FEATURES OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LANGUAGE STRATEGIES IN THE DOMESTIC SPACE OF PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The study of the language – native and foreign – has always been considered one of the determinants in the education system of any country in the world. Meanwhile, in the education of the former USSR, this segment existed not only in the field of insufficient attention, but also purposefully restrained as one that «erodes the ideological foundations» of the then way of life. Instead, the so-called «Russification» was introduced, which pushed the native (national) and foreign to the backyard of the educational process and intensified the study of the Russian language, interpreted as the «language of interethnic communication. In fact, language strategies have been highly mythologized and ideologized. Returning to a real language education requires the eradication of this approach, and with it – a number of contradictions that overwhelmed language education.The purpose of the article is a systematic understanding of the implementation of language strategies in the space of pedagogical education, in particular in the system of the former USSR. The article considers the principles of ideologizing language education; denationalization of language educational strategies. The lack of comprehensive teaching methods and practical communication with native speakers is emphasized.It is noted that language subjectivity in the education of future teachers is one of the basic components of their professional training, and the development of oral and communicative competence is a necessary condition for their further practical activities. In the educational space of the USSR, in pedagogical educational institutions, language training was subordinated to the ideological postulates of building a communist society. On the one hand, there were formal legal conditions for language training in Ukraine on a national basis, and on the other hand, the system of social priorities was built in such a way that the prestige of the Ukrainian language in public relations and education was artificially underestimated.Key words: language training, pedagogical education, Ukrainian language, foreign language, native speaker, language policy.
