摘要:AbstractThe article presents the results of a pilot survey designed to evaluate the level of professional competence of foreign language teachers, employed in the institutions of higher education at Tomsk. The study is based on the self-assessment of the respondents. The authors suggest to distinguish between six different groups of professional abilities that present various aspects of the professional competence of a foreign language teacher. The results of the pilot survey can be deemed useful for further studies of the issues related to professional training of foreign language teachers.
