Summary
The issue regarding foreign language education standards and tests is topical and determined by the international ties between Ukraine and different countries of the world This fact conditions the need in the training of highly qualified specialists who can use professionally their foreign language skills in many spheres of life (social, political, economic, diplomatic, etc.) in order to maintain favourable relations between partner countries. The evolving international and intercultural relations between both European and Oriental countries and Ukraine prove the necessity to adapt pedagogical technologies in the field of training students majoring in foreign languages (English, Chinese) to the demands of modern inter-governmental collaboration specificities. We are going to consider the issues as follows: literature survey; related work which includes general information on teaching / learning foreign languages in Ukraine; common assessment reference for foreign languages; specificities of elaborating common standards for teaching foreign languages in Ukraine (Chinese, in particular); assessment criteria for both quality of teachers’ work and students’ academic success; teaching problems and suggestions; results and discussions concerning approaches to teaching / learning foreign languages; learning tools (foreign language immersion environment, profession-oriented speech practicing); conclusion
