The article deals with the ideas of conceptual changes in ELT and their influence on the tendencies of preparing future foreign language teachers for effective professional communication. The author distinguishes two main tendencies as the most important – the introduction of the competence approach to describing the results of professional teacher’s education and reorientation of ELT methodology on the ideas of language education. The competence approach presupposes professional communicative competence as the main result of preparing students for their future communication in classroom. At the same time, preparing future foreign language teachers for effective professional communication should be based on two main aspects of modern language education – the principle of cultural congruence and dialogue of cultures. As a result forming students’ professional communicative competence should be conducted taking into consideration their facilitating skills of communication in ELT classroom.
