This article is about the impact of the educational environment on the formation of professional foreign language communicative competence of the future teacher of a foreign language, in particular, the formation of skills of responsible speech behavior of students during training at higher school. The authors note that communication is the central problem of pedagogy and it is a necessary condition for the formation and development of the personality. several definitions of the notion "communication" are given. Basic functions of pedagogical foreign language communication are studied. The main functions include the following: information, educational, people’s cognition of each other, the organization of subject activity, the realization of the need for contact with another person, opening the child for communication, the function of participation. Thus, pedagogical foreign language communication the authors define as the interaction of teachers with students in the process of training activities, professional in goals and objectives. According to the authors of the article in the activities of the modern foreign language teacher the dialogue should play the key role. Therefore, pedagogical activity of a dialogical kind is put in the forefront. The assimilation of the dialogical type of professional activity by the foreign language teacher is the problem the relevance of which will only increase. Methodological literature shows three different approaches to the definition of the role and place of the dialogue in teaching a foreign language. The dialogue is seen as a means of second language acquisition (language material); as a form of organization of the educational process in a foreign language; as one of the types of speech activity. The authors believe that modern educational environment should contribute to the effective pedagogical interaction, teaching the culture of communication, the formation of professional pedagogical discourse. And this is connected primarily with the fact that at present the educational environment of the university as a condition for the existence of the educational system "is experiencing" an era of competence transformation of all its components, including communication.
