The article reveals the problem of forming the professional and pedagogical orientation of future teachers of foreign languages. This idea is revealed by the authors in different ways, but there is no consensus on the defined concept. Modern researchers of pedagogical sciences define that the productivity of professional and pedagogical orientation is provided not only by creative and intellectual abilities, but also determined by the structure of professional motivation as the main system of the teacher's personality and professional activity. Usually this term is understood as a person’s perception of goals, guidelines of beliefs, which are indicators of his level of formation of professional activity. The main competences of professional orientation are highlighted: positive perception of future professional activity; compliance with the future profession of a foreign language teacher; motivational component, interest in future pedagogical activity, psychological and moral values, and readiness for future professional activity of a foreign language teacher. Features of pedagogical focus, which includes the personal qualities of the future teacher, which determine the awareness of the goals and tasks of professional activity in the system of motivation of the foreign language teacher, are determined. The main theoretical and methodological factors of the professional and pedagogical orientation of future teachers of foreign languages are described: educational and pedagogical process, content, forms, methods and means of teaching in foreign language classes; professional motivation of future teachers; planning of the educational process of students; high level of professional competence of teachers and future specialists; psychological and pedagogical factors that influence the process of formation of professional competence of future specialists. The main motives that influence the process of formation of the professional and pedagogical orientation of future teachers of foreign languages are highlighted: internal motives (professional activity, positive attitude towards the future profession of a teacher); external motives (personal needs of the individual, which are satisfied in the future professional activity of the individual and reflect certain aspects of professional self-awareness).
