The academic paper deals with the mechanisms of іnternalization of information flow using techniques of visualization. Information competence is an integral part of a foreign language teacher’s professional competence and translator’s and interpreter’s professional competences. Any information is divided into two types: according to the presentation form and the method of obtaining information. Knowledge, that has passed the stage of personal appropriation (internalization), is especially important. The classification of visualization techniques includes: Mindmap, Timeline, Infographics, Scribing. Each type of visualization has its own peculiarities and advantages. Mind maps represent the process of thinking through schemes. Timelines help students understand and memorize quickly the temporal relationships of events. Infographics in the form of interactive posters, tag clouds, visual organizers present information logically, quickly and clearly. Scribing is the latest technique to introduce new information. It is a dynamic, simultaneous process of information presentation and its visual display in real time. Visualization acts as an intermediate link between the educational material and the learning outcomes. It develops a number of professional sub-competences. These innovative techniques help students simplify and optimize processes of perception and cognition
