Using improvisation to develop communication skills in future teachers

Abstract

The article explores the role of improvisation in the process of developing communication skills among student teachers. Improvisation, as an active learning method, provides unique opportunities for developing interpersonal skills, adaptation to changing environments, and emotional control. The author conducted an experimental study during which students of the Faculty of Education participated in specially designed improvisation training. The results showed significant improvements among participants in the areas of self-confidence, communication effectiveness, and creative thinking ability. The improvisation approach demonstrates its potential as an effective means of developing the communication competencies necessary for successful teaching.
