Аннотация: The image of the ideal student, existing in the era of new technologies, ubiquitous Twitter andFacebook, messengers and commercials, undoubtedly attracts the attention of researchers both at homeand abroad. This is a cumulative image of cognitive abilities, business qualities, psycho-physiologicalpeculiarities, appearance and interpersonal skills. This study aims to identify the main characteristics ofthe image of the ideal language student as perceived by the teachers of foreign languages from threeleading universities: Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), Plekhanov Russian EconomicsUniversity and The Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. Therelevance of the study is determined by insufficient research of the problem and qualitative changes whichhave been occurring over the 21st century in education in general and tertiary education in particular. Thearticle attempts to describe and analyse the results of an anonymous survey pertaining to the image ofideal language students as perceived by the practicing instructors of foreign languages. The total numberof respondents was 79, including 42 instructors from Plekhanov University, 22 from the PresidentialAcademy and 15 from MSU. The analysis of the responses showed that the ideal student as perceived bythe teachers is the one who possesses good critical thinking skills, is motivated and disciplined witha serious attitude to study. The obtained results do not allow drawing conclusions about specific featuresof the ideal student depending on the length of pedagogical experience. Each age group included allpossible sets of characteristics. It is noteworthy that teachers from MSU valued both social qualities (teamwork, sociability) and personality traits (diligence, decency); the instructors from the PresidentialAcademy ranked first adequate reaction to critique and willingness to listen and hear; while theircounterparts from Plekhanov University emphasized the importance of good presentation skills, speakingand communication competency alongside the interest in the subject. The statement “There are no idealstudents” also came from among the practitioners of Plekhanov University.
