Abstract

The modernization of an intended teacher training process involves increasing the requirements for their professional level to implement the New State Education Standard. The process of national education integration into the European educational space takes place nowadays. Considering this, the issue of building English-speaking competence in intending higher education institution teachers is relevant. The article deals with researching the modern process of developing English-speaking competence in the professional training of intending higher education institution teachers. Therefore, the paper aims to study the peculiarities of intending university teachers’ English-speaking competence building during their study at higher education institutions in Ukraine. To achieve the aim of the research, a set of methods was used: theoretical: analysis of scientific psychological and pedagogical sources; empirical: questionnaires, interviews; graphics. The results of the research made it possible to define the reasons for building English-speaking competence among intending university teachers at higher education establishments that aimed at increasing the level of English-speaking competence of Ukrainian postgraduate students. Searching the problem provides opportunities to determine the main factors that influence the development of English-speaking competence and the ways to improve university teachers’ English-speaking competence.
