Personal and Valuable Aspects of Professional and Methodological Activities of a Future Teacher

Aim. To explore issues related to the personal and value-based aspects of the professional training of future foreign language teachers, as well as the challenges that teachers face in the changing educational environment with.

Methodology. The work is based on modern approaches and principles of such professional and personal training of future foreign language teachers as axiological and anthropocentric principles, principles of humanistic education, a system and unity of teaching and upbringing. The main methods are theoretical analysis of scientific, methodological, and psychological-pedagogical literature, diagnostics, interviews, surveys, and statistical processing of the data obtained.

Results. The results of the study of the problems of forming the personal and value aspects of the future teacher’s professional and methodological activities were presented during the International Methodological Seminar “Foreign Language in Modern Educational Realities: Personal and Value Aspects of Teacher's Activities” (2025), which included a discussion of the strategic objectives of the future foreign language teacher’s scientific, methodological, and research activities, as well as the identification of problems and shortcomings in their spiritual and moral development during their university training and early professional teaching experience at school. Strategic directions for minimizing and eliminating the problems of forming the worldview and value dominants of a modern pedagogical university student are proposed.

Research implications of the research conducted lies in: a) the theoretical substantiation of the process of de-globalization of language education, considering the factors and trends characteristic of modern reality; b) the clarification of the concept of “safe communicative foreign language environment” as a tool for a foreign language teacher to implement the personal and value component of the educational process. The practical significance is determined by the rules proposed by axiological linguodidactics, compliance with which will allow the formation of professional and personal qualities of a future foreign language teacher.

Conclusions. The problem of defining the professional and personal aspects of a teacher’s activity requires changes to the foreign language teacher training program, emphasizing the teacher’s personal and civic education, and the development of their spiritual, moral, and value-based characteristics.
