ORAL SPEECH AS AN OBJECT OF LINGUISTICS AND DIDACTIC RESEARCH BY MEANS OF INTERDISCIPLINARY RELATIONS

Abstract

The problem of speech skills development, communication formation has always been and is one of the key ones in the education system. The increase in requirements for the quality and content of higher education in Ukraine is caused primarily by its integration into the world educational space, the emergence of innovative means of mass communication, the dynamic development of social relations, science, culture, and changes in economic life [Klymova]. The tendency to change knowledge-based education to competence-based one is caused by modern social requirements, as it requires the education of independent, proactive and responsible members of society capable of interaction. The competent approach is not only promising, but also focuses the main efforts of participants in the pedagogical process on creating an environment optimal for the student's personal self-realization. The goal of learning a language is to communicate. Oral communication skills are fundamental to the development of literacy and essential for thinking and learning. It is the glue that puts all the components of a language together [Novapedahohika]. Through talk, students not only communicate information but also explore and come to understand ideas and concepts; identify and solve problems; organize their experience and knowledge; express and clarify their thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Listening and speaking skills are essential for interaction at home, at school, and in the community [College Santa María del Camino]. It acquires special importance in an integral combination with a communicative approach, which brings the educational process closer to real communication conditions. The formation of communicative competence will be more effective when using interdisciplinary connections. It is in the process of studying the Ukrainian and English languages that students have the opportunity to notice many commonalities, to find correspondences with other subjects, especially with literary reading, since language is a means of expressing opinions about objective reality, properties and regularities. The realization of interdisciplinary connections contributes to the scientific organization of the educational process and is a stimulating factor in learning Ukrainian and English languages. [Vasylieva, 2013: 16–22] The practical implementation of forms of speech activity is facilitated by timely and sufficient learning of the main functions of the language. In order for speech to develop harmoniously and fully, it is necessary to systematically teach students four types of speech activities in a relationship (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) [Vovkotrub : 41]. The method of learning any language is the development of oral communication skills and abilities, the deepening of knowledge of oral and written, dialogic and monologic speech, the peculiarities of speech, determined by their communicative tasks and the communication situation. The necessity of this study is due to the conceptual provisions in improvement of higher education`s content and methods, which include linguistic training "students' acquisition of sufficient personal experience, a culture of communication and cooperation in various activities" [Novapedahohika]. In the scientific community, this theory has evolved from a focus solely on personality changes to a more complex understanding/interpretation of this concept, which encompasses a multifaceted social context ("literate society") [Lukianchuk 2019].
