Abstract

The mechanisms of evaluative orientations formation during teaching of the literature of Great Britain on the basis of development of the novel K. Ishiguro’s Nobel laureate on the literature of “Never Let Me Go” are considered in the article. The role of values in modern education is analysed. The reasons that determining the need for the study of basic values are outlined. The basic directions of the modern system of education are revealed and the principles of formating of the text analysis of the literary work are offered. It was concluded that effective and high-quality solution of socio-political, socio-economic and spiritual and moral problems of society as a whole depends on the correct perception of the ideals of the student, adherence to universal principles and norms. The process of forming students’ value orientations involves the following steps: demonstrating student’s values; awareness of value orientations by personality; adoption of value orientation; realisation of value orientations in activity and behaviour; consolidation of evaluative orientation in the personality orientation and its representation in the status of the value of a particular personality, ie a kind of potential state; actualisation of potential evaluative orientation, which lies in the qualities of the teacher's personality. Thus, assimilation of value orientations in the educational process, developing the support of positively significant values, moves from the ability to realise value to its internal acceptance against the backdrop of positive emotional perception, and to the possibility of its realisation, consolidation, ability to actualise meaningful for activity and behaviors are value orientations. In the course of practical analysis, it was found that K. Ishiguro's work "Never let me go" represents such common human values as: patience, compassion, honesty, guilt for the cause, the ability to forgive, kindness, justice, friendship, dedication, respect, love, trust. Also, we concluded that education plays a key role in the work, acting as a major component of the formation of a mature, comprehensively developed personality, capable of thinking, feeling, and representing the highest human values.
