Abstract
The article substantiates the necessity of forming the professional image of the specialists of the educational sphere, in particular future teachers of foreign languages, in the conditions of society’s entry into market social and economic relations, which requires from each person the ability to evaluate and present oneself, to be competitive in the labor market. In the context of the analysed problem the critical analysis and systematization of existing approaches to understanding the notions “image” and “professional image” in modern scientific world was carried out. The discrepancy in the interpretation of these concepts by modern foreign and domestic scientists as well as the lack of the definition of the notion «Foreign language teacher’s professional image» was revealed. The most typical cases of understanding the concepts “image” and “professional image” are singled out, namely: interpreting it as an image of someone, something; representing it as an opinion about a person; identifying it with competence, willingness to carry out professional activities or professional culture; associating it with standards of perception of the image of a specialist in mass consciousness. Arguments about the inexpediency of such interpretations of the notion “image” in the context of the problem of its forming are given. The author’s attitude to the notion “professional image” is expressed based on generalizing the existing opinions. The expediency of defining the image in terms of the personality’s status and role theory is proved. The nearest generic notion of the concept “professional image” is determined, that is the personality’s status-role characteristic. Its main characteristics are defined as follows: 1) professional image is the systemic unity of specialist’s external and internal personal and professional qualities as well as competences; 2) professional image is aimed at creating public image of social and professional role that personality constructs; 3) professional image is shown, confirmed and developed in the process of mastering social and professional experience. The author’s definitions both of the concepts «image» and “professional image” are presented. The Foreign language teacher’s professional image is defined as a status-role characteristic that unites the system of external and internal individual and professional qualities and competencies of personality; is manifested, confirmed and developed in the process of mastering socio-professional experience and aimed to create the public image of socio-professional role that he/she constructs.
