The formation of professional competence of future teachers of foreign languages on the basis of acmeological approach at higher education establishment

Abstract

The article presents the results of theoretical investigation of the problem of the formation of professional competence of future teachers of foreign languages on the basis of acmeological approach at higher education establishment, that are necessary for successful pedagogical performance. Today, as the analysis of theoretical research and pedagogical practice shows, that there is a contradiction between the objective needs of modern society in personnel with high degree of professional responsibility, activity and creative initiative, high degree of awareness of the value meaning of professional activity and "well-known" model of professional training of students. This model does not take into account the formation of personal content of professional activity of future specialists. There is also a contradiction between the need to organize the process of training students as objects of educational activity and the absence of reasonable model of its formation; the need for targeted development of acmeological potential of future teachers and insufficient theoretical development of models of its development at higher education establishment. Acmeological approach provides freedom of thoughts, self-reliance, a wide mental outlook. Due to this approach, a high standard of culture is achieved and grounded knowledge is obtained. The author pays special attention to theoretical justification of key competences for the teachers of foreign languages. The author of the article summarizes the concepts of "competence", "professional competence". The concept of professionalism and ways of its developments are considered. The mechanism of projection activity is analyzed, in particular acmeological projection as one of its variations in the process of learning foreign languages, as well as foreign language teacher language portfolio.
