A NEW WORD IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING AT SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES

The importance of finding the new creative approaches in English language teaching can’t be doubted. Especially now, when Ukraine is building closer relations with most developed countries. The Russian invasion of Ukraine also increased the significance of learning English. Millions of refugees from our country found it difficult to live in unfamiliar cities where they had to communicate with local people either in English or other languages. English is considered to be a global language, so it is easier for most people to master it and communicate with foreigners without any difficulties. Unfortunately, according to the recent survey only 1.1% of Ukrainians are fluent in English, and 43.8% of respondents do not know the language at all [1]. Another research shows that 23% of our people can read, write and communicate in English at regular or even professional levels [2]. According to these pieces of research it is clearly seen that Ukraine is one of Europe’s worst countries at speaking English
