The article examines the trends in language education in the conditions of globalization. The author studies the interdependence between the world development problems and the modern system of language education. Turning to the issues of foreign language education in modern conditions is conditioned by the economic and political rather than the linguistic problems. The lack of language knowledge in the conditions of growth of international contacts causes huge material and moral damages. Learning foreign languages becomes a necessity. This requires changes in the approaches to the study of languages, which should enable students to use them in real communication.
