The article analyzes modern methods of interactive teaching of humanities in higher education institutions. A characteristic feature of interactive learning is the constant, active interaction of all participants in the educational process (teacher - student, teacher - students, students - students). It focuses on the fact that student-centered learning requires teachers to use the latest methods, providing the maximum connection of theoretical information with its practical application, the development of professional skills by directly solving cases and problematic situations. Characteristic of modern higher education is the development of critical thinking of students using such methods as "Fish bone", Bloom's daisy, Bloom's cube, Brainstorming, six hats of de Bono thinking and more. Interactive learning is based on a personal-activity approach that focuses on the use of both situational and nonsituational learning methods. Extremely important for professional activity and team work is the ability to express their own ideas and prove their viability. For this purpose, teachers of higher education institutions use such methods as debate, aquarium, PRES method, discussions, "Choose/change position", etc. The creative component of education is an integral part of professional development. With this in mind, the article analyzes such forms of student work as writing essays, syncveins, diamonds, portfolios, etc. Interactive learning methods motivate participants in the learning process to learn, stimulate their independent thinking and decision-making, develop imagination and cognitive interest. These methods can create an educational environment in which theory and practice are acquired simultaneously, contributing to critical and logical thinking, the formation of personality.

Formation of pedagogical competences of the teacher of the higher school will allow the future specialists professional activity in the institutions of higher education. The article reveals the essence of didactic competence and peculiarities of its formation in higher education students in the current conditions of organizing the initial process. The competency approach should permeate all aspects of student training. Therefore, a special (didactic) competence should be included in the list of the graduates' learning outcomes. The didactic competence is the ability to apply knowledge of psychology and pedagogy (didactics) in the educational process of higher education institutions. In the orientation of the educational and professional program of the master of non-pedagogical specialties it is necessary to enter competencies that allow him to engage in teaching activities. General competences add to the ability to carry out pedagogical activities using innovative educational technologies, and special competences add to the ability to organize the educational process and carry out scientific research in order to solve topical problems of the theory, methodology, organization and practice of higher education students. One of the most important compulsory (normative) disciplines that enable the future specialist to teach special and professional disciplines in higher education institutions should be "Didactic of Higher Education". This is the main feature of forming didactic competence in higher education institutions. But the competent approach in higher education does not come down to a separate discipline, but because the phenomenon of integral and dynamic develops in the process of formal, non-formal and informal education and is in constant development and self-development. All stages of preparation of the master of non-pedagogical specialties for teaching activity should be directed on achievement of the main purpose of the educational process — formation of pedagogical competences of applicants of higher education.

As the title implies, a scientific paper reveals the issue of an efficiency of professional activity of foreign language teachers in higher education institutions in the context of SIOP model. The problem of this study is that in spite of the stressed importance of teaching skills, student teachers lack many of the English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching skills which may have a negative impact on their teaching performance that in turn affects their teaching self-efficacy. The methods of applying SIOP model and the effect of using SIOP model on developing EFL student teachers’ teaching skills are studied. It is emphasized that among the multiple factors that affect students’ achievement is teacher effectiveness. Thus, the challenge remains to improve and promote the effectiveness of teachers in an effort to increase students’ academic achievement. The positive and negative aspects of the education shift towards SIOP model are identified, the principles of enhancing innovative educational process effectiveness are revealed. It is worth noting that any professional development of foreign language teachers in higher education institutions must address specific knowledge and attitudes that are relevant to teaching foreign language learners. Teachers need to understand basic constructs of the second language development, the nature of language proficiency, the role of the first language and culture in learning, and the demands that mainstream education places on culturally diverse students. There is growing evidence that professional development approaches that are guided by teacher input and that view teacher learning as continual and transformative makes higher education institutions a better place for students and staff. The results indicated that introduction of SIOP model has opened up a number of problems associated with the introduction of such training services. It is stressed that the factors of SIOP model can guide limited English proficient students and suggest some useful strategies for language teachers to handle the students’ difficulties in language comprehension. It should be stressed that the introduction of SIOP model in modern educational process opens up wide horizons and unlimited possibilities for the efficiency of professional activity of foreign language teachers in higher education institutions, which have yet to be studied and mastered by modern pedagogical science.

The article deals with the topical problem of modern professional education – formation of first-year students' motivation for educational and professional activity as a guarantee of successful and high quality preparation of future specialists. The author emphasizes the fact that the use of active teaching methods will help to solve this problem. The article covers a variety of active teaching methods, describes some aspects of their application to enhance the motivation of students of pedagogical specialties in higher education institutions. The author actualizes the problem, first of all, through the analysis of the Law of Ukraine "On Education" in the part of staffing of educational institutions, which guarantees the recipients of education to provide high-quality specialists, capable of achieving high results and providing creative approaches to the organization of the educational process, thus creating innovative education. This social need determines the actualization of the problem of qualitative training of future teachers in the educational process of institutions of higher education, in particular, by reviewing the range of methods of classroom work organization. In the first year of training of future specialists, the methods should be selected in such a way as to promote the development of cognitive interest in the chosen specialty and gradually form the motivation for educational activity, because it is during this very period that a didactic adaptation of a future teacher to conditions of an institution of higher education takes place. In addition, for the future teacher, motivation to study in the first year already has great professional meaning. The author concludes that the review of the achievements of research, which is the subject of active teaching methods, allowed us to highlight the benefits of these methods for the educational process of higher education institutions. In particular, it is necessary to increase the educational motivation of freshmen in pedagogical specialties. In addition, active methods are aimed at restructuring and improving the educational process, as well as training professionals for professional activity. The introduction of active methods in the educational process of higher education institutions will provide opportunities for enhancing the emotional response of freshmen to the process of cognition, intensification of their learning activities, interest in acquiring new knowledge, skills and practical use of them; development of students' creative abilities, speech; forming the ability to substantiate and express their own views, activate thinking and so on. Among the most successful active methods are the following: problematic lecture, "lecture for the two", "press conference", pre-planned mistakes, lectures-consultations, "round table", discussion, "brainstorming", case-study and others. Prospects for further research show empirical understanding of the effectiveness of active teaching methods in the classroom work of higher education institutions.
