Mode of linguistic-and-methodological competence develop-ment in the course of professional training of prospective foreign language teachers

Abstract

The article deals with the mode of lin-guistic-and-methodological competence de-velopment in prospective foreign language teachers in the context of the analysis of par-ticular disciplines of the general training cycle. The content analysis of educational and professional curricula and working plans of educational disciplines for prospective foreign language teachers is carried out; a number of disciplines of the general training cycle are analyzed in the context of their influence on linguistic-and-methodological competence de-velopment in prospective foreign language teachers. Potential opportunities of the cycle of professional and practical training for linguis-tic-and-methodological competence develop-ment, as well as their interaction on the basis of cross-curricular relations, are revealed. The features of the process of prospec-tive foreign language teachers training, accord-ing to the character of the disciplines, prac-tice/training, forms and methods of coopera-tion with prospective foreign language teach-ers in the course of their training are found out. As a result of the given research it is discovered that the disciplines under consider-ation contribute to the development of linguis-tic-and-methodological competence of pro-spective foreign language teachers providing future professionals with socio-cultural and social knowledge, skills and competencies which not only ensure their adaptation to a foreign language environment, but also con-tribute to successful performance of teaching activities.
