Abstract

Abstract: Teaching the Ukrainian language is considered in the context of the formation of a pupil’s communicative competence, his ability to perform actively productive and reproductive speech activity in an oral and written form, various situations and spheres of communication. A communicative competence is classified as an integral complicated concept which consists of major components speech, lingual, discourse, socio-cultural, active competences. The linguistic-didactic organization of language teaching consists in following competent, individual and communicative-active approaches during a teaching process and in getting completely involved in the communication situation aimed at the development of each component of a pupil’s communicative competence. The technology of language teaching was worked out and tested in the research (personally-oriented, problem, active, interactive, development of critical thinking) as well as linguistic-didactic tools (synthesis of traditional and innovative forms, techniques and means of teaching, a technological system of teaching methods). The technology of language teaching is classified as a system, specially organized, goal-oriented design of an educative collaboration of a teacher and pupils based on the subject-subjective interaction, realization of all technological components, constant feedback, current and final reflection, control and correction of the actions aimed at ensuring a final result. The research results show positive changes in the levels of pupils’ formed communicative competence. Teaching was realized in the process of a native (Ukrainian) language at a general education school.
