ПУБЛИЧНАЯ ДИСКУССИЯ КАК СРЕДСТВО РАЗВИТИЯ РЕЧЕВОЙ КРЕАТИВНОСТИ: ОПЫТ МОЛОДОГО УЧИТЕЛЯ

Abstract

Modern education in the 21st century is shaped by the trend of universality. The pedagogical community is preparing for the realities where a fundamental skill of future teachers is the ability to “see the big picture.” However, the dominance of reproductive tasks suppresses the personal and professional initiative of educators. This results in a loss of the ability to express professional positions creatively and independently, leading to a lack of creativity in solving complex pedagogical situations. It is important to remember that the speech of a future teacher is not only the primary tool in educational activities but also an example for students to learn and emulate. The development of the future teacher’s speech creativity through discussion helps mitigate the identified shortcomings. Speech creativity in this context encompasses the ability to engage in dialogue with various audiences (colleagues, students, parents, administration), mastery of intonation and voice tone (as factors influencing engagement), and the ability to speak spontaneously, coherently, and clearly. Achieving these skills for future teachers is facilitated by public discussion as a platform for practicing their communicative competencies. Public discussions offer advantages such as the opportunity to prepare in advance, develop a presentation strategy, and simultaneously prepare spontaneous responses to audience questions, engage in discussions with colleagues, and receive feedback. Thus, the central purpose of public discussion as a means of developing speech creativity is practical training, self-development, and active participation in the academic sphere of higher education. Changes in sociocultural situations, consideration of intercultural communication contexts, and modern educational trends in higher education highlight the challenge of preparing future teachers professionally. Developing the speech creativity of future teachers through public discussion enables the production of prepared and contemporary specialists capable of addressing educational challenges.
