Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study’s significance lies in its the need to develop foreign language professional communicative competence (FLPCC) of non-linguistic university students and the exploration of ways to achieve it. Developing FLPCC embodies not only speaking fluently in a foreign language in the professional field but also enhancing linguistic and communicative skills alongside subject knowledge. The purpose of this research is to identify effective methods and approaches for fostering fluent communication skills within the context of teaching chemistry in English. Analysis of the diverse methods of developing FLPCC enables us to reveal the components of this competence and create a set of exercises based on Kunanbaeva’s modelling. To evaluate the effectiveness of this set of exercises used in class organization, diagnostic monitoring was conducted. The findings obtained from the final exam revealed that the students enhanced their professional communicative skills, expanded their vocabulary, and were motivated to further develop their linguistic skills. These research findings are beneficial for young scientists, teachers, and students conducting research in this field.
