Summary

The scientific and methodological article highlights the problem of the need to develop speech competence through the formed cross-curricular skills at primary school age. The theoretical foundations, methodological aspects (approaches, techniques, methods, forms of work) of this issue are analysed. It was established that the formation of cross-curricular skills is best achieved by using practical exercises for the development of speech competence. The article formulates recommendations for teachers on how to organise the educational process using modern practices, analyses the results of a survey of teachers in the region on the use of various types of speech activities in the educational process, systematises approaches to the formation of cross-curricular skills and competences through a selection of exercises, games, and techniques. The practical significance in the educational process lies in the possibility of using the material by teachers in primary school, in the methodological work of educational institutions and in the system of postgraduate teacher education. The State Standard of Primary Education provides for the formation/development of cross-curricular skills, which are common to all key competences. They are closely related to learning the Ukrainian language, mastering its literary norms, acquiring language competency, the ability to communicate in specific situations of personal and social life, intercultural dialogue; using the means of various types of speaking activities for spiritual, cultural and national expression; enriching emotional and sensory experience, developing creative abilities. The development of speech competencies takes place through the formation of cross-curricular skills. This is the basis for the successful realisation of the learner as a person.
