Nowadays, the socio-political, economic and cultural development of the social life in Uzbekistan, a change in the educational paradigm is taking place, as a result of which a person-oriented approach becomes the leading one, allowing to create conditions for effective training and further professional development of the specialist’s personality, its improvement and continuous education. We consider, a student-oriented approach in teaching foreign languages as a professional communication phenomenon to future specialists in non-linguistic universities is a process of organizing training that fully stimulates the manifestation of the student’s intellectual activity and helps to awaken his interest in himself as a linguistic personality. This approach is implemented by communicative means and situations that encourage the student to actively search for personal realization, the value of communicative experience for the development of a person as an individual. The indispensable conditions for the effectiveness of teaching foreign professional communication in the context of a personality-oriented approach, we consider: the implementation of the subject-subject relationship between the teacher and the student; the leading and guiding role of the teacher in the educational process; the use of traditional and innovative pedagogical technologies and methods, technical means, active and interactive forms of training.
