Abstract

In this article the authors reveal the essence of the phenomenon of ethical competence of the future translator, because the challenges of nowadays require the approval of new conceptual trends related to the humanization of education. These tendencies become especially relevant in the humanities and pedagogical education, especially in philology. Modern higher education should not aim only at forming the necessary amount of professional knowledge, skills and abilities of the future philologist-translator or interpreter. It is required nowadays that the instrumental sphere of the personality of the graduate of the Faculty of Philology is closely combined with the development of motivational and value sphere, moral and ethical qualities, which in the synthesis provides a thorough professional and ethical training. The purpose of research is to analyze the essence of the phenomenon of ethical competence of the future translator, because the success of the future specialist – translator, his formation as a professional directly depends on the level of his professional and ethical training. In view of this, the realities of today require the intensification of pedagogical research aimed at studying the processes of formation and development of ethical competence in future translators. Results of research. Analysis of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical literature allows us to draw the following conclusions about the essence of the ethical component of the professional activity of a translator. First, the profession of translator performs an important social function. The translator in his professional activity is guided by two motives that have a purely moral and ethical character: internal, which is based on the moral consciousness of the individual, and external, which is based on the strength of the professional code of the specialist. Secondly, the study of the components of the professional competence of the translator led us to the system-forming nature of the personal component, which, in turn, breaks down into two components, one of which relates to the moral and ethical sphere of the specialist. Third, the review of research in the field of professional competence of a translator showed the lack of study of the analyzed problem, but pointed out the importance of its solution to ensure the appropriate level of professional activity of the translator. Fourth, a thorough component analysis of the professional competence of a specialist allowed us to determine the internal structure of ethical competence, which will consist of knowledge, skills, abilities and personal characteristics, i.e. those personal qualities necessary to ensure this competence. The above principles give us a reasonable basis for allocating the ethical component of the professional activity of a translator into an independent significant competence necessary for the successful performance of a professional's professional duties and meeting public needs.
