Abstract

The article reveals a problem of forming teamwork skills in future teachers of foreign languages, based on the structure of pedagogical activity, which provides a student-oriented approach to teaching, taking into account the peculiarities of the national character that affect the effectiveness of the student’s work in a team. The authors propose to introduce a mixed principle of education and teamwork into the educational process of the university: the formation of teams by the students themselves according to the principle of communication; distribution of roles in the team, taking into account the characteristics of the character of each team member; self-organization of work of students in groups; deeper assimilation of knowledge acquired in the team leads to a qualitative improvement in student academic performance; the acquired knowledge is deepened, the quality of professional training is improved, which increases university graduates’ competitive ability on the professional labor market. The characteristic features of the pedagogical students majoring in English and Chinese of the North-Eastern Federal University have been singled out and described. Considerable attention is paid to the works of Russian researchers, studying the problem of improving the quality of future teachers’ teamwork skills among students of the language university of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
