THE POTENTIAL OF THE ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE “FOREIGN LANGUAGE” IN THE FORMATION OF A FUTURE TEACHER’S RESEARCH COMPETENCE ^{[№ 1 ' 2025]}
Currently, the formation of professional competencies of university students in the context of multi-level education involves the development of the need for continuous self-education in students. The need to develop the intellectual potential of a future specialist, stimulate research skills and abilities determined the relevance of the process of forming students' research competence. At the same time, the formation of research competence in the educational space of a university should be comprehensive and carried out, among other things, within the framework of specialized disciplines. The integration of research activities into the process of foreign language teaching should be carried out in stages and solve the following problems: familiarize students with the basics of research activities, provide methodological training of students, promote the development of skills in working with authentic professionally oriented sources. The potential of the discipline "Foreign Language" in the formation of research competence of students of pedagogical universities is as follows: a foreign language provides theoretical and methodological training, familiarizing students with the basics of research activities and the methodology of conducting research; provides opportunities for working with authentic materials; allows to adapt the content of scientific literature to a certain level of training of students; finally, research activity in a foreign language is an additional incentive to study the language and improve language skills. At the same time, there are a number of difficulties that students may encounter in the process of research work in a foreign language: inability to identify the problem and relevance of the study, difficulty in formulating the goal and objectives of the study, inability to work with foreign-language information, difficulty in interpreting scientific terminology, literal translation, falsification and distortion of scientific information. We have identified the following stages of the formation of research competence through the discipline "Foreign Language": preparatory, search, productive and final, which correspond to the components of research competence - motivational, cognitive, activity, reflexive. Consistent implementation of the identified stages of the formation of research competence in the process of foreign language training of a future specialist contributes to the gradual formation of all its components and ensures their continuity.
