The article deals with the current requirements of modern society to the personality and professionalism of foreign languages’ teachers. The need for continuous professional and personal selfdevelopment of the teacher and the low level of teachers’ willingness to practise this activity is distinguished. The positive impact of motivation on learning processes, goal setting, self-development is analyzed. The motivation for professional and personal self-development is determined as a complex structured multicomponent psychological composition, including the motives of educational activity, motivation to succeed, professional growth and personal development. The system of emotional, cognitive, social and volitional ways to stimulate the motivation of future foreign language teachers for professional and personal self-development is worked out. As an emotional way to stimulate professional and personal self-development author proposes to create a positive emotional background, to model success’ situations and to fulfill a psychological need of being a significant person in the process of studying. Cognitive way of motivation’s stimulating includes the use of such techniques as L. Peterson’s activity-training method, project method, problem-based learning methods (discussions, simulations, case study method, educational games), online work with interactive programs, web quests, the Portfolio method. Effective methods of social motivation’s stimulating of professional and personal selfdevelopment are the personal example of the teacher, work on advanced educational experiences and achievements of teachers-innovators. Voluntary motivation’s stimulation methods are worked out as understanding by the students the aims of study, opportunity to choose the tasks and forms of control, and stimulating the reflection and planning of future activities. This system can be implemented within the framework of the educational process of future foreign languages’ teachers’ training in high school.
