The need for qualitative improvement of knowledge of a foreign language is contradicted by the small number of hours of study load allocated to the study of this school subject grammar. Thus, within the framework of the educational process, it is possible to achieve a level of practical language as quisition through activating the learning process, which is achieved through increasing the motivation of students, on one side and providing them with the opportunity to take part in simulated speach situations with the other. The work proves that a business game has these capabilities.
