MODERN APPROACHES TO DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF FUTURE TEACHERS

The article comprehensively examines modern approaches to developing communicative competence among future teachers. The author reveals the essence of the concept of “communicative competence” and considers it as a key component of the competence-based approach. Four approaches used in the modern education system are comparatively analyzed: traditional, activity-based, systemogenetic, and competence-based. The subject-informational, activity-communicative, and personality-oriented components of communicative competence, as well as their significance in the educational process, are characterized. The types, forms, and means of verbal and non-verbal communication are described in detail, along with practical ways of applying them. Based on the theoretical views of leading scholars -L.S. Vygotsky, P.Ya. Galperin, Sh.A. Amonashvili, and others -the scientific and methodological foundations of forming communicative competence are disclosed. Professional abilities demanded by society and effective pedagogical methods for their development - project-based activities, game technologies, research approaches, and non-standard lessons -are examined. The article concludes with practical recommendations aimed at the purposeful and systematic development of communicative competence in the process of professional training of future teachers.
