Abstract

Initial teacher education requires the development of communicative competencies that enable future educators to address complex and diverse educational contexts. Among these competencies, active listening, oral expression, academic reading, and reflective writing play a significant role in articulating theory and practice during pre-service teaching practice. However, the literature reveals persistent deficits and a fragmented approach to the development of these competencies. A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA protocol. High-impact academic databases (Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, SciELO, and Google Scholar) were consulted, selecting peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025. The final corpus consisted of 20 studies employing qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches, which were analyzed through thematic categorization and comparative synthesis. The findings indicate that communicative competencies function as structural conditions for performance in pre-service teaching practice. Active listening and oral expression are associated with pedagogical mediation and classroom management, while academic reading and reflective writing support informed decision-making and the construction of professional knowledge. Gaps were identified related to curricular fragmentation, evaluative heterogeneity, and the predominance of self-report measures. The review confirms the need for integrated training approaches that articulate communicative competencies as a functional system of teaching performance, particularly in Latin American higher education.
