The article discusses a new strategy of professionally-directed (didactic-oriented) foreign language teaching to students of a language pedagogical university (future teachers of a foreign language). The study analyses the components of the teacher’s methodological (linguodidactic) competence, revealing a number of problems concerning their formation in a pedagogical university, as well as showing the dependence of their development on the intensity of their actualisation in the Foreign Language Practice discipline. The article identifies several factors hindering the formation of the linguodidactic competence within foreign language classes. In order to overcome these negative factors, the article offers a new model of teaching foreign languages, described in the formula “from the acquisition of didactic experience to one’s own educative decisions”. The methodology of this model is based on two interrelated methods: contextual teaching and vocation-focused foreign languages teaching, as well as related methods for organizing productive teaching of a foreign language. The model mentioned above assumes a two-stage implementation. At the first stage, analytical work of students is organized. Its aim is to understand and analyse the teaching practice. An important condition is the modelling of basic structural elements and some procedural features of a school lesson while organising university foreign language classes. Particular attention is paid to the implementation of individualised goal-setting, planning and self-assessment (reflection), demonstration of lexis, grammar and phonetics mastering, of active forms and techniques for organising communicative activities, methodological reflection. At the first stage, university students are also offered some methodological tools (for example, goalsetting maps and maps for academic work planning, etc.), which can be used in teaching foreign languages at school. When organising the educational process, much attention is paid to the awareness of methodological facts, phenomena, patterns. Therefore, a new type of exercises (educational-methodological) has been proposed. In addition to an educational task, these exercises contain a methodological task in form of a short comment, an additional question, etc. At the second stage, there is a transition to the organising of a productive methodologically oriented foreign language activity. Three main methods of methodologically oriented teaching are distinguished: modification of authentic (university) materials for different age groups of schoolchildren, conventional “professional test”, and project educational-methodological activity. In conclusion, the main results of the study are summarised.

Modern life requires an active creative person whose formation is possible only if the pedagogical practice of modern methods of education and upbringing is introduced. Therefore, the focus of the present education is not the very educational subjects, but the ways of thinking and activities of the student.This orientation of the modern educational process determines the choice of innovative technologies by the teacher, which is based on preparing a young person for an active position in society, activating educational opportunities, etc. The article substantiates the necessity of using innovative technologies in the practice of teaching in higher education, in particular, the issue of introducing multimedia teaching methods in classes on the Ukrainian language as a foreign language is substantiated. The focus is on the specifics and effectiveness of using such forms of work. The advantages and disadvantages of applying a multimedia presentation during the acquisition of language material have been analyzed. The use of multimedia technologies in classes in the Ukrainian language as a foreign language is driven by the desire to make the level of use of visibility more qualitative, increase the productivity of classes, realize interdisciplinary connections, implement a two-way student-teacher relationship, etc. The multimedia presentation is effective when working with students in different groups and at all stages of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language. It allows to model the conditions of communicative activity, master lexical and grammatical skills, individualize and differentiate learning, increase the amount of language training, increase motivation, promote the development of students' self-esteem, ensure the transfer of linguistic material to other types of speech activity. The article describes the possibilities of using the computer program Power Point in order to teach students the Ukrainian language as a foreign language. The program provides the teacher with unlimited opportunities for creativity in the use of information in any form of presentation, in the layout of the material in accordance with the purpose, objectives of the particular occupation and allows you to take into account the individual approach to students of different groups.

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.
