The article focuses on a theoretical overview of time phenomenon in Internet communications.
Advanced technologies and virtual interactions make interaction and communicative competence
priories in Internet communications. Time is seen as both a biological and a social phenomenon and
the notion of time competence embraces the ability to establish and maintain social contacts within
the indicated timeline and capability to extend and restrict the timeframe of communications.
Based on a theoretical analysis of reflection and regulation of communicative activity in Internet
communications the authors have devised a training programme “Enhancement of time competence
in Internet communications”. This five module programme is aimed to university and high school
students. The article also presents the results of implementing this programme.
