Abstract

The article  describes the concept of linguistic  and information  competence
for  future  translators  and  defined  linguistic  and  information  competency  as  key
competencies  for  future  translators.  The  term  "competence"  is  a  complex
capacitive  sense,  as  covering  different  sides  of  personality.  The  linguistic
competence  refers  to  the  development  of  students'  ability  to  assimilate,  activate
and  systematize  linguistic  units:  the  vocabulary  of  the  language,  phonetic
principles, rules of grammar, gaining knowledge about the expression of cultural
values in the native language and the foreign language. Information competence
covers  the  knowledge  of  regional  geographic  features  of  foreign  speakers,  their
traditions,  etiquette,  habits,  behavior  and  the  ability  to  use  in  the  translation
process.
They  had  selected  and  examined  competence  and  student-activity
approaches. The essence of the competence approach  is a set of general principles
defining the goals of education, selection of educational content of the educational
process and assessment of educational outcomes.  They had characterized studentactivity  approach  as  the  basis  for  the  interaction  of  teachers  and  students  in
learning.
