Abstract
The article presents the study of the influence of network communication on the development of communicative competence in the native language of schoolchildren in the Ukrainian social network environment. It has been verified statistically that the use of English is quite common in the everyday discourse of the higher grade students (ninth through eleventh grades), with the number of English words integrated in their communication in Ukrainian rising with the age of the students. The ways of such integration (anglicism adaptation mechanisms) have been defined (neoderivatives, neoborrowings, neosemanticisms) based on the analysis of Telegram chats of students of the ninth, tenth and eleventh grades.
It has also been proved that students do not tend to apply a conscious approach to the use of English words, and thus, when informed of the necessity to preserve the purity of their mother tongue, resume to the choice of Ukrainian words avoiding unnecessary use of English. Specific pedagogical procedures help the students be aware of their communicative competence development in relation to the use of foreign words in their social network interactions.
