METHODS OF DEVELOPING PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS BASED ON MODERN APPROACHES
Abstract
This study explores effective methods for developing primary school students’ speaking skills in English based on modern pedagogical approaches. The research emphasizes the importance of communicative competence and learner-centered instruction in early language education. Various interactive techniques such as role-play, pair work, and problem-solving activities were applied to enhance oral communication. Data were collected through classroom observation and questionnaires. The findings revealed that the use of interactive methods increased students’ speaking activity and motivation. The study also highlights the teacher’s role as a facilitator in communicative learning. The results suggest that modern approaches help students overcome language barriers and build confidence. Practical recommendations are provided for teachers to integrate these methods effectively into English lessons.
