The article analyzes the pedagogical characteristics of preparing teachers to develop students’ socialization and speech-communicative competencies based on the 4K model. The research focuses not on the external methodological features of the 4K model, but on teachers’ readiness to manage communication, organize collaboration, ask critical questions, encourage creative problem-solving, and conduct reflective assessment. The literature review systematizes scholarly perspectives on dialogic education, communicative competence, social learning environments, the professional training of prospective teachers, and working with new-generation textbooks. Based on the theoretical analysis, the conceptual, content-related, procedural, diagnostic, and reflective characteristics of teacher preparation based on the 4K model are identified.
