Speaking about linguistic achievements it should be mentioned that Lancaster University’s linguistic centre, spanning four generations of researchers, has been recently awarded The Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education. It has been revealed that degree programmes at Lancaster University are flexible and provide students with the opportunity to master a wide range of subject areas to complement their main specialism as well as numerous optional modules selected to satisfy various education needs and inclinations of students. Teaching approach at the University is research-driven and research stimulated, that is why much curriculum time is dedicated to carrying out research projects. Students are significantly motivated towards self-study as most of study time (81–89 %) is dedicated to independent learning. Lectures, seminars and similar are given only 11–19 %.

Тhis study was conducted to determine, outline the main characteristics of improvement of psychological-pedagogical basis of the concepts of «profile-oriented school», «profile-oriented school in foreign languages» at secondary pedagogical educational institutions and institutions of higher education. The author investigated, analyzed the leading role and conceptual impact of the profile-oriented direction of education in the training of future highly qualified professionals in the field of pedagogical education of foreign language. It was noted that profile teaching of a foreign language is a purposeful training of students for further educational and / or professional activities related to the use of a foreign language as an object of future (professional) activity or as a means of professional communication. Today, school profiling is one of the important directions of modernization of Ukrainian general education system. The author analyzed the following principles of specialized education in a specialized school of a foreign language, which, according to the author, play the greatest role: the principle of social balance; the principle of continuity and continuity; the principle of flexibility, the principle of variability; the principle of diagnostic and prognostic feasibility, the principle of differentiation; the principle of individualization. The model of profile-oriented studying in foreign language has not yet been implemented in the practice of the school in full. Teachers work to create a logistical, methodological and didactic base of the model. Work plans of circles, mini-textbooks, electronic manuals, other materials are developed. Therefore, the integration of profile – oriented studying will maximize the continuous studying of both students and teachers and achieve high performance. We understand that our observation is only part of the research program we have created for this issue. Further studies we see in the analysis of the practical-methodical system of profile-oriented studying of future teacher of foreign languages.
