Annotation: The paper describes the experience of the professional retraining program provision “Theory and practice in foreign languages teaching (English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean)” in Tomsk State University. The target audience for the retraining program was university teachers, delivering the discipline “Foreign language,” who are proficient in a foreign language and use it for academic and professional purposes. Their participation in the retraining program had been conditioned by the lack of appropriate qualification in theory and practice of teaching the foreign languages. The process of building the methodological skills of 30 teachers majoring in “Linguistics,” “Translation and translation studies,” “Regional Studies” and “International relations” is given in detail. The planned results for the program are stated in terms of competences and cover the professional skills to be acquired by the program participants. The authors indicate approaches to the training provision based on the performance level of the program participants, as well as the difficulties encountered in the implementation of such retraining programs. The contents of the program modules are designed to ensure building and enhancing the methodical competence of the program participants. The technological base of the program comprises such approaches as context-based teaching, case-study, individual teaching experience analysis, class observation and selfreflection. The paper lists the requirements for final qualification projects, challenges faced in their preparation and the results of the implementation of the developed teaching materials and lesson plans in real teaching. In conclusion, the analysis of the questionnaire survey data of the program participants conducted at the beginning and at the end of training is given. Prospects of further work on the program, some options of its modernization and development in response to the needs of the subjects of training are defined. The implemented research methods list the following ones: theoretical analysis, questionnaire and teaching and learning materials analysis, final qualification paper material analysis.
Keywords: methodical competence of a teacher, training provision in a foreign language, pedagogical interaction, questionnaire method.
