Annotation: The article is devoted to the study of the methodological potential of foreign-language conversation clubs in higher educational institutions. The methodological potential of a foreign-language conversation club is consid- ered as a set of possibilities of this tool to achieve the best results in learning a foreign language. In the course of the research, the structure of the tasks of the conversation club and the competencies that are necessary for the teacher in charge of the club’s work are highlighted. It is noted that in addition to the practical aspect, an important task of the conversation club is to create motivation to better master a foreign language and remove the language barrier. At the structural level, the methodological potential of a foreign-language conversation club is revealed in speech activity and the forming of the necessary linguistic and communicative skills of the participants. An empirical study was conducted on the basis of the “Speak Up!” conversation club of Perm State Humanitarian Pedagogical University. Various forms of meetings are presented, during which students had the opportunity to develop communication skills, speaking, listening, reading and writing skills and also improve lexical, grammatical and pronunciation skills. A reflection of the students’ participation in the work of the “Speak Up!” conversation club was carried out, on the basis of which the directions for improving this method of teaching were determined.
