Annotation: The active digitalization of almost all spheres of modern society has also affected education, which inevitably led to the abandonment of traditional teaching methods in favor of interactive ones aimed not at acquiring knowledge but at turning it into competencies, practical skills, and abilities. To a large extent, the given process was expedited by the change in the teacher’s role, from the classical translator of the knowledge from the textbook to the facilitator, who allows students to concentrate on learning goals and supporting positive motivation in their achievement. One of the most effective methods of interactive learning is the hexagon method, first described by the English history teacher Russell Tarr at the end of the 20th century. However, an analysis of the literature on the problem showed that despite the obvious linguodidactic potential of this method, it is practically not used in higher education. Our study aims to fill the existing gap and prove that the hexagon method is an effective way to develop speech, lexical, and debating skills of students majoring technical specialties.
