The article examines the pedagogical technology aimed at developing students’ socio-communicative competence in English language education within the field of social sciences. It highlights the importance of integrating communicative, sociocultural, and interactive approaches in the learning process to prepare students for effective participation in real-life communication and professional interaction. The study emphasizes that socio-communicative competence includes linguistic accuracy, pragmatic flexibility, and social awareness, which are essential for students’ academic and professional success. The authors propose a technology based on student-centered learning, project-based methods, and digital tools that encourage collaboration, reflection, and self-assessment. The implementation of this technology has been shown to enhance students’ motivation, communication skills, and intercultural understanding, contributing to their overall communicative competence and readiness for global communication.
