Abstract: The successful development and strengthening of Ukraine’s international and intercultural relations with other states leading to the global expansion of social and economic integration requires future International Relations specialists to communicate professionally in foreign language. In this context, there is a need to take new approach to foreign language teaching in institutions of higher education.

The elearning course structure for students of the first year in specialty 055 «International relations, public communications and regional studios» based on the MOODLE 3 platform has been described. The results of the experiment at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine demonstrate that using the MOODLE platform forms and improves the future International Relations specialists’ foreign language communicative competence and ensures the main educational process requirements (openness, accessibility, interactivity, and instrumentality) have positive effects for both teachers and students.
