This article highlights the linguodidactic problems of the formation of professionally-oriented dialogical speech within the framework of group work of students of future teachers. The authors put forward theses on the importance of role-based situational exercises in the process of professional and methodological training of students − future teachers of foreign languages, which in turn are an integral part of foreign language practice classes, and therefore should not replace seminars or practical classes on foreign language teaching methods. The objective of professionally-oriented training of students is the intensification and professionalization of classes in the practice of a foreign language, the maximum use of the potential of these classes for the formation of professional and methodological competencies. It should be noted that such a task is to ensure that by the first pedagogical practice, students have already become familiar with some elements of speech pedagogical communication and the basic professional and methodological skills, particularly the ability to teach oral forms of communication. For further professionalization of speech communication, it is necessary to develop exercises aimed at developing role-playing speech situations in pair or group work. The authors of the article analyze speech situational exercises and give recommendations on their application in the educational process.
