Abstract
The paper discusses the specific implementation of interactive teaching technologies – simulation business roleplay «Courts and Trials» – as a method of competence approach implementation in teaching foreign languages to students of Belovo Institute (branch) of Kemerovo state University. The main task of teaching is developing the ability to speak, and especially to speak on professional topics. The key cultural competencies are at the heart of teaching a foreign language due to their universal component. In this regard, the increasing use of interactive teaching methods, including simulation of real mechanisms and processes, provides for reducing the time to achieve the planned learning outcomes and, thus, forms the students' professional knowledge and skills quite more efficiently.
