Abstract

The article analyzes the concept of monitoring of the professional competencies of a teacher, defines the role and place of diagnosis in the system of professional monitoring, highlights a teacherʼs competence in teaching foreign students of technical specialties. The competence approach is connected with the search for new conceptual and methodological models for training specialists with higher technical education, the quality of vocational training, and defining the key competencies that a modern teacher should have.

The objective of the article is to research and justify theoretical foundations for diagnostics of results of forming professional competencies of language teachers for foreign students in technical universities.

Interaction of the teacher and the student undergoes significant transformations reflecting socio-economic changes in Ukraine, improvement of higher professional education system in the process of introducing new requirements and standards of education.These new developments, in the first place, concern the perception of the teacher, the system of role expectations regarding the leading qualities of the teacher.

The increasing attention to the issues of diagnosing a level of proficiency of language teachers as a modern trend requires not only scientifically-based tools for continuous measurement, analysis, and improvement of evaluation of educational results of studentsʼ vocational training but also a new look at the system of pedagogical diagnostics. System diagnostics based on a competent approach should become a key component of monitoring the quality of vocational training of language teachers in technical universities.

For Ukrainian and foreign students image of their teacher consists of many subjective factors of perception and includes several groups of qualities: personal qualities, that characterize the teacher as a person; professional qualities, that characterize the teacher’s professional level; and social qualities, that characterize the teacher’s communicative skills and their ability to “stay in touch” with students. Effectiveness and optimization of the teaching process for Ukrainian and foreign students depend both on the teacherʼs pedagogical skill and on his or her character
