Abstract
We hope to believe that our research makes a certain theoretical and practical contribution to the development of a research competence of future foreign language teachers through the lens of sustainable development. We offered a definition of the research competence of future foreign language teachers as a complex and multifaceted concept that had not received the detailed consideration in the existing literature before. We have studied and identified abilities comprising the core of the research competence. The principles of the educational process aimed at the development of research competence of pre-service teachers have been highlighted. The model of future foreign language teachers’ research competence development has been constructed through experimental work was provided to show the efficiency of the model designed.
