Competent professional training is a social demand for Cuban higher education. It requires a good command of the English language at a basic level, A2 or higher, according to the Common European Framework for Languages, as graduation requirement. At present, there are certain limitations in the communicative competence development of mining engineering major students of the University of Moa, Dr. Antonio Núñez Jiménez, to meet this requirement. For this purpose, the objective of this paper is to present some communicative tasks to facilitate the communicative competence development of mining field students. Different methods were used from the theoretical level, such as: historical-logical, analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction; of the empirical level: documentary information analysis, survey, interview, and class observation; also, mathematical and statics methods. With tasks implementation, it contributes to the English language didactics and the teaching-learning process improvement, enabling profession-related oral and written communication.

Keywords : communicative competence; English language; communicative tasks.
