The Need for a Discoursive Approach in Mother Language Teaching
Keywords:
education, discourse, analysisAbstract
This article discusses the theoretical and methodological foundations of the discursive approach, the effectiveness of its application in native language education, as well as methodological recommendations based on experimental lessons conducted in grades 6–7. The discursive approach requires special attention to the development of communicativeness, contextual approach and critical thinking in language teaching. The article presents an example of practical exercises aimed at improving students' oral and written speech through this approach.
