ASPECTS OF THE FORMATION OF GENERAL SPEECH AND LANGUAGE SKILLS OF STUDENTS

Modern pedagogical views put forward the concept of transforming the traditional school, characterized as a school of memory, into a school of thinking by giving greater importance to speech, cognitive activity, independence and search in the formation of the student's personality [10]. It is known that speech is formed along with the development of thinking. Without knowing the principles of speech and thinking development, the teacher will have difficulty in choosing the appropriate means, methods and approaches in teaching the Azerbaijani language. It should be taken into account that the speech of students must meet pedagogical requirements in accordance with their age characteristics. Thus, the requirements of speech include richness, content, logical consistency, correctness, clarity and accuracy. These requirements also include expressiveness and purity of speech. Students should be able to evaluate the expressiveness of speech. Mastering the expressiveness of speech, they understand how the inner world of a person is reflected in language, how human feelings are conveyed through language. Therefore, the teacher should always pay attention to cultivating students' sensitivity to language and the ability to feel the language, because speech should be cultivated in accordance with the norms of the literary language.
