Development of sustainable society is generated via innovation. Innovation is promoted by languaging in tertiary language education. The paradigm shift from what students can do with the language (Rimšāne, 2010, 9) to why students use the language requires integration of components of languaging to be considered in the tertiary language processes and environments. The aim of the present research is to analyse integration of components of languaging into tertiary language education for the enhancement of students’ communicative competence. The present research involves analysis of the key concepts “language education”, “language”, “languaging”, “social interaction”, “cognitive activity” and “efficiency”. The empirical study is aimed at examining efficiency of English for Academic Purposes studies based on the integration of components of languaging for the enhancement of students’ communicative competence by means of qualitative evaluation research. The present empirical study was carried out in the English for Academic Purposes course within Baltic Summer School Technical Informatics and Information Technology held at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Vilnius, Lithuania, July 20-August 4, 2013. The findings of the research allow drawing the conclusions that English for Academic Purposes studies based on the integration of components of languaging for the enhancement of student engineers’ communicative competence are efficient. Directions of further research are proposed as well.
