Abstract
Currently, in the theory and practice of education, there is a search for forms and methods that can create conditions for the development of communication skills and teamwork skills, in other words, the development of social competence and the ability to study independently. Such forms and methods are based on the activity of each subject of the educational process, the ability to independently make decisions and make choices, as well as on the coexistence of different points of view and their free discussion. Such a form of organization of the educational process as work in a team has great potential for this realization. Working in a team makes it possible to more often enter into communication with other members of the team, formulate one's position, coordinate actions, which can contribute to the development of cooperation, interpersonal competence, and communicative culture
