The Education Innovations In The Development Of The Young Learners’ English-Speaking Skills In Uzbekistan

Abstract

This article examines and compares the requirements for the development of English-speaking skills of the young learners in Uzbekistan, Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkey. According to the requirements of the state standards for teaching English in these countries, the author analyzes the effectiveness of using multimedia applications for teaching foreign languages in primary school. The comparison of curricula and state standards of these 4 countries revealed the similar requirements for teaching English at the initial stage, such as the use of new technologies and non-traditional methods in the teaching process. The analysis is carried out on the basis of a questionnaire survey of English language teachers, the young learners and their parents in order to identify the most effective activities that motivate and increase the interest of primary school children in learning English. The survey results show that not only teachers and the young learners, but also their parents are interested in using the multimedia applications in language learning, as their children enjoy learning the language through games, as well as songs, videos, animations and interactive activities.
