The article dwells on methodological basics of teaching foreign language for specific purposes to the engineering students based on the technologies of electronic and blended learning. The objective of implementing such technologies is to optimize the process of competence development for professionally-oriented foreign language communication, which is due to the existing contradiction between the significant changes in the higher education system, constantly increasing requirements for foreign language proficiency of the graduates, on the one hand, and very insufficient amount of class hours to study such non-core discipline as “Foreign language”, on the other hand. The author defines such notions as an engineer, electronic and blended learning; describes the components of blended learning model, the principles that underpin the process of teaching foreign language for specific purposes for engineering students on the basis of blended learning model.
