Formation of thesaurus of linguistic personality of the future specialist-philologist from the position of lingo-didactics

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of the formation of the linguistic personality of a specialist in the conditions of modernization of the education system at the present stage. It provides a brief overview of scientific information on the interpretation of this  phenomenon and its structure; presents our understanding of the professional linguistic personality of the philologist. This article aims to try to outline the ways of forming the linguistic personality of a future philologist, in particular his thesaurus. The concept of “professional linguistic personality” is considered from the standpoint of linguodidactics. Using comparative, contextual, descriptive methods, the authors analyze the educational programs of the Bachelor of Philology Faculty of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University “Russian language and Literature”. Students take a questionnaire on their knowledge of highly specialized terms in the direction of “Russian language” at the initial, intermediate and final stages of training. To substantiate the study results and their interpretation we use quantitative and statistical calculation. To form and improve the thesaurus (as a separate component of the linguistic  personality) of a philologist, the authors suggest several approaches: systematization and complexity in the presentation and
assimilation of program material, development of a system of tasks and exercises, role-playing games, and increasing students' motivation for professional growth. These approaches can be applied in the process of forming a thesaurus within any language.
