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.

This study focuses on the peculiarities that training courses mediated by technologies need to feature to positively affect the motivation and the building of metacognitive and didactic competences in teachers of foreign languages. What is especially highlighted is the fact that the advantages of these courses are closely related to the variables internal to the virtual environments that put the participants in control of their own learning process. With this in mind, two areas are taken into consideration, the constructive-interactional approach regarded as a model to design virtual learning environments on the one hand, and on the other the characteristics of e-learning tools and web-based tasks that help teachers acquire and refine metacognitive strategies, critical thinking and digital practices useful for their professional development.

Theoretical Dimension

In the training of future foreign language teachers discourse appears mainly in its theoretical dimension in relation to text discourse connected with teaching various skills. Discourse, however, might be also useful in the context of Teaching Practice. On the one hand, the analysis of classroom discourse could be used in deeper formative evaluation of the trainee. Analysis of this evaluational dialogue could support not only the growth of teaching strategies but could also significantly contribute to the formation of a reflective attitude of the future teacher.In this paper I present an analysis of a feedback session which refers to a lesson conducted by a teacher trainee form Bydgoszcz Teacher Training College of Foreign Languages and answer the question how useful this element can be in the creation of the reflective practitioner’s attitude.

The development years of sovereign Kazakhstan show that polylingualism in the society not only infringes on the rights and dignity of the Kazakh language but also creates necessary conditions for its development and progress. According to the state program for language development, three languages' priority has been approved: Kazakh, Russian, and English. In addition to Kazakh as the State language and Russian as the language of inter-ethnic communication, English is an essential means of communication. The most important strategic task of Education in Kazakhstan is, on the one hand, to preserve the best Kazakh educational traditions and, on the other hand, to provide school leavers with international qualifications and develop their linguistic consciousness, based on mastering the State, native and foreign languages. Meanwhile, as specified in the concept of language policy of RK, the main difficulty in further realization of language policy in Kazakhstan is "creation of optimum language space of the state". On the other hand, we are talking about a professional gap in specialists' training, studying Russian and Kazakh language. Our study used the following methods: UNT 2015-2019, a survey of 1st-year students of ARGU named after K. Zhubanov. The results of the study can be used to develop a methodological complex for training foreign language teachers.

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.

The article defines the essential characteristics and structure of facilitative skills of future foreign language teachers. In modern science, there is a large number of effective approaches to teaching foreign languages, but the communicative one can be considered as the most relevant. It has been proven that successful acquisition of foreign languages through the communicative approach requires the use of modern educational technologies and facilitative skills by future foreign language teachers. The activity of a facilitator, which is successfully used in psychology, adapted and applied in the educational process, in particular in the process of teaching a foreign language, has been considered. It has been determined that the main task of a future foreign language teacher-facilitator is to convey the idea of successful language learning, individual information retrieval and personal changes that directly affect the learning process. It has been proven that facilitation of the process of learning a foreign language promotes creative assimilation of information, the formation of critical thinking and cooperation with students. In order to make facilitation successful, a foreign language teacher must have such skills as providing support for students, understanding their inner world, interaction and assistance in learning a foreign language, as well as be friendly, create the atmosphere conducive to self-education and self-expression.
