DEVELOPING PRIMARY PUPILS' SPEECH COMPETENCE THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF AN ENGLISH CLUB AND A DIGITAL PLATFORM

This paper examines how the speech competence of 3rd–4th grade pupils can be developed by integrating extracurricular English club sessions, supported by a printed club coursebook, with a digital learning platform into one continuous learning cycle. The structure and didactic features of the "Rapid Learning" club coursebook and the "Rapidlearningkids" digital platform are described, and their integration is considered at three levels – content, procedural and assessment. The paper also shows how an individual development trajectory is built for each learner and how learning outcomes are monitored at four time intervals. The approach was tested in the experimental work carried out in seven general secondary schools of Uzbekistan.
