Постановка задачи. Научно-методологической основой современной концепции высшего образования выступает синергетическое единство классических и современных психолого-педагогических подходов. Современное высшее образование ориентировано на приобщение молодого человека к фундаментальным знаниям, на формирование практических умений в будущей профессиональной деятельности и подготовку его к обучению на протяжении всей жизни. Однако современное образование мало ориентировано на жизненное и профессиональное самоопределение студента. Выводы. Комплексное использование в учебном процессе личностно-ориентированных технологий позволяет стимулировать развитие личностного потенциала, умственную деятельность, «запускает» развитие познавательных процессов, способствует формированию компетенций, необходимых будущему учителю иностранного языка. Личностно-ориентированное иноязычное обучение в вузе будет способствовать снятию страха будущего учителя перед школой, перед современными детьми и будет способствовать безболезненному вхождению молодого учителя иностранного языка в профессиональную деятельность и профессиональное сообщество. The scientific and methodological basis of the modern concept of higher education is the synergetic unity of classical and modern psychological and pedagogical approaches. Modern higher education is focused on introducing a young person to fundamental knowledge, on forming practical skills in future professional activities and preparing them for lifelong learning. However, modern education is not focused on the life and professional self-determination of the student. The integrated use of personal-oriented technologies in the educational process in the process of teaching a foreign language stimulates personal and intellectual activity, develops cognitive processes, and contributes to the formation of competencies that a future foreign language teacher should possess. Personal-oriented foreign language education at the University will help to remove the fear of the future teacher before school, before modern children and will contribute to the painless entry of a young foreign language teacher into the professional activity and professional community.

Effective Teaching And Learning

Becoming a foreign language teacher involves meeting a range of requirements which have mainly been specified in the Decree of the Minister for Science and Higher Education issued on January 17th, 2012, concerning the standards that have to be complied with in teacher education. Education of this kind is still most frequently offered in the course of BA or MA programs in foreign languages, with the crucial caveat that, primarily as a result of decreasing demand for foreign language teachers, this component has been eliminated in many institutions of higher education or students are required to pay for an additional module providing such training. It is assumed that on completion of a BA or MA program as well as obtaining credits for the required courses focusing on pedagogy, a student will have the requisite qualifications to teach a particular foreign language at appropriate educational levels. This implies that, by this time, he or she should have acquired the necessary knowledge, skills and competences, both in the foreign language and in psychological and pedagogical issues, which can ensure effective teaching and learning. The paper aims to subject such assumptions to critical scrutiny, demonstrate that they blatantly fail to take into account the real situation in Polish education, as well as offer some tentative proposals that could enhance the quality of foreign language teacher training in our country.

More than any other profession, the teaching of foreign languages requires professionals with a special set of qualities. The article deals with the problem of the professional image of a foreign language teacher in the context of globalization processes in the field of higher education. The conditions in which didactics of languages and cultures fit into modern phenomena of globalization and valorization of universality are characterized. The situation with the teaching of foreign languages in universities of both Ukraine and the world is studied. The role and professional image of a foreign language teacher are analyzed. For this purpose, research was carried out by questioning the students. The results of the survey became the object of statistical analysis (quantitative method) and analysis of open responses and arguments (qualitative method). An attempt to find out methodological tactics for improving the foreign languages teaching in a globalizing environment is made. In the conditions of globalization of all spheres of public life, modern realities of the system of higher education change faster than ever before. The problem of teaching foreign languages as well as the role and image of a foreign language teacher is not the most acute. The ever-changing context of globalization and valorisation of universality dictates new demands and challenges. Mobility of students in the world, easy access to authentic sources and communication with native speakers through the Internet, the availability of various programs for the independent study of foreign languages helps students to cease to perceive the teacher as the only guarantor of the rules and source of knowledge. This makes foreign language teachers look for new methods and approaches to motivate students on the one hand and, on the other hand, not to lose their positions in the field of teaching foreign languages and in the labor market. Today teachers of foreign languages should be not only experts in technologies, but first of all - experts in mental habits.
