Summary/Abstract: The investigation of the essentials of ESP as a trend in teaching foreign languages for professional communication has been suggested. The recent data on needs analysis of the Ukrainian students (the educational institutions mainly located in Western Ukraine) have been presented. The necessity to pay attention to the peculiarities of teaching a foreign language to non-linguistic students at higher educational institutions has been substantiated. The approaches to and models of ESP course design have been compared and most efficient ideas have been suggested. On the basis of the research, the aspects have been defined according to which curricula and learning materials should be constructed, according to the defined models of teaching.
