Abstract

This article discusses innovative strategies for improving spoken English in the secondary education system. Particular attention is paid to the use of the method of communication, interactive game

techniques, digital tools, assessment of their effectiveness and practical application in the classroom.

Introductions

In today's interconnected world, the ability to communicate in a foreign language is increasingly necessary, and conversational skills are a key element. Traditional methods, primarily involving memorization of grammatical rules and translation exercises, often do not allow oral speech to develop properly. Thus, Modern Foreign Language Teaching is shifting to interactive technologies aimed at the learner, allowing for an exciting experience. This article discusses effective modern strategies for teaching English in secondary schools, identifying their advantages and practical benefits.

The Communicative Approach

The technique is designed to engage students in real-life relationships through activities such as role-playing, discussion, and couple work. For example, the "information gap" activity forces students to exchange unique information, thereby promoting natural dialogue.

The introduction of the game into the learning process has significantly increased student engagement and made the learning process more dynamic. Accessories for heavy equipment:

Key standards: These principles require students to apply real-world interactions, such as dialogue with customer support and discussions, which limits practical English language skills.

Discussion: This activity encourages participants to describe their action scene and develop their writing skills.

Dragons and board games: such activities help to conduct a multifaceted discussion, strengthen vocabulary and grammar in favorable conditions.

Empirical evidence suggests that this informal method of stress reduction is often associated with speech and promotes more frequent and effective use of language.

Interactive Game-Based Techniques

Digital resources have become an important part of modern language education and have contributed greatly to the development of conversational skills. The usual digital tools are:

Interactive online platforms: sites such as Duolingo and BBC Learning English offer fun exercises focused on conversation practice.

Video calling apps: tools like Zoom and Skype offer direct communication options with native speakers, creating an authentic communication experience.

Speech recognition software: this app provides instant feedback on pronunciation and intonation, helping students improve spoken English.

The integration of these digital tools helps create an inclusive environment that supports teacher-led learning and independent learning.

Conclusion

Modern strategies, especially communication approaches, interactive game methods, and digital tools, significantly increase students ' motivation and improve their conversational English language skills. Applied in the secondary education system, these methods lay a solid foundation for the development of integrated communication skills. Future research may explore possible integration of artificial intelligence to further develop individual learning pathways and language instruction.
