Introduction. The article is devoted to the problem of forming value orientations of future foreign language teachers. In modern socio-political and economic conditions, it becomes important to train teachers with a formed axiosphere, focused on the student’s personality and his spiritual and moral development. The purpose of the article is to consider the professional axiosphere of the future teacher as the main regulator of the teacher’s relations with all participants in the educational process.

Materials and methods. The “Literature of Germany” course, based on the principles of intercultural and professional-humanistic orientation, as well as the contextual nature of teaching, plays a significant role in the formation of the professional axiosphere of future foreign language teachers. The work is systematic in nature, each section includes a problematic issue in the context of value orientations and the search for solutions to axiological problems. Active teaching methods help immerse students in the axiological field.

Results. Pedagogical practice confirmed the readiness of students to solve both search-axiological and practice-oriented problems. Future foreign language teachers noted an increase in their ability to anticipate conflict situations and resolve them, relying on humanistic and professionally oriented value orientations, which contributed to the internalization of the personal system of value coordinates, as well as the growth of tolerance towards another culture.

Discussion. The authors summarize the results of the analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature on the problem of forming value orientations of university students, discuss the points of view of scientists and practicing teachers on the possibilities of solving this problem, and summarize that this problem is characterized by high relevance in pedagogy and psychology of higher education. The authors emphasize that the results of the work done, presented in this article, generally correlate with the positions of scientists on this issue. The conclusion is made about the need to organize pedagogical influence on students in order to form a system of value orientations at the proper level.

Conclusion. The formed axiosphere of future foreign language teachers determines their worldview and influences their future teaching activities. Students are ready to transmit universal human values to future students, recognizing themselves as carriers of their native culture and accepting the value orientations of another culture. Formed professionally oriented value orientations of future teachers are focused on the personality of the student as an equal subject of the educational process and his comprehensive development.
