The expansion of the spheres of political, trade, economic and cultural cooperation between Russia and other countries creates real preconditions for intercultural professional communication in all areas of language experts’ activity: teaching, researching, translating, interpreting and speaking for the peers. In these conditions, learning to provide a monologue in different world languages is becoming increasingly important to future linguists. According to the requirements of the new Federal Standard for Higher Professional Education, a linguist must be able to perform intercultural communication in various professional fields, conduct business negotiations, be an active participant in conferences, workshops and roundtable discussions using several working languages and search for topical information to improve his/her professional skills in the field of intercultural communication. Thus, the standard reflects the strategy of modern foreign-language education aimed to form the cultural and linguistic personality of the language expert who has reached a high level of the foreign-language professional communicative competence, which manifests itself in speech culture, an open-minded attitude to unfamiliar traditions and ways of life, along with the abilities for monologue and international professional communication. High-quality monologic speech is a personally and professionally significant skill, due to which specialists do not have difficulties with business conversations, reports, public messages and presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint and freely participate in discussing the course and prospects of joint activities. Mastering such skills begins at the very beginning of learning a foreign language in a higher educational institution to be able to work with complicated scientific texts and prepare creative monologues as a postgraduate student.

The essence of continuity as a didactic principle is clarified and its components have been determined.

The importance of adhering to this principle for optimizing the educational process at all levels and stages of learning is emphasized. The importance of adhering to the principle of continuity in the transition from school to university education system is emphasized. It is shown that continuity in foreign language learning covers all components of the learning process and is complex. Some technologies for ensuring the continuity of foreign language learning are proposed, which helps to improve the quality of language training for future professionals. The authors state that the concept of continuity is actively used in the national educational space as a designation of one of the prerequisites for optimizing the study of English at the stage of transition from the school stage to the system of higher education. The essence of continuity as a pedagogical principle is that at each higher stage of education in determining the content of education takes into account everything that was learned at earlier stages. It is stated that one of the technologies to ensure the implementation of the principle of continuity directly in the educational process is the use of a leveling course, the possibilities of which to improve the knowledge of freshmen and eliminate the possible gap between the starting level of English and the requirements of the university program were demonstrated.

It is noted that in higher professional education there is a global trend of the growing number of students combining the process of studying at the University with employment in the workplace in order to form a basis for their future professional and specialized career. Modern researches of the existing educational standards reveal the fact that there are practically no models meeting the needs of a new perspective on the organization of professionally-oriented training. It is suggested that the topological description on the basis of the graph theory, namely the cognitive model which has already been tested in the study of such problems in education should be used as a theoretical and methodological basis of the study. The cognitive model allows to involve the available model descriptions of educational processes, namely, structural-dynamic descriptions interpreted in this case as logical-semantic and causal. A multi-circuit cognitive model of professionally-oriented education based on the integration of competencies is proposed. The authors propose a multi-circuit cognitive model of professionally-oriented education based on the integration of competencies. The Central place in the model is given to the target chain of factors: Integration of competences → Professional competences → Educational and production process. This model helps transmit and synchronize signals across all model contours, continuously initialize the target model functioning, and analyze the achieved level of professional competencies in the integration process. It is on this axis that all four contours of the model are strung, which eliminates the loss of the target determination of the structure. The model implements the principle of professional orientation of education. Thus it is possible to balance the advantages of the educational competences received as a result of educational process, as well as the peculiarities of the production competences generated in manufacturing by means of their integration. Professional competencies in the model do not dominate, but rather are the result of continuous integration of both educational and industrial competencies.

The introduction of interactive educational technologies into university practice is an urgent task, the solution of which must be considered as a necessary and sufficient condition for improving the quality of training in the pedagogical education system of the Russian Federation. Interest in this problem is due to the often unjustified use of modern software and hardware in the educational process, which results in partial or complete loss of students’ skills in verbal communication, socio-communicative control, and adequate self-esteem. We aim to form a new approach to the development of professional competencies of future teachers, which is based on the principles of consistency, providing high-quality pedagogical education. The methods of analysis of the problems of formation, development and improvement of professional competences of students of pedagogical universities are used; systematization of factual and empirical data on the problem of introducing innovations into pedagogical practice. Generalization of the experience of using interactive educational technologies in the system of training specialists with higher professional education confirms the feasibility and necessity of introducing innovations into university pedagogical practice. Developed recommendations for the formation of tools for improving the professional competencies of future teachers, can be recommended for use in order to expand the framework of managing the educational process at the university.
