In the UK, research training of future linguists plays a rather important role in
developing their scientific culture and mindset, research stance and also fosters respect for
scientific contributions from other members of the scientific community within and outside
the UK. Research training of future linguists in British universities is characterized by diversified
research activities (linguists projects, bachelor / master dissertations, organization of student
scientific conferences, compilation of research bibliographies); prevalence of independent
research activities over classroom work. Linguistic projects can be compulsory and optional.
Research training in linguistics with their help covers all years of study. The structure of
bachelor and master dissertations in linguistics is not significantly different and usually
consists of the following components: a) title page; b) abstract; c) introduction; d) analysis of
recent publications; e) research methodology; e) output data and their analysis; e) discussion;
g) conclusions; h) sources used. British universities also involve candidates in departmental
research projects. This allows future linguists to work side-by-side with their lecturers,
promote their own research portfolios, participate in modern linguistic research and gain
the valuable experience they will apply in their professional activities, in particular in the
research field. The authors of the article believe that it is also important to establish
linguistic circles, which should include meetings with the leading linguists. Based on the
analyzed data, one can determine the following characteristics of future linguists’ research
activities in British universities: a) diversification of research activities (implementing linguistic
projects, writing bachelor / master dissertations, organizing student scientific conferences,
compiling research references); b) prevalence of independent work over classroom work
(1:2); c) active collaboration of British higher education institutions with the Linguistics
Association of Great Britain; d) introduction of financial and individual incentives into
research activities; e) involvement of future linguists in departmental research projects in
linguistics; f) effective development of future linguists’ research portfolio (improving their
skills in using information technologies, teamwork skills and organizational skills).
