In the context of current socio-cultural trends in our country and in the world, the interactive approach substantiates the process of interpersonal communication as a value and as the goal of educational activities. As a result, the educational result of interactive learning involves the personal actualization of the student with the involvement of his intellectual, creative and communicative resources. The established didactic goal is achieved through the study, comprehension, practical development of the content of the educational material and the acquisition of communication skills by students. The authors present the results of a semantic analysis of the correlation between the concepts of “communication” and “interaction”.
