Abstract: Ongoing development of modern technologies requires high-level skills and abilities in completing the preparation of the student youth to specific situations in life. The educational system needs to use more efficient approaches in increasing essential skills for modern life and work situations. The study's main aim is to specify the appropriate system of teaching essential and more profound skills of the cynological translators for fulfilling their specific work activities. The study's academic importance lies in revealing new connections between the disciplinary literacy and ESP sphere in preparing the cynological translators with practical meaning for future application. The students of distance course on training the cynological translators-assistants were questioned about the essential components necessary for their job completing. The results were verified by the statistical processing method. The results provided support for the conceptual framework, with essential elements of disciplinary literacy for cynological translators. Except for the primary skills applied for developing the specific knowledge, the main element for professional realization is acquiring the specific vocabulary and ability to operate with it in practice. This study's implications might relate to the more various scope of disciplinary literacy of the cynological translators.
