DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF PROFESSIONAL SPEECH AMONG FUTURE EDUCATORS: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL DIMENSIONS

The relevance of the study is determined by the increasing requirements for the professional training of future teachers in the context of higher education modernization and the need to develop a high level of professional speech culture as an integral component of their professional competence. The effectiveness of pedagogical activity largely depends on future teachers’ ability to communicate professionally, adhere to the norms of the modern Ukrainian literary language, appropriately use linguistic means in various communicative situations, and ensure effective interaction among all participants in the educational process. The purpose of the article is to provide a theoretical substantiation of the essence of the professional speech culture of future teachers, identify its structural components, and determine practical means of its development within professional training in higher education institutions. The study employs a set of theoretical research methods, including analysis, synthesis, systematization, and generalization of scientific sources, regulatory documents, and the content of the educational components «Modern Ukrainian Language with Practicum», «Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes», and «Academic Writing». The findings indicate that professional speech culture is an integrative component of future teachers’ professional training that encompasses linguistic, communicative, and academic dimensions. It has been established that the development of professional speech culture requires the integrated implementation of competency-based, practice-oriented, and learner-centered approaches. The study substantiates the significance of language-related disciplines in developing professional communication skills, mastering professional terminology, fostering academic writing competencies, and adhering to the principles of academic integrity. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive theoretical substantiation of the potential of the educational components «Modern Ukrainian Language with Practicum», «Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes» and «Academic Writing» for developing the professional speech culture of future teachers and identifying practical means of its formation within professional training. The practical significance of the study is associated with identifying ways to improve the linguistic training of higher education students by strengthening the practice-oriented content of language-related disciplines, implementing interactive teaching technologies, and employing modern digital resources in the educational process. The study concludes that the effective development of the professional speech culture of future teachers is ensured through the integration of linguistic, professional, and academic training, which contributes to the formation of professionally significant communicative skills and readiness for successful pedagogical activity.
