IMPLEMENTATION OF TRADITIONAL AND INNOVATIVE METHODS OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

The article analyses traditional and innovative methods of foreign language teaching for future foreign language teachers. The aim of the article is to analyse methods of foreign language training for future teachers in modern higher education institutions. The main task of transforming and modernising contemporary higher education in accordance with European standards is to comprehensively improve its quality with a focus on compliance with state standards and the needs of society. One of the important factors in improving the quality of education is the foreign language training of future teachers. It has been determined that traditional methods of teaching foreign languages do not always meet the needs and interests of students. The implementation of innovative modern methods creates conditions and opportunities for the effective formation of foreign language competence in future teachers and is a powerful tool for modern professional education. The introduction of the professional standard for primary school teachers (2024) has led to the search for new methods for developing the language and communication skills of primary school teachers (the ability to provide foreign language teaching and communication, proficiency in a foreign language and its features, the ability to express one’s thoughts in a foreign language, facilitating the acquisition of a foreign language by students, communicating in a foreign language in order to improve the professional level and motivation of students, and maintaining the appropriate level of foreign language proficiency necessary for professional activities. Innovation in this context involves taking into account and overcoming possible difficulties in learning a foreign language through the use of new, modern tools. Interaction between participants in the educational process is an important factor in the effectiveness of foreign language training, which influences the formation of communicative competence, confidence and the achievement of learning goals, as well as the formation of professional qualities in future primary school teachers. The study of foreign language subjects ensures that future primary school teachers develop the ability to navigate the information space, use information and communication and digital technologies, and integrate and apply subject knowledge as the basis for the content of the language and literature (foreign language) educational field of the State Standard for Primary Education.
