporary education, communicative competence is considered one of the most important competencies required for successful participation in academic, social, and professional environments. Modern society expects students not only to possess theoretical knowledge but also to communicate effectively, collaborate with others, think critically, and express ideas independently. Consequently, schools are increasingly expected to prepare learners for active participation in global communication processes.
