The Peculiarities OF Developing Speech Skills in Primary SCHOOL Students
Abstract
This article discusses ways to develop speech skills in elementary school students through lessons in their native language. It emphasizes the development of both oral and written speech, highlighting key principles of speech development. Article explores the development of speech skills in primary school students, emphasizing both oral and written communication within native language lessons. Despite the increasing importance of language proficiency in global educational frameworks, there remains a knowledge gap regarding effective pedagogical approaches to fostering these skills in young learners. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative observations and quantitative assessments of student performance across various speech activities. Findings reveal that interactive, context-driven teaching methods, such as storytelling and peer discussions, significantly enhance students' communicative competence. Additionally, the integration of oral and written tasks helps solidify language structures and boosts confidence in expression. The results highlight the need for teachers to balance fluency-building activities with structured language instruction. Implications for educational practice suggest that primary school curricula should prioritize speech development through diversified and engaging language tasks, promoting both oral and written proficiency as core competencies for academic and social success.
