This paper considers the practical aspects of forming the professionally directed competency at the students of non-linguistic specialties in pedagogical universities. Modern conditions of society's life pose radically new tasks in the study of foreign languages in the education system. One of the most important tasks is the formation of specialists with a high level of professional competence, which makes graduates of the university competitive. Mastering of one or several languages is an integral part of the profession. Proceeding from this, the author notes: it is important to build the educational process in such a way that the future specialist is practically fluent in oral and written foreign-language speech. Under professional higher education, in the purposes and content of educational programs, the first step is to teach students to work with scientific information using new technologies in foreign language classes. In this regard, the experience of teaching the discipline «Foreign Language» and «Foreign Language (Special)» is summarized. The author presents the results of methodological research carried out at the Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University (NGPU).
