Methods that stimulate students’ motivation to study, including active and interactive teaching methods, as well as methods of forming cognitive interests and methods of stimulating duty and responsibility are considered. Based on the analysis of scientific research on methodology of teaching, in particular on the topic of our investigation, effective motivational ways of developing of foreign language communicative competence of prospective programmers were selected.Thus, the author of this article, following the proposed methods of stimulating motivation, identified the subsequent five main motivational ways to improve the explorable competence: 1) the way of educational discussion method; 2) mode of modeling situations / situational method; 3) the means of motivational conversation; 4) mode of a role play / business game; 5) means of a collective / group studying.
