Modern educational paradigm based on the principles of learners’ initiative, focus on competences, computer-aided instruction requires designing of appropriate educational technologies that promote accomplishment of up-to-date top priority objectives of foreign language education. In the framework of this study, the authors examine and describe an interactive educational technology that aims at engagement of learners in the process of their professional activity integrated with the context of foreign language communication in the newly emerged forms by appropriate means of interaction. The paper focuses on specific features of the interactive technology that define content, approaches, methods and principles of teaching. The problem of determining the aspects of learning and teaching activities is discussed. The teachinglearning algorithm developed on the basis of the interactive technology is proposed. The algorithm involves application of several interaction-based methods, namely the project-based learning, tandem method, event-based learning, cooperative learning, and includes 12 steps. The major specificity of the teaching model manifests itself in the new-type nature of the teaching-learning process which takes place in the project-based research coworking. The results of the approbation have demonstrated that the interactive educational technology is characterized by a number of features, such as integrality, eventfulness, productivity, contextuality, contributing to the actualization of the subject position of Master students and their active verbal interaction. The results of experimental teaching have proved the effectiveness of the interactive educational technology in developing new types of communicative skills in Master students aimed at their ability to perform the function of confident interlocutors in academic communication.
