The author analyzes the requirements of the Federal state educational standard of higher education in the field of philology. The communicative component is identified as the core professional competency. The leading role of communicative competency in the implementation of the basic requirements of interactive learning technologies in higher education is discussed. The requirements for the selection of disciplines in the structure of «regional university» curricula, which ensure the employability of graduates in regions, are described. In addition, the issues of testing the general (normative) literacy of a philology student, media literacy and media education of modern professional philologists, as well as their knowledge in the field of genre studies and textology are considered. The author relies on documentary sources, reviews of didactic sources and materials of students’ independent work in real and virtual environments. Various practical exercises with different text types are proposed. In describing didactic materials, their use and approaches to their analysis, the author adheres to the principles of evaluating effective methodological support that have been developed in the research laboratory and practice of university rhetoric founded by prof.
