Ensuring quality training for qualified teachers is one of the priorities of national education. The purpose of this article is to analyse and systematize the conditions for the formation of foreign language communicative competence, which make it possible to implement the aims of reforming and modernizing the professional training of future primary school teachers. An important component of ensuring the practical implementation of the professional training for future primary school teachers is to determine the organizational and methodological conditions that help increase the levels of the above-mentioned competence, indicated in the article. During the survey, experts were asked to rank 18 specific organizational and methodological conditions aimed at forming foreign language communicative competence. The study revealed certain organizational and methodological conditions: 1) creating a foreign language professionally oriented interactive educational environment as a means of increasing the motivation of foreign languages professional training; 2) interdisciplinary integration of foreign language education content based on the systematic updating and modernization of future primary school teachers’ professional training; 3) activation of students’ foreign language communicative activity by developing critical and creative thinking; 4) ensuring the constant foreign language support for pedagogical practices. According to the first condition, the process of forming a foreign language communicative competence is based on the immersion of students in an interactive foreign language environment, individualization of training through academic counselling (training), mentoring, and tutoring. The development of international relations and cooperation of the university in the context of integration into the global and European educational environment is one of the components encouraging the creation of a professionally oriented foreign language interactive educational environment. The second condition provides for the interdisciplinary integration of the foreign language education content on the basis of systematic updating and modernization of professional training for future primary school teachers, the implementation of interdisciplinary links within the cycles of general and professional training by deepening and systematizing foreign language knowledge. In order to intensify the foreign language communicative activity of students in a foreign language, a systematic, critical and creative thinking of future specialists was developed through the use of problem learning, innovative active and interactive technologies of collaboration, methods, techniques and group forms of organizing activities; thanks to the optimal combination of verbal and computer means of professional communication in a foreign language based on blended learning technology and the widespread use of ICT. Ensuring a continuous foreign language support for pedagogical practices was carried out by enriching the pedagogical practices program with the tasks aimed at forming the foreign language communicative competence of future primary school teachers.

The starting points of primary school pupils in a foreign country differ significantly from those of native pupils. In Slovenia, the knowledge of pupils who are foreign citizens (foreign pupils) may be assessed with different accommodations for no more than two years. The presented research conducted on a representative sample of 697 Slovenian primary school teachers addresses their perspectives, using a questionnaire, on assessment accommodations for foreign pupils. The following research questions are answered: 1) What are teachers’ perceptions of assessment accommodations for foreign pupils; are there differences between teachers who had recently taught foreign pupils and those who had not? 2) Do generalist teachers have different perceptions than subject teachers do? 3) What kind of assessment accommodations do teachers practice for these pupils after the expiration of the two-year period; do generalist and subject teachers act differently? 4) Do teachers perceive assessment accommodations as being just? We demonstrate that teachers who have recent experience of teaching foreign pupils are more aware of the need for assessment accommodations than those who do not. The majority of the  teachers accommodate assessment and grading even after the two-year period, especially generalist teachers. Additionally, some of them have lower expectations with regard to achieving knowledge standards for these pupils. While the majority of the teachers perceive accommodated assessment as being just, they are unsure of whether the period of allowed adjustments should be longer. This raises the questions about teachers’ understanding of educational justice and the application of the principle of justice in practice.
