ABSTRACT

Some issues regarding adaptation of the foreign language (English, Chinese) education standards are presented in the article. The purpose of the study is to present all possible correlations related to the foreign language education standards in Ukraine. The relevance of the problem is stipulated by the Ukrainian normative education regulations as well as inter-governmental agreements, which are to be compared and correlated. The appropriate research methods have been considered: theoretical and practical analyses of the normative education documents and methodological prerequisites which could facilitate an adequate correlation of the foreign language education standards in the framework of Ukraine's international cooperation. The common reference levels for foreign language acquisition, the components of foreign and local curricula/ syllabi, the contents of academic mobility programmes and the criteria of teachers' work quality assessment have been presented. The main suggestions (findings) which are to be observed have been given: aspect-targeted training in a foreign language; keeping to local specificities, education requirements and cultural traditions; the need in teachers' advanced training, etc.
