Abstract
Challenges of society of the information level increase attention to the person as a linguistic personality, its ability to personal assessment, and interpretation of information. A wide use of technology in almost all spheres of public life displaces from society many types of traditional human activities, which raises the importance of the personal component in the professional development of the student, which determines his self-actualization and future professional fulfillment.
For successful professional fulfillment, it is necessary to form the motivation of «self-actualization», which is associated with the person's desire to become what he may be, as a person. A man who has attained the level of self-actualization has reached the peak of his potential and depth of world perception, full disclosure of his talents, abilities and opportunities.
Significantly contributing to this process is the study of foreign languages, which accelerates personal development and improves the outlook culture of a future specialist, enhances competitiveness and ensures success in professional activities.
The creative nature of the language, this continuous activity that transforms the «sound into the expression of thought» in the process of intensive study of a foreign language releases a huge stock of unconscious human reserve capabilities in memory, awareness and communication, creates conditions for maximum revealing the intellectual potential of the individual, the development of his emotional and motivational spheres.
Foreign language speech activity is intensifying the implementation of such basic functions of language as cognitive (thinking and cognition) and communicative (means of communication), which has a direct impact on the effectiveness of professional communication. The intensive use of language accelerates the process of transferring knowledge and community experience and develops skills of social interaction.
Speaking foreign languages is crucial for employment of future specialists. Knowledge of foreign languages increases their competitiveness at the international level, providing the appropriate culture of professional communication to achieve success and fulfillness in professional activities.
Key words: conceptual thinking; cultural experience; foreign language; linguistic personality; motivation; personal and professional formation; reserve capabilities; self-actualization; self-fulfillment; student as a future expert; world-view culture.
