With the increase in the number of multinational peacekeeping, antiterrorist, search and rescue operations, it is significant for faculty members to understand the essence and structure of an officer’s readiness for foreign language professional intercourse. In this study, we examine Ukrainian cadets’ (future officers’) perceptions on importance of the studied phenomena and personality traits necessary for effective foreign language professional intercourse. Analysis of theoretical and practical foundations of an officers’ readiness for foreign language professional intercourse has been carried out. The motivational-emotional, cognitive-conceptual and functional criteria, their indicators and characteristics of the levels of its formation (initial, medium and sufficient) are specified. The total number of participants involved through questionnaires and interviews is 524 persons. The obtained data were subjected to statistical analysis, followed by qualitative interpretation and meaningful generalization. Recommendations for the faculty members are provided. This study has implications for both future educational decisions and potential areas of research.
