Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to substantiate and describe a viable and effective model of pro-fessional pedagogical training of foreign language teachers at a university in accordance with the objective need for its modernization. The push for such modernization is dictated by the need to improve the quality of general secondary education through improving the quality of teaching. The modern conditions of providing professional pedagogical training to foreign language teachers are determined by the global challenges of modernity which force the edu-cation system to become information-based, dynamic, and adaptive. Modernization of profes-sional pedagogical training consists in updating its content and organizing appropriate activi-ties for optimal learning in the university in view of the new parameters and requirements of modern teaching. The novelty of the research lies in proposing new content models and new ways of organizing professional pedagogical training of future foreign language teachers in modern conditions. The main methodological basis of modernization is the learner-centered approach, in line with which professional pedagogical training becomes an organized subsys-tem within the integrated system that seeks to shape the professional identity of future foreign language teachers. Its goals is to enable students to acquire knowledge and skills in organiz-ing education and training, employing innovative designs of these processes, and continuous-ly enhancing their own capacity for self-development and further professional excellence. The article proposes a modular paradigm of updating the content of professional pedagogical training, suggesting the following content blocks: “Pedagogy: A Basic Course,” “Education: Traditions and Modernity,” “Traditional and Creative Didactics,” “International Pedagogy: History and Modernity,” “Mobile Learning,” and “Individual Professional and Pedagogical Trajectories.” Each of these includes several organizational modules: informational, practical, research-oriented, and evaluative, and the authors outline a set of principles for implementing these content blocks and modules. The proposed modular model of professional pedagogical training is an open system which will contribute to the development of the overall pedagogi-cal education and culture of future teachers as well as the formation of their professional iden-tity in the process of studying at the university.
