Communicative tasks as a factor in the formation of oral skills at the senior stage of learning a foreign language in a general education institution

the article examines the features of communicative tasks in teaching oral speech in English in a general education institution. The author's model is also presented, which includes a set of interactive exercises to improve the oral skills of high school students. Today, education does not stand still and special attention is paid to the development of communicative competence among high school students, which meets the requirements of the federal state educational standard. That is why the use of communicative tasks within the framework of a communicative approach is becoming particularly relevant and becomes an integral part of the educational process. However, not all modern ELT contain well – structured communication tasks, so finding and using the right ELT is the teacher's task. The research is based on the analysis of theoretical and empirical data, as well as on the use of pedagogical experiment. The theoretical basis is based on modern approaches to teaching English, in particular, the communicative approach and the use of interactive methods. In the course of an empirical study, communicative tasks aimed at developing the oral speech of high school students were developed and tested. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the fact that it makes a significant contribution to the development of methods of teaching foreign languages, as the data obtained expand the understanding of the possibilities and prospects for the use of communicative tasks in teaching oral English. The practical value lies in the fact that the proposed materials and conclusions can be used in the educational process – both in theoretical and practical classes on the development of oral speech, including sections on phonetics, in high school. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the use of communicative tasks in the educational process is highly effective. This allows not only to develop oral skills, but also to build self-confidence in high school students when communicating in a foreign language.
