Abstract
The formation of foreign language communicative competence in the written field is an important task in teaching students of engineering and technology areas. The article proposes an effective approach to developing essay writing skills, which includes four stages: analysing samples, selecting arguments, writing and refining the text, and receiving feedback. The technique has been tested among students of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology: the system of exercises is aimed at developing argumentation, logical coherence, and mental operations of analysis and synthesis. The experiment showed that the achievements of the students of the experimental group were 25% higher than the results of the control group. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for improving academic writing among students of technical specialties.
