Development of language personality of junior pupil at mathematics and computer science classes

Abstract

Development of the speech culture of junior students is one of the tasks of the modern elementary school. This pedagogical and scientific problem is exacerbated also by the fact that generally first-graders come to school with already developed incorrect language skills. Therefore, the teacher’s task is to recognize speech problems, correct them, form child’s stable skills of normative speech, including during the classes of mathematics and computer science. For this purpose it is necessary to organize the speech activity of students so that the process of development of the culture of oral speech occurs in a comprehensive and systematic way.
We highlight several conditions for successful development of the speech culture of junior students during the classes of mathematics and computer science. The first condition: the methodology of developing a culture of speech should take into account situations that would determine the motivation to learn speech norms, put the student before the need to use normative speech, increase their own level of speech culture, expand the lexical stock, recognize speech problems of others and be able to correct them etc. It is important for a teacher to be a role model of high speech culture, as well as an example of professionalism, which, whenever possible, will remind children about the culture of speech, correct their mistakes, and take care of forming stable norms. The effectiveness of the process of forming the culture of oral speech of younger students depends on appropriately selected methods and techniques, innovative forms of teacher’s work in the classroom.
The next prerequisite is that the development of the language culture of junior students should take place not only in the Ukrainian language or literary reading classes, but also during other lessons, such as mathematics and computer science. It means creating a friendly speech environment that will determine diversity, richness, and correctness of baby’s speech.
