For example, students receive a video on the topic "Communication in a Professional Environment" to watch at home, and during the class they perform role- playing games, analyze examples of business correspondence or compose professional dialogues in pairs. This contributes to the development of speaking skills in a real context, critical thinking and better assimilation of the material.

The debate method promotes the development of critical thinking, argumentation skills, persuasive communication and active listening. Students work on the topic from different sides, choose or receive a position "for" or "against" and publicly defend it. Debates stimulate deeper immersion in the topic, activate speech and contribute to the formation of communicative and analytical competencies.

The assessment may include elements of gamification (for example, a jury of students assigns "points for persuasiveness", "emotionality", "logic"). This format promotes the integration of speech, social and intellectual skills, and also allows you to assess the level of mastery of the material in an interesting and engaging way [4]. With the resumption of offline learning for the 1st year of study in September 2023, I am actively using the Peer Feedback method. The project aims to evaluate students' public speeches by fellow students. Students provide evaluative comments on their colleagues' speeches, where they note both positive aspects of the speeches and some points that can be improved. This format allows you to create an imitation
