Аннотация

The rapid transformation of contemporary education, characterized by digitalization, technological innovation, and increasing professional demands, necessitates the continuous development of teachers' pedagogical culture. This study investigates the theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, and developmental mechanisms of pedagogical culture among future English language teachers. Pedagogical culture is conceptualized as an integrative professional quality that combines pedagogical knowledge, ethical values, reflective thinking, communication skills, creativity, and strategic leadership. The research substantiates an integrative stage-based model of pedagogical culture development consisting of four interconnected stages: conscious methodological decision-making, ethical stabilization, creative innovation, and strategic professional leadership. Particular attention is devoted to the role of reflective practice, methodological self-development, ethical responsibility, and adaptive artificial intelligence technologies in supporting professional growth. The findings indicate that pedagogical culture develops through a continuous and systematic process of reflection, innovation, and professional self-improvement. The proposed model contributes to the advancement of teacher education theory and provides practical recommendations for the preparation of future English language teachers in the digital era.
