Development of future foreign language teachers’ information literacy and digital skills in Ukrainian context

Modern Ukrainian society moves ahead rapidly and requires immediate actions from the system of higher education as it is responsible for the professional training of highly-qualified specialists in various branches. However, the initial responsibility is surely on secondary education which prepares the basis for the further professional journey. Thus, a teacher is considered to be a rather important person in the development of the society. While the students obtain their higher education, the reality changes and they take risk to acquire the out-ofdate model of professional competence. It is a challenge to find the way out of this situation. Future teachers can and should be taught to develop their own professional thinking, awareness and skills.
