In other words, interpersonal communication ensures generation of the social matrix within which education takes place in a broad sense and immediate educational process in a more restricted sense. Therefore, the study of interpersonal communication is of crucial importance for understanding and improving education as a whole. The analysis and systematisation of research directions of interpersonal communication in education have been conducted for the purpose of this paper with the aim of providing a systematic insight into the mentioned issues, and also ensuring the platform for further research.
