The article deals with studying the peculiarities in the organization of future
translators’ self-directed learning at US universities. It has been stated that various
researches on the problem prove the underestimation of self-directed learning that leads to
insufficient professional competency of future translators. It has been found out that to
create an environment favourable for self-directed learning educators should consider four
factors, namely, autonomy and responsibility, complexity, duration, “voice and choice”. It
has been indicated that the system of independent learning and teaching consists of three
components – teacher, learner and communication method. The traits of autonomous
learners have been listed. The functions of self-directed learning in US higher education
institution have been presented. Six ways of supporting autonomy, namely, classroombased,
curriculum-based, teacher-based, learner-based, resource-based, technology-based,
have been singled out and analyzed. The experience of the Kent State University in training
future Masters of Arts in Translation has been analyzed. Based on the research performed,
the positive aspects of the experience have been justified and relevant recommendations to
improve the organization of future translators’ self-directed learning in Ukrainian higher
education institutions have been outlined.
