Why is it important?

Comparative analysis has given an oppotunity to eliminate the advantages and disadvantages of philologists’ education and professional training in both countries. Studying an American experience is useful for the Ukranian practice of philological education in the light of the following circumstances: first, Ukraine, like the USA, is a multicultural state that defines the features of language policy. Secondly, American higher education originated as degree-based, and bachelor’s degree was the first one in this link. Thirdly, the United States has consistently accumulated leading world experience in the field of education, adapting it to the needs of the society. Over the past decades, foreign languages teaching in the United States has been characterized by the introduction of various organizational forms and methods that deserve attention in view of the need to improve professional philological training of Ukrainian professionals.
