This article reviewed existing literature on developing future English Language teachers’ competence in writing in higher pedagogical institutions. Competence is defined as professional teachers’ qualities such as openness, ability to adapt to new ideas, tactfulness, acquirement of their emotional state, ability to identify, analyse and compare foreign and local culture phenomena. It should be mentioned that competence in writing arises as an effective way of developing the personality of future teachers. Furthermore, the research marks out objective and subjective factors that influence the development of future English language teachers’ competence in writing. Objective factors include reconstruction of the process of foreign language teaching, usage of interactive teaching methods, use of authentic texts, periodical control of students’ knowledge, skills and abilities, teacher’s personality etc. Among subjective factors, we distinguish students’ qualities, analyse and compare cultural phenomena. Pedagogical conditions that influence the development of teachers’ cross-cultural competence include simulation of cross-cultural written communication situations in the educational process. Additional factors include teachers’ orientation on cross-cultural dialogue values that disclose not only cognitive and emotional aspects but also pedagogical and personal tolerance.
