The article deals with the problem of developing the speech and communication culture of future physical education teachers in the context of disclosing the essence and content of the conceptual and terminological apparatus of the study. It is noted that future physical education teachers should have a high level of speech and communication culture to transfer their own communicative experience to children and ensure a quality educational process. The results of the analysis of the scientific and pedagogical literature showed the lack of a holistic and clear view of scientists on a single definition of key concepts. The content of the concepts «culture of language», «culture of speech», «speech culture», «communicative culture», «communication», which determine the speech and communication culture of future physical education teachers, is clarified. The author's interpretation of the speech and communication culture of future physical education teachers as the ability to use language means (lexical, grammatical, phonetic, etc.) in different conditions of communication in accordance with the purpose and content of speech to establish mutual understanding with school-age children and their parents, administration and colleagues in the educational institution is presented. In accordance with the content of the concepts, the components of the structure of future physical education teachers' speech and communication culture are highlighted: individual and personal (individual characteristics, ideals, attitudes, values, moral qualities, ethical norms); motivational and volitional (needs for self-knowledge, self-improvement, self-expression, communication); socio-psychological (empathy, self-perception, reflexivity, awareness of social role, etc;) individual-communicative (interconnection, mutual understanding, ability to establish and maintain contact, feedback, language competence, culture of thinking and speech, speech activity, communicative knowledge, skills); practical and active (correct use of the norms of the literary language, as well as compliance with the rules of speech etiquette).
