The article focuses on the results of the analysis of the various psychological and pedagogical roles of the English for Specific Purposes/ESP teacher which are actualized in the process of professional training within the ESP course. It has been specified that the level of methodological competence of the ESP teacher is determined, in particular, by the ability to choose behavior patterns and combine roles that are appropriate in a particular educational situation. Due to the psychological theories of interaction the range of teaching roles has been determined in the context of pedagogical interaction between ESP teacher and ESP students, thus, gradual transformation of the guardian and mentor position to the role of partner, co-worker, colleague, accomplice, co-author, collaborator has been grounded. Considered in the article is the concept of pedagogical facilitation as an innovative approach to ESP training. Identifying facilitation with the notion of pedagogical management made it possible to emphasise on the managerial, adaptive, organizational and consultative functions of the ESP teacher, therefore, the roles of manager, supervisor, attendant, assistant, consultant, counsellor have been outlined. The role of facilitator within ESP teaching is regarded as a complex concept which comprises the positions of consultant, moderator, and tutor. The significance of such teaching position in ESP training has been substantiated primarily due to the specific target learners of the ESP courses who fundamentally differ from the students of the general language courses in terms of their theoretical and practical professional background.
Key words: English for specific purposes; facilitator; pedagogical facilitation; pedagogical interaction; psychological and pedagogical roles.
