The scientific work is devoted to the problem of using professionally oriented educational situations in classes on the methodology of teaching the Ukrainian language in secondary education institutions, which serves as a basis for the formation of methodological competence of the future philologist teacher.In the author's opinion, one of the priority conditions for the use of situational methods is preparation for production practice: the systematic use of professionally oriented situational exercises in class brings closer to the real conditions of teaching the Ukrainian language school course and ensures its successful completion in the future. The author explains the relevance of the research from several positions, namely: firstly, compliance with the modern educational paradigm of professionally oriented methods in higher education (attraction of a professionally oriented approach, formation of professional competence, etc.); secondly, the conditioning of the activation of the principles of quality, optimality, efficiency, situationality, intensification in the professional training system; thirdly, the priority of active and interactive learning methods in classes; fourth, strengthening the methodological foundations of practice-oriented learning technology.The purpose of scientific research is to justify the place of professionally oriented educational situations in classes on the methodology of teaching the Ukrainian language and their role in the process of preparing the future teacher of the Ukrainian language for successful completion of industrial practice as a component of the educational program.The author of the scientific work offers a theoretical justification of the problem based on the integration of practice-oriented, professionally oriented learning technology and situational teaching methods, and therefore considers professionally oriented learning situations as an integrated pedagogical phenomenon that accumulates signs of at least two principles - professional orientation of learning and situationality - what exactly in this combination is an effective means of professional training of future teachers of the Ukrainian language for pedagogical practice and independent professional activity.Professionally oriented learning situations become the basis of professionally oriented tasks, as a result of which students answer questions or choose the correct answer from the ones proposed for the described situation; agree or deny the solution of the proposed educational situation; prove their own opinion based on relevant scientific sources from the academic discipline; project a fragment of the lesson based on the described educational situation; analyze the educational situation from the point of view of optimal use of methods, techniques, means, forms of education; resolve the educational situation by referring to methodical manuals; offer several options for solving the educational situation, etc. Conclusion.
