“…The problem of development of the self-educational activity of university students in the process of foreign language learning is actualized due to the fact that independent educational activity in language education plays an important role nowadays. Effective language acquisition involves, above all, the ability and willingness of the student independently, throughout his/her life to learn a foreign language, to maintain and improve his/her level of knowledge in order to be competitive in increasingly globalized labor market (Nazmieva, Plakhova, & Pershina, 2017;Fakhrutdinova & Kondrateva, 2016). Having analyzed different definitions of the term "self-education" in Russian and foreign pedagogical references and encyclopedias it can be summarized as a purposeful cognitive activity, managed by the learner himself/herself and aimed at achieving certain personal and socially significant educational goals (Brockett & Hiemstra, 1991;Candy, 1991;Tough, 1989).…”
