Abstract
The relevance of the study is stipulated by the growing need to train future primary school teachers who are able to effectively use language and communication skills in the context of digitalisation of education. Given the challenges of modern pedagogical practice in Ukraine, it is important to explore approaches to improving language competence in order to facilitate teachers’ adaptation to digital technologies and ensure quality education in the context of rapid changes in the information space. The aim of the study was to conduct a detailed analysis of the peculiarities of forming the linguistic and communicative competence of future primary school teachers, taking into account the current state and potential of the digital sector in Ukraine, as well as the introduction of modern virtual technologies. The study used a number of psychological and pedagogical scientific methods, such as analysis, synthesis, comparison, classification, systematisation and generalisation of information contained in scientific and educational literature on the chosen topic. Based on the generalisation of scientific works, the author proposed a definition of the concept of “linguistic and communicative competence of a future primary school teacher”. The features of the digital transformation of higher pedagogical education are determined on the basis of an analysis of the experience of foreign countries (Great Britain, Estonia). The main problems of digitalisation and digital transformation of vocational teacher education in Ukraine were described. The introduction of online training of future primary school teachers was actualised, in particular in the context of improving their linguistic and communicative competence. The article revealed the peculiarities of using a number of educational digital services and platforms (G-suit for Education, Moodle, Classcraft, Learningapps, Coursera, Prometheus and EdEra, etc.) in the context of improving the language and communication competence of future primary school teachers in Ukraine. The results of the study can be used to improve the curricula in pedagogical universities of Ukraine and to improve the quality of teacher training
