Personality-activity approach to autonomous formation of the competence in translation

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of autonomous formation of the competence in translation in the context of a personal-activity approach to the learning process. The article describes the concept and place of students’ autonomous work in the modern educational process. Attention is focused on the personality-activity approach as an effective means of realization of modern educational goals, which maximally satisfies educational and cognitive needs of modern students. The concept of personality-activity approach in the historical context is also analyzed. The personality-activity approach is considered in two aspects, namely, personal and activity, which are interrelated and just relative. The personal component is aimed at the formation of a secondary linguistic personality that is relevant to future philologists and provides the development of the individual as a whole. The activity component is based on the principles of subject-subject relations between students and the teacher, on equal partnership cooperation, which implies intensive educational and cognitive activity of students, in particular learning, when the student learns language and culture, being an active participant in the educational process but not observer / listener. It provides a positive intellectual-emotional context of learning activities, the opportunity for everyone to show his/her own activity, creativity and independence. Thus, the central categories of personality-activity approach in the context of autonomous work are secondary linguistic personality and independent, self-directed and productive activity of students, for the realization of which the main and effective means of learning scientists consider electronic means of education, to be precise, remote technologies, which allow to realize purposeful and methodically organized leadership of educational and cognitive activity of those who study and is based on the use of a wide range of traditional, informational and communicational technologies.
