Communicative competence in training future language and literature teachers

Abstract

The study presents empirical research on communicative competence as an element of professional training of future language and literature teachers. It determines the factor structure (85.530%): F1 “Communicative intolerance” (4.069; 23.938%), F2 “Communicative dominance” (2.491; 14.651%), F3 “Communicative anxiety” (2.219; 13.054%), F4 “Ethno-social compromise” (2.119; 12.465%), F5 “Communicative helplessness” (1.822; 10.717%), F6 “Need for communication” (1.820; 10.706%). The study shows that an individual’s need for affiliation during studies in a higher education institution is blocked by fear of rejection, causing communicative intolerance.
