However, any educational processes happen in certain contexts, which play an important role from the beginning until the very outcome or a fi nal product. Therefore, there is a need for a holistic theoretical approach that would embrace both cognitive and social aspects of the matter under study in a certain context. This presentation offers an introduction of an ecological perspective, which might be used as a theoretical framework and afford an in-depth understanding and analysis of the skill-centered education and preparation of professionals in Ukraine with an emphasis on and application in foreign language teaching and learning.
