The development of students’ communicative competence is one of the important priorities of contemporary education. In the context of rapid social, technological, and cultural changes, the ability of students to communicate effectively, express their opinions clearly, understand others, cooperate in groups, and apply acquired knowledge in real-life situations has become an essential educational outcome.
