FOREIGN LANGUAGE SKILLS AND MECHANISMS FOR THEIR ACQUISITION FOR PRIMARY GRADES
Abstract
This article examines the content of effective didactic exercises and tasks used in teaching a foreign language to primary school pupils and analyses their role in enhancing learners’ linguistic and communicative development. The study focuses on interactive methods aimed at immediate response during the listening process, as well as the use of visual aids, action songs, drawing dictation activities, and dialog-based tasks. These techniques contribute to activating pupils’ linguistic activity, improving attention and memory, and facilitating the conscious and systematic acquisition of foreign language material. Furthermore, the article emphasizes the methodological significance of the “from listening to speaking” principle, demonstrating its role in the gradual formation of speaking skills. The findings highlight practical approaches to increasing the effectiveness of foreign language instruction in primary education.
