Modern challenges of linguistic globalization, strategic guidelines of information space, problems of linguistic ecology and language policy, rapid development of communication technologies in all sectors of society have increased attention to the quality of human communication. The research aims to identify the peculiarities of organizing educational activities of linguists at the UK universities and justify the ways of creative implementation of the UK innovative experience in higher philological education in Ukraine. A set of interrelated research methods was used to accomplish the objectives of the research: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, the comparative pedagogical method, the search method, the prognostic method. It is specified that linguistics curricula assess the ability of future linguists to analyze linguistic data, apply different methods of collecting data, as well as their understanding of linguistic concepts, theories, methods, and, accordingly, the relationship between these aspects of linguistic science and the solving of specific linguistic problems. It is found that the forms of organizing educational activities for linguistics students include lectures, seminars, practical classes, laboratory work, workshops, group and individual tutoring. The planning, development and completion of group or individual research projects, micro-group training, asynchronous discussions and virtual learning environment play an important role in educational activities. Innovative teaching methods include verbal (online discussions), visual (multimedia presentations of web-pages, web-sites, applications), visual behaviour experiment and practical (web-quests, cyberguides, computer-based projects). The leading role in the informatization of professional training for future linguists is played by the latest software (E-Prime and Matlab) and modern linguistic multimedia laboratories (data processing laboratories, forensic linguistics laboratories, sociolinguistics laboratories, tracking laboratories, psycholinguistic laboratories), which are used for both teaching and independent work of students. The main forms of formative and summative assessment in professional training of specialists in linguistics at British universities are essays, dissertations, seen examinations, unseen examinations, portfolios, creation of online resources (web-sites). The research proves that the establishment of such linguistic laboratories in Ukrainian universities will enhance the level of organization of linguistics students’ independent work, encourage them towards personal success and provide optimal conditions for their professional training. The creative combination of traditional and innovative teaching methods and technologies contributes to focusing the educational process to the student’s personal success and developing his or her academic autonomy.
