Abstract-Development of the educational establishments in Russia, evolution of the teacher's professional standards and integration of the national educational system into European academic space influence all educational participants dramatically.Students have to demonstrate their competitiveness, creativity, mobility, develop and attract their critical thinking and coordinate with the rest of the class and the teachers. As for teachers, their professional standards are being paid a lot of attention nowadays and are still being worked out to reflect and meet the needs of the local and international labour market. To achieve this goal, the authors consider further teacher training courses as an effective mass way to promote active teaching and increase teaching competences. This article considers forms of organizing teacher's professional development, types of training courses, discussion, questioning activities and techniques to prolong the discussion. The authors also define the qualities of discussion participants that are demanded by the lecturers. The selection of educational resources is also given a great deal of attention as an important issue of arranging a discussion.
