READINESS OF CONTEMPORARY STUDENTS TO LIFE-LONG LEARNING (MOTIVATION AND VALUE-BASED COMPONENT)
The paper gives an insight into the problem of lifelong education, which has come into foreground in the current educational situation. It describes university students’ attitudes to it and their motifs to enhance their own continuous personal and professional development. It argues that contemporary students are not fully aware of its necessity and, thus, it is of primary importance for the educational establishments to provide for it through the means of different teaching disciplines. It claims that foreign languages can serve a valuable tool in this process.
