Since modern requirements for law specialists’ training postulate English as an imminent part of professional education, there is a need for constant revision of methodological tools aimed at the development of professional communicative competence. Several characteristics of video make it an efficient tool of reconstructing an authentic English environment even in the circumstances of distance learning. Thus the objective of the paper is to determine the role of the educational video didactic reserves in building a professional (legal) English competence. The indicated objective required the review of specialized scientific resources. The article focuses on: defining such notions as “the educational authentic video”, “professional communicative competence”, “learning environment”; representing the criteria of professional authentic films / video selection; investigating the peculiarities of the basic types of authentic educational video; distinguishing the stages in the work on the educational film / video. The paper also discusses judicial video-based assignments targeted at developing legal culture and providing a personalized approach to professional English competence enhancement. The correct selection of video and the usage of adequate guidelines permit to reconstruct a realistic professional environment within a classroom. It will become an extra source for a competitive specialist’s training.
