The paper considers Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) as one of the approaches to achieve the purpose of learning foreign languages, represented in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages adopted by the Council of Europe in 2001. To acquire a language means not merely to obtain communication skills in one, two or even three languages, studied separately, but “to develop a linguistic repertoire in which all language skills are present,” as mentioned in the European Recommendations on Language Education. People who possess even little knowledge can achieve a certain level of communication proficiency using all their linguistic “tools”, experimenting with alternative forms of expression in different languages and dialects, using paralinguistic means (mimics, gestures, facial expressions, etc.) and radically simplifying their use of language [1; P. 19]. Researchers in Finland, whose success in the education system is recognized worldwide, are searching for methods and approaches to achieve this purpose of foreign language education. One of their attempts is Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). The paper reveals: the history and the origins of CLIL. According to C. Nieminen it includes the method of immersion, created and widely used in Canada. This research also outlines the advantages and factors limiting the usage of CLIL, as well as the prospects for further implementation of this approach to the study of foreign languages in different countries. In Ukraine this training method has not yet become widely applied, only some cases of CLIL implementation take place in specialized schools and in higher education institutions at foreign language departments. Therefore, according to national scholars Ukraine focuses on improving the level of foreign language proficiency, profound research and implementation of the CLIL methodology in schools and higher education institutions all over the country.

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.

The article analyzes the problem associated with the quality improvement of professional training of foreign language teachers in the conditions of digitalization of Language Education. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to train competitive specialists in the field of intercultural contacts who are fluent in their profession at the level of international standards. The quality and level of foreign language training in higher education are determined by the teaching staff, who are the carriers of the ideology of updating language education. Today, the digitalization of language education has brought the foreign language training of students to a qualitatively new level, which allows not only to raise the culture of teaching foreign languages, but also to ensure the development and social adaptation of the student, and contributes to the formation of an appropriate environment for social and personal development. The quality improvement of foreign language training in higher education presupposes both the widespread use of digital teaching technologies and the mandatory consideration of the general patterns of the personality formation and individual characteristics of students, as well as the development of each student’s abilities and interests. The formation of creative thinking, flexibility, initiative and versatility, the ability to quickly respond to changes, as well as creative search in solving professional problems are especially relevant in the education and training of foreign language teachers. The article examines significant innovative trends in the system of higher education, which make it possible to train a competitive specialist who becomes the main indicator of the quality of university education.

Among the main tasks of higher education defined by the National Doctrine for the Development of Education of Ukraine in the 21st century are the following: to form the necessary intellectual and moral basis necessary for future professional activities in the fields of education, science, culture and to form the qualities necessary for further professional development. Such qualities include global thinking; professional values and morals; cultural competence; functional literacy and professional universality; culture of communication; ability to apply knowledge in professional situations; responsibility, the culture of group interaction, social and professional mobility, ability to study for a lifetime, foreign language and sociocultural competence in a foreign language among students of humanities. Now foreign-language education in Ukraine is being reformed taking into account the achievements of European countries by such documents of the Council of Europe as: “Bilingual education: the main strategic tasks”, “All-European competencies in foreign language proficiency: study, teaching, evaluation”, “European language portfolio”, “Aligning language exams with All-European recommendations on language education”, “Strategic development program for Multilingual Europe 2020”, “Recommendations on pluralistic approaches to languages and cultures”, requirements for Euro-exams, etc. The ideas of the language policy of the Council of Europe are increasingly being implemented in our country: the number of languages is increasing; there is an increasing number of people who speak at least one foreign language; several foreign languages were started in secondary schools; the number of academic hours for learning a foreign language is increasing in universities; in some institutions of higher education, foreign languages are considered the second working language.

The article presents a theoretical generalization of the researches on the problem of foreign language training of student youth in the European Union. Today in the institutions of higher education of Ukraine there is a tendency to intensify the foreign language training of each applicant for higher education. Among the many aspects in the content of education, foreign language training of higher education in Ukraine focuses on itself special attention. At the same time, it was found out that currently in Ukraine there is a complex multi-level contradiction of the following nature: The European Union prepares graduates of schools that speak a foreign language at the B2 level, and Ukrainian pedagogical higher education institutions graduate students who do not speak a foreign language at the B2 level; Ukrainian schools require from students B2 level which their teachers do not have, and therefore, in a sense, Ukrainian students may be more competent than their teachers, which is unacceptable. The analysis of foreign language training of student youth in the European Union allowed the authors to identify the achievements and features of foreign language training of student youth in some European countries in order to outline the required by the domestic education system trends in foreign language training at higher education institutions. The authors of the article analyzed the professional training of future foreign language teachers in such European countries: Germany, Poland, Slovakia, France, Italy. It was found out that such training is thoroughly researched by Ukrainian comparative scientists and is gradually introduced into the domestic system of higher education.But taking into account such tasks, problems and challenges facing Europe and Ukraine in the field of foreign language education, as well as permanent forms of cooperation within the Bologna Process, the prospects for further research the authors see in a deeper study of the process of reforming foreign language education, which brings obvious benefits to Ukrainian higher education.

Introduction. The development of information technologies, the need to move to blended or distance learning and digitalization of education have caused considerable increasing of online communication and interaction between students and teachers of higher education institutions recently. The introduction of netiquette in the educational process of a modern higher education institution in general and in the practice of learning foreign languages in particular becomes more and more relevant. Many educators, including foreign language teachers, continue to use online tools of communication that have proven to be effective in blended or distance learning format. One of such tools for foreign language teachers is found to be mobile applications for instant messaging, or messengers. The purpose of the paper is to summarize the experience gained in the introduction of netiquette and the use of messengers in the context of teaching foreign languages in higher education institutions of Ukraine. Learning the netiquette and its introduction into educational process in this context is considered as one of the ways to avoid violations and use modern materials when teaching foreign languages. The following research methods as a survey, method of analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature and survey results are used. Results. The approaches of scientists to the culture of communication of participants in the educational process, interpreting the concept of "netiquette", the use of messengers in higher education and teaching of foreign languages in particular are covered. The results of the survey dedicated to the use of messengers in the educational process in which seventy two foreign language teachers from thirteen institutions of higher education of Ukraine took part are analyzed. Using messengers in the educational process was found to be quite common in the practice of teaching foreign languages both in terms of classroom management and as a learning tool. Despite the popularity, convenience and certain advantages of using messengers, there are some negative situations that can be considered as violations of netiquette. The reasons for students' violations may be lack of knowledge about netiquette rules, insufficient level of development of digital competence and practice of online communication in the educational environment. The introduction of netiquette guidelines at the beginning of a foreign language course can help teachers prevent violations. However, topics related to netiquette in the foreign language course in domestic higher education institutions are not sufficiently studied. Originality. The scientific originality of the research results is based on the fact that learning and introduction of netiquette has not been considered in the context of teaching foreign language yet. Despite netiquette is a part of digital competence, it has not received sufficient coverage in methodology of teaching foreign languages. Conclusion. The research has shown that the study of netiquette rules in a foreign language course can contribute to development of students' digital competence on the basis of modern language material. The development and establishment of netiquette guidelines to prevent its violations is appropriate in terms of methods of organizing the educational process in foreign languages, taking into account the increase of its online part in modern conditions.
