The essence of the reflective component is the future specialist'sunderstanding of the mechanisms of his own professional activity, social and individual way of being. Thecomponent involves evaluating own actions in the process of purposeful professional self-development, whichmakes it possible to identify the components of success or to identify the reasons for the failure of own activities.The ability to consciously control the results of own activity, the level of own development, the dynamics of personal growth is the realization of this component. The reflective component reflects the future specialist'sthorough awareness of the importance of acquiring knowledge, skills and professional foreign languagecommunication skills for effective professional activity; awareness of the importance of personal and professionalself-determination, self-regulation and self-evaluation of the results of own actions. The purpose of the reflectivecomponent is to stimulate self-analysis and self-improvement in the process of developing professional foreignlanguage communication. This component allows students to analyze and reflect on the usage of a foreignlanguage in a professional context, helping them improve their professional communication skills. The studyof professional foreign language communication can be supplemented with a reflective component that allowsfuture specialists to independently analyze their own knowledge, skills and abilities. The reflective componentcan include the analysis of problematic situations and contribute to the search for ways to improve communicationskills in the workplace. The use of the reflexive component is based on such indicators as the presence of emotionaland volitional stability, the ability to overcome psychological barriers in communication, awareness of personalresponsibility. An active reflexive position is a necessary condition for the self-development of a specialist, and itsabsence almost completely excludes the possibility of his personal and professional self-development.

Ultimately, reflection improves the quality of communication,fostering deeper understanding and more effective interactions among crew members. Reflective skills can bedeveloped and adjusted in class or during extracurricular activities.
