The purpose of this study is to explore the distinctive features of teacher trainees’ communication in learning and teaching processes where ICT (information and communication technology) is used. The author presents the teacher-student communication patterns of ICT classes, the characteristics of the educational environment, and the functional applications of ICT tools in 30 lessons of Hungarian language, which have been recorded in classroom observation protocols. Results show that the use of ICT tools in class does not always modify the teacher-student communication. The selected work form and methods play a more important role instead. The more tools the teacher trainees use, the more types of activities occur in class and the more effective the teaching and learning processes become.
