Formation of professional knowledge through cognitive-communicative approach in philological education

The primary objective of the modern higher professional education is to train professionals who are able to adapt themselves to any difficult conditions quickly and successfully and to make proper decisions in any situations, even most uncommon ones. It is quite difficult to achieve this objective nowadays in Russia due to the abundance and variety of information. Thus it is necessary to replace the utilitarian education, when a student gets only general knowledge and information in specific field of professional activity, by a process of forming skills to handle the information flow, to single out the material important for a student. To succeed in organizing the process of education for future teachers of the Russian language a tutor must take into account cognitive abilities and the level of communicative skills of the students.
