The article presents civic consciousness as a crucial component of civic education and the collaboration of a democratic state and civil society. The approaches to the definition of civic consciousness are analyzed. The forms and criteria of the formation of civic consciousness in the process of development of a democratic society are determined. A change of paradigm in scientific image about civic consciousness in various historical and political systems is demonstrated. The problem of civic consciousness forming as a unique quality of the postmodern era is part of the systemically important tasks of Ukrainian statesmanship. Its solution allows realizing the teleological maxim «free man - developed civil society – powerful state». The article states that one of the main goals of national education is to educate competent citizens of a law-governed democratic state, capable of political socialization, respect for rights and freedoms, fulfill the duties of a citizen, and have a civic identity based on national values. The phenomenon of civic consciousness and «civic» categories are components of civil society, operated in political participation (active or passive), and are a problematic area of principles for regulating political relations of society, the individual and the state. Civic consciousness indicates the level of development of democratic consciousness, acceptance by citizens of democratic values, experience of democratic relations, which determines the norms of social and legal collaboration of governmental authorities with civil society institutions and individuals. It is defined as a special property of a socially active, self-sufficient personality, which has a determination by the content of historical, civilizational and socio-cultural development. The process of acquiring civic qualities is considered in the context of a sociocultural context, when the demonstration of individual behavior is shown as a collaboration of subjective and objective factors. It is noted that the ontological existence of citizenship requires the development of qualities associated with political functions, that is, the ability to be included in the system of relations about power, the ability to collaborate with others for the sake of common goals, the ability to subject to personal interests to common.

the article deals with the directions in the methodology of teaching foreign language to students of secondary schools and cadets and students of educational organizations of the Ministry of internal Affairs. The issue of the General educational role of teaching foreign languages is discussed. Attention is paid to the discussion of the point of view of some Methodists about the place and role of the theoretical and descriptive aspect of teaching. Proponents of this theory believe that this aspect is the essence of the General educational function of language teaching, and sometimes argue that it should be considered as the main content of learning and its main purpose. In the existing methodological concepts, two points deserve the sharpest criticism: the wrong understanding of the General educational meaning of foreign languages and the resulting erroneous definition of the content and essence of teaching. Ready-made signs of a language, its systems of elements and structures can and should be studied separately as the sum of phenomena and facts of language in the corresponding theoretical courses; but specific types of communicative activity are always mastered, where the "lexical", "grammatical" and "phonetic" aspects appear in an indissoluble organic unity, because not only in any act of language communication, but also in any sign of a sound language, there are both "vocabulary", "grammar", and "phonetics". From the General purpose of teaching a foreign language at school, it follows that it cannot be reduced to the development of any one type of communication activity (for example, reading or speaking), since this would unacceptably narrow the practical value of learning; the school should lay the Foundation for using all four main types: speaking, listening, reading to oneself and writing.

Background: New conditions of multilingualism and multiculturalism of the European society form new demands on the content and implementation of the educational process, in particular in the training of philology teachers, linguists, translators. The European Union has set an ambitious goal of forming a young generation of communicative competence in two foreign languages. To achieve this goal we should cultivate a tolerant attitude to social and cultural specificity of different ethnic com­munities for their harmonious coexistence in the context of globalization, and to teach young people to appreciate the cultural heritage of Europe and the world. Successful implementation of this ambitious goal, among others, is not possible without the high motivation of those who receive education in philology and linguistics, because the quality of any human activity, accord­ing to psychologists and teachers primarily depends on the needs and motivations of persons. Purpose: The purpose of the article includes the following issues: to highlight the role and place of self-sufficient linguistic puzzles as an effective tool to enhance the inner motivation of secondary language identity of the individual, to ensure the successful implementation of objectives to address challenges in education and training in the fields of language acquisition, general and applied linguistics, human and computer-aided translation; to present puzzles with different content and structure, which can be used in the educational process, with possible variants of their solution and a short description of their didactic potential. Results: Formation of the secondary language identity outside the native-speakers environment requires additional gen­eral educational motives, since in this case the speaker can successfully communicate in his native language, resorting to the foreign language only formally. Self-sufficient linguistic tasks contributing to the formation of secondary language identity, aside from being a fun intellectual challenge, expose the student to the different kinds of reasoning required when encountering a new phenomenon in a language. They develop metalinguistic reasoning and foster analytical skills that are relevant for various careers. Discussion: Self-sufficient linguistic tasks, contributing to the formation of secondary language identity, may interest teachers of the Ukrainian language, foreign languages, Ukrainian as a foreign language and may be introduced in order to di­versify the educational process, to increase motivation, to develop logical thinking and analytical abilities in teaching linguistic disciplines, at different stages of language learning, and also may be more widely used in the training of specialists in the field of computer science and applied linguistics.

The problem of the content of linguistic-and-methodological training is vital in the context of a competence-based approach. The purpose of the given study is to test the ways of effective linguistic-and-methodological competence development in the course of professional training of prospective foreign language teachers at content level. The methods of research involve theoretical methods of pedagogical research (analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, induction and deduction, abstraction and concretization) as well as practical methods, such as diagnostics: interviews (oral interviews, conversations), questionnaires and testing. The article presents the definition of linguistic and methodological competence, traces its connection with the competence-based approach in education. Three structural components of linguistic and methodological competence (linguistic-subject, didactic-methodical and scientific-research) are distinguished, and the competencies that are a part of each of them are given. A detailed analysis of the content of academic disciplines is presented, and the disciplines that promote the development of linguistic and methodological competence of prospective foreign language teachers, both from the cycle of humanities and general training, are singled out. The main ways of improvement and enrichment of the content of disciplines from the cycle of humanities Master’s program focused on the development of linguistic and methodological competence (due to the topics of specific disciplines or additionally introduced special courses) are outlined.

AbstractThe article analyzes the experience of patriotic education and civic consciousness of youth in the United States. The author shares his experience of training under the programme “Civic consciousness development of youth in the context of educational reforms” of the US Agency for International Development (USAID).It has been found that the main course of civic education syllabus in the USA is the formation of political culture, legal awareness, the culture of interethnic relations, work motivation, awareness of moral values, the understanding of freedom, the culture of interethnic relations, the development of work motivation, fostering in children respect for work and realization of its role in people’s life. Civic education in US schools is performed in four ways: as a school subject; as a form of interdisciplinary activities in education; as a form of extra-curricula activities; as a way of school life which develops democratic behaviour.The article analyzes the role of public organizations in civic education of youth and defines the lines of their activities as well as a problem of low efficiency of civic education in Ukraine caused by the following reasons: conventional perceptions that civic education does not require special attention; the lack of concurrency in civic education curriculum implementation; the lack of consistency in training and professional development of civic education teachers, in sharing positive experience, coordination of activities and monitoring.

Bilingualism And Multilingualism

Recently the concept of multilingualism has become a defining approach to the problem of language learning. Multilingualism occurs as an individual's language experience, expands culturally from the language used in the family to the language used in society, and then to the acquisition of languages of other peoples. The individual does not “keep” these languages and cultures separate from each other, but forms a communicative competence based on all knowledge and all language experience, where languages are interconnected and interact with one another. One of the most important approaches to both bilingual and multilingual education is, in our opinion, the study of psycholinguistic and neuro-linguistic mechanisms of bilingualism and multilingualism formation. The peculiarity of the language situation of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the presence of bilingualism, which occured in the country as a natural process in a multinational state. However each region of the country has its own specifics in terms of language. In this regard, there is a need for a regional approach to the study of the language situation in the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is worth noting that the definition of the role and place of Russian language in teaching a foreign language in the context of multilingualism is insufficiently studied. Russian language is not only a universal means of communication generally accepted in the Republic of Kazakhstan, but also the main means of knowledge of sciences and support in learning a foreign language. Linguistic situation of foreign language teaching in multilingual environment in many respects differs from the linguistic situation of learning a foreign language in a monolingual audience.

The purpose of the paper is to identify linguistic abilities to master foreign languages in students-translators. This research was conducted based on the methods and methodology of observation, comparison, analysis, functional and descriptive methods. In order to solve this problem, the achievements of linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, psycholinguistics, methods of teaching foreign languages were analyzed, as the study of the phenomenon of linguistics ability is based on them. Linguistic ability includes some specific abilities such as foreign language ability, language guessing, language intuition and communication skills. The result is the formation of a linguistic personality, in particular, the bilingual personality of the translator in a dialogue that has the ability and skills to use the language in all its manifestations in different situations of intercultural communication; the ability to understand and assimilate someone else's way of life and behavior in order to break ingrained stereotypes; skills to expand the individual picture of the world by involving in the "language picture of the world" speakers of the studied language. Value/originality. The development of language abilities is possible on the basis of individualization, differentiation of the learning process and increasing motivation for learning a language. It is necessary to clarify that the presence of communication skills, linguistic intuition and ability to languages is absolutely not enough for a full-fledged foreign language communication, and even more so for characterizing a secondary linguistic personality, in fact, its development is the leading goal of teaching a foreign language for translation students. Linguistic giftedness and ability for languages are only a prerequisite for the formation of intercultural competence and the development of a secondary linguistic personality.
