Providing professional and pedagogical culture of future English teachers in the context of European integration

Abstract

The article presents the features of ensuring the professional and pedagogical culture of future English language teachers in the context of European integration. By professional and pedagogical culture we understand the integral quality of the teacher’s personality, which is a prerequisite for effective pedagogical activity, a generalized indicator of professional competence and the goal of professional self-improvement. A modern future teacher must be comprehensively prepared for various aspects of the future work and demonstrate the results of learning – “knowledge, skills, ways of thinking, skills, views, values and other personal qualities. Modern education and upbringing of an active and independent creative personality, competitive in the conditions of the information society, requires from the future teacher not only interactive skills, but also the ability to independently acquire knowledge, thoughtfully build a schedule, navigate information and prepare oneself for the use of these technologies in future professional activities. This approach determines the organization of pedagogical practice of students, which contributes to the formation of motivational-emotional, cognitive, activity and regulatory structural-criterial components of the intellectual culture of the future teacher. Educators assure that sensitivity to suggestions and the value of accepting one’s own opinion dominate during education. They noted that in an educational institution it is very important to teach the material in an accessible way, as well as to encourage an increase in motivation for better assimilation of knowledge with words and support. They need such encouragement and motivation in writing papers of various research types, supervision and mentoring. Such support will contribute to the formation of the professional and pedagogical culture of future teachers of the English language and the possibility of applying the acquired skills, knowledge and skills in professional activities.
