them. Writing is improved in the direction from the ability to write up to self-writing on a given
or arbitrary topic. As noticed by Ur, teenagers have a reputation for being the most difficult
learners[4.p.85] Although their potential is bigger than the young children, they seem to have
lack of motivation, are less liable to teacher’s encouragement and not easy to supervise. It takes a
lot of time for the teacher to gain their trust and respect. Most of the adolescents do not want to
familiarize with the tutor to not be seen by the peer-group as a teacher’s favourite student.
Adolescent learners are keen on participating in making decisions which are closely related to
the lessons material and the learning program. Abstract thoughts help teenagers in developing a
sense of social consciousness and justice, moreover, they make it easier for teens to decide if
their choices are right by their morality. Following Piaget, adolescents can consider situations
logically, taking into account their cause and effect concepts and use symbols through the means
of broad imagination[5.p.96]
At the middle level, the student can think not only concretely, but also abstractly and can learn
oral speech not only with the help of visual but also verbal situations, choose and combine
language material and speech patterns according to a pre-learned method of action. The goal of
teaching a foreign language in high school, according to the program, is to master students'
ability to communicate directly with native speakers in the most common everyday situations
and read simple authentic texts to extract information about the country of the language being
studied, culture and life. Studies such as those undertaken by Leacock, Rist, and Rosenthal and
Jacobson suggested that teacher expectations can strongly influence both the cognitive and the
affective development of children.[6.p.73]. This implies that schoolchildren achieve a minimum
sufficient level of communicative competence at which the upbringing, development and
education of schoolchildren take place using the means of the language studied”. Textbooks in a
foreign language for the middle stage of education have a clearly expressed communicative and
socio-cultural orientation. Their contents are texts from every day, educational, labour and socio-
cultural spheres of communication. A major role at this stage of training is given to the
independent work of students since the number of instructional hours in a foreign language (3
hours a week) is not enough for mastering oral speech. For this reason, more attention is paid to
reading, and this type of speech activity provides for the achievement of a higher level of
language proficiency in comparison with other activities. As Rutter et al. noted, "The only way
to be sure that school practices influence children's behaviour and attainments are to alter those
practices and then determine if this results in changes in the children's progress."[7.pp.1-29]. The
result of the training is to achieve a basic level of language proficiency. In high school, this level
characterizes a graduate of grade 9.
Thus, we studied the main features of teaching English to children of middle school age and
concluded that the main goal of teaching a foreign language in the middle the stage is to master
students' ability to communicate directly with native speakers in the most common everyday
situations and read simple authentic texts to extract information about the country of the
language being studied, culture and life, which implies that students reach a minimum sufficient
level of communication Noah competence, which occur upbringing, development and education
of schoolboys using the target language, the development of communicative competence. At the
middle stage of teaching a foreign language, this is all achieved through the active development
of reading skills, monologue and writing. Bloom, however, cited the results of research
indicating that by using mastery learning techniques the achievement levels of the slowest pupils
can be improved without impairing the progress of the more able students.[8.p.82]
