Formation of the communication culture is an urgent problem arising in the process of the future teachers' training, since their professional activities are connected with communication with various subjects of the educational process (students, parents, administration, representatives of various organizations, etc.). The purpose of the article is to highlight the problem regarding the formation the future teachers' culture to professionally communicate, methods of training in the discipline “Culture of the Ukrainian language” using interactive learning tools that facilitate the formation of the designated phenomenon. The state of the future teachers' proficiency in the culture of professional communication was determined according to the communicative (presence of communicative skills, skills of verbal and nonverbal communication), behavioural (presence of skills of emotional self-regulation, presence of creativity), personal (tolerance, empathy) criteria. In order to diagnose the above mentioned indicators we used the education tools, as follows: an assessment test of communicative skills (N. Fetiskin), the test tasks “Speech Literacy” (author's development); the test “What do facial expressions and gestures imply?” (I. Shavkun), the diagnosis of “emotional intelligence” (N. Hall), the test “The proficiency in the creative style of activity” (N. Vyshniakova), the express-questionnaire “Index of Tolerance” (H. Soldatova and others), diagnostics of empathy (Ye. Rogov). The experimental methods included the use of conversations, discussions, interactive exercises, games, competitions, etc. that facilitated the formation of the future teachers' culture to professionally communicate during the courses of the academic discipline “Culture of the Ukrainian language”. The results of the final stage of the study showed that the introduction of the experimental methods into the educational process contributed to the formation of the students' culture to professionally communicate due to the initiated training course, which manifested itself in the positive dynamics within the proficiency levels of the formed phenomenon in comparison with the initial stage.
