Formation of valuable autonomy of students in the process of mastering a foreign language
Teaching a foreign language may be an effective tool for creating conditions for personal, social, and humanitarian development of students. However, the existing system of teaching foreign languages in higher education does not fully realize the humanitarian and developing potential for foreign language education. These problems may be solved by designing mechanisms and ways of holistic development of students by means of a foreign language. The paper deals with the issues of design of new teaching methods, ways and conditions for the formation of value autonomy of students in the study of a foreign language at the university. The paper is prepared based on the analysis of scientific studies of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of theory of personality development in the course of activity of teaching and communication, theory and methods of teaching foreign languages at the university. The results and practical significance of this study consist in the development of methods of enrichment of value-oriented experience in the process of mastering a foreign language, aimed at the formation of value autonomy in students. The implementation of the design method ensures the integration of the acquired socio-cultural experience through the reflection and emotional experience of acquired values, as well as the expression of own assessments and socio-moral positions.
