The article is devoted to the problem of fostering socio-ecological readiness of a future teacher to solve professional problems in the context of sustainable development of education. The aim of the study was to substantiate the concept, the essential content and the component composition of the socio-ecological readiness of the future teacher based on the provisions of systemic activity-oriented, axiological, problem-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches. In the course of the work done, the results of modern foreign and domestic psychological and pedagogical research on the problem of forming the readiness of a future teacher for various types of activities were analyzed and summarized, which made it possible to substantiate the author's vision of the considered professionally significant characteristic. From the position of the systemic activity-oriented approach, the specifics of socio-ecological training were determined, the key provisions and principles of the axiological approach formed the basis of the content, and the problem-based and interdisciplinary approaches determined the technological side of the formation of socio-ecological readiness of the future teacher as a result of the studied process. The result of the article was a scientifically grounded author's original idea of the essence of the concept and the component structure of the professionally significant characteristic being studied. The essence of socio-ecological readiness of a future teacher is considered as an integrative education, which includes a stable system of motives and values, body of knowledge necessary to solve relevant professional tasks, ability to set them, plan solutions, choose and apply adequate means of solution, evaluate the results of actions and make appropriate adjustments. Socio-ecological readiness is represented structurally by a combination of value-motivational, cognitive, orientation-reflective and activity-based components. The theoretical significance of the article lies in the generalization of relevant psychological and pedagogical research on the problem under study and the definition of the concept, component composition and content of the socio-ecological readiness of the future teacher, which allows the author to use the results obtained in further work devoted to the problem of socio-ecological training of students in the university system. The practical significance of the research lies in the substantiation of ways to build the process of socio-ecological training of future teachers in the context of sustainable development of education based on the varieties of solved professional tasks. The results of the article obtained by the author can be used in designing the process of socio-ecological training of future teachers in the university system, as well as in diagnosing the level of socio-ecological readiness formation.

This article examines the issue of the development of functional literacy among schoolchildren by foreign language teachers using supra-professional competences. The relevance of the research is due to the need to implement the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard for General Education concerning digitalization and individualization of education, which creates a need for new competences of teachers. The development of functional literacy among schoolchildren requires foreign language teachers to have supra-professional competences that ensure the integration of digital technologies and an individual approach in educational practice. Supra-professional competences, which have a metasubject character, consisting in a combination of these processes, meet the requirements of modern educational needs. The aim of the article is to theoretically substantiate and analyze the potential of supra-professional competences of foreign language teachers in the development of functional literacy among schoolchildren in the context of digital transformation of education. The main approaches to studying the problem of functional literacy development in the context of applying supra-professional skills are activity-based, systematic, and meta-disciplinary approaches. The activity-based approach sets the benchmark for research in the professional activity of a foreign language teacher, the systematic approach focuses on the educational process as a single interconnected system, the meta-disciplinary approach allows us to competently combine knowledge from different fields and disciplines, as well as coordinate the processes of digitalization and individualization. The research results include a terminological analysis of the concepts of «supra-professional competences» and «functional literacy», a description of the meta-disciplinary nature of supra-professional competences, a description of the implementation of digitalization and individualization processes in the professional activity of teachers, and the identification of the potential of supra-professional competences to solve the problems of functional literacy development. The theoretical significance of the article lies in the terminological analysis of the concepts of «supra-professional competences» and «functional literacy of schoolchildren». The practical significance lies in determining the prospects for the application of supra-professional competences to solve the professional tasks of foreign language teachers in the field of functional literacy of schoolchildren.
