Аннотация

This study explores strategies for enhancing relational skills among students in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) educator programs. Relational skills, encompassing interpersonal communication, empathy, and collaborative abilities, are crucial for EFL educators to effectively engage with diverse student populations and foster a positive learning environment. The research examines current challenges faced by EFL educator students in developing these skills and identifies effective pedagogical approaches and interventions. By implementing targeted training programs, role-playing activities, and reflective practices, this study aims to improve students' ability to build rapport, manage classroom dynamics, and facilitate meaningful interactions with learners. The findings highlight the importance of integrating relational skills training into EFL curricula and provide practical recommendations for educators and institutions to enhance these competencies. Ultimately, strengthening relational skills among EFL educator students is expected to contribute to more effective teaching practices and improved educational outcomes in multilingual and multicultural settings.
