USE OF AUDIOVISUAL METHOD IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENGLISH- SPEAKING SKILLS OF YOUNG LEARNERS IN UZBEKISTAN

Teaching a foreign language to primary schoolchildren requires the use of a non-traditional approach in the classroom in order to attract children\'s interest in the language, as well as to facilitate the educational process. Since learners at this age are not able to go deeply into the grammar rules of using the language being studied, it is necessary to give them the opportunity to hear authentic speech from the very first lessons. Repeated listening to authentic dialogues, watching short videos where native speakers communicate with each other in different situations, using the heard phrases in role-playing games in the classroom contributes to the formation of young learners’ listening and speaking skills. The audiovisual method can be an effective tool that will help the teacher organize an interesting and memorable lesson for young learners.
