The article presents an experimental validation of the effectiveness of a model designed to develop IT specialists’ readiness to perform professional foreign-language written communication. The relevance of the study arises from the increased requirements for graduates of higher education institutions that train IT specialists. One of the key requirements is the ability to effectively use foreign-language instrumental resources, which, according to professional standards, are primarily represented through technical documentation, interfaces, specifications, and communication in global teams. The aim of the article is to validate the effectiveness of the proposed model for developing IT specialists’ readiness to engage in professional foreign-language written communication through an experimental study. The preparation, organization and implementation of the experiment were grounded in theoretical principles of conducting pedagogical experiments, understood as a specific method of scientific inquiry in pedagogy and reflected in the works of various scholars. The study further develops the concept of readiness formation and highlights the importance of feedback in IT specialists’ professional foreign-language written communication. Furthermore, it substantiates the selection of forms, methods and means aimed at effectively developing IT specialists’ readiness for such communication.مراجع
