Knowledge of foreign languages - is the key to success in 
today's world, where communication in foreign languages and 
processing large amounts of information is becoming increasingly 
important. Nowadays knowledge of foreign languages plays an 
important role in the person‘s career, political and economic spheres 
of life. Possessing a foreign language, a person automatically goes to 
a higher social degree, as highly competitive member for any post 
either in one of the most prestigious foreign company or he could 
have active partnership in our country. International business and 
diplomatic relations are conducted in principal languages. There are 
six world languages that mainly play a key role in the world 
economic and political systems: English, Spanish, French, Russian, 
Chinese and Arabic. They are recognized as the official languages of 
the UNO. 
Learning a foreign language has been and remains an integral 
part of modern professionals‘ formation process. European language 
policy focuses on multilingualism. It is simply impossible in modern 
world without this successful integration. National interests of 
Ukraine require the identification of Ukraine as an influential 
European country, full-fledged EU member. Studying in educational 
institutions with more than one foreign language is in the interests of 
overall national policy of Ukraine, because today our country is on 
the path to European integration and close cooperation with the 
countries of the European world, which is not possible without 
language skills. 
The proficiency in English plays an important role in 
international relationships, because this is the official language of

international business and commerce, Internet and technology, 
science and arts. More and more multinational companies are 
mandating English as the common corporate language—Airbus,

November 16, 2015, the President of Ukraine Petro
