DIFFICULTIES IN TEACHING SPEAKING SKILLS IN PRIMARY
CLASSES
As we know, nowadays good teachers need to change some ways of teaching English
language under school conditions as the old-approaches and longer meet the
requirements of the last year. The historic changes took place in Uzbekistan, since
there have been obtained.In analyzing the views and different approaches of foreign
linguists involved in the study of teaching speaking I’ve tried to give the clearer
explanation about difficulties in teaching speaking skills in primary classes and
learning speaking, identify key species to analyses the ways of teaching speaking and
how to teach speaking in primary schools.English is now an increasingly relevant and
integral part of primary school education for children. In this regard, much attention
is paid to the problem of forming students' communicative competence within the
framework of modern European requirements.Therefore, the issues related to the
formation of language skills and the development of speech skills are considered,
existing methods and approaches to teaching a foreign language are studied and
compared.To effectively teach speaking, it is necessary to define the main goals and
objectives [1.p.185]."Speaking, or expressive speech , is a complex multi-faceted
process that allows you to carry out oral verbal communication along with
listening»[2.p.232]. Speaking as a type of speech activity is primarily based on
language as a means of communication. Language provides communication between
people who communicate, because it is understood both by the one who
communicates information, encoding it in the meanings of words selected for this
purpose, and by the one who accepts this information, decoding it, i.e. decoding these
meanings and changing their behavior based on this information.[3.p.185].
One of the most important tasks in primary school is the development of students '
speech. This task has a broad social significance: the child's developed speech will
allow him to communicate freely with the people around him, which is important for
the successful formation of a socially active language personality of a primary school
student.A modern school should prepare a person who thinks and feels, who not only
has knowledge, but also knows how to use this knowledge in life, who knows how to
communicate, and has an internal culture.The goal is for the student to be able to act
and solve problems in any situation, using priority means-the culture of speech and
the culture of communication.

A child comes to school with a certain stock of words and phrases for expressing
thoughts and feelings. Many children have a poor vocabulary, General
underdevelopment of speech with defects in sound reproduction. They do not know
how to build a coherent story on their own, and the same words are often repeated in
sentences. Everyone needs to learn to express their thoughts well and correctly, to be
able to speak convincingly and vividly. The quality of further education and
upbringing depends on the success of speech development in primary school
children.
The teacher's knowledge of methods and techniques for developing oral
speech in primary school lessons, individual psychological characteristics of younger
students, allows him to correctly organize the educational process for speech
development: selection of exercises that contribute to the speech development of
younger students; extensive use of various methodological materials; modeling
differentiated tasks for students.
The diverse nature of difficulties suggests that they
may be associated with different factors, which means that they can be classified
differently, according to different criteria. So, you can divide the difficulties in
learning to speak into subjective, that is, concerning the student himself, and
objective, depending on external circumstances. In this case, the criterion for such
classification is the dependence of possible problems on the subject of training, in
other words, on the student.Subjective difficulties are manifested in:Psychological
and emotional state of the student;in the amount of linguistic, cultural, regional and
other knowledge that they possess.In other words, subjective difficulties can arise in
any conditions, regardless of the conditions of the external learning environment. As
a rule, solving the problems of this group is particularly difficult, since the teacher
must fully possess a wide range of knowledge in different areas: social, age,
educational psychology, methods of teaching a foreign language, and knowledge of
the language being taught directly. In addition, solving problems of this nature
involves close interaction of the teacher with the class and with the students
separately, in order to be aware of the student's feelings about the educational
process. Ideally, the teacher should also take into account the situation in the family
of each individual student, since the emotional climate in the family has a direct
impact on the student's self-perception, level of self-esteem, motivation to learn, as
well as the achievement of the goal and objectives of learning in General.Objective
difficulties, on the contrary, reflect an external state of Affairs that is independent of
the student. This may include:insufficient material and technical support for the
classroom;large class size;incompetence of the teacher;lack of study time allocated
for learning to speak;inconsistency of the educational and methodological complex
with the goals and objectives of teaching speaking.The peculiarity of this class of
difficulties is the fact that the resolution of some of them is often beyond the control
of the teacher, since these issues are under the supervision of higher authorities. In
this situation, the teacher has to adapt to the existing conditions and use their own
pedagogical skills to fill in the gaps in the educational process.
The problems listed above are not exceptional, of course, and the teacher may face
many unforeseen difficulties in the process of learning to speak, which arise due to
the age, psychological and other characteristics of students. In addition, difficult
situations are interrelated, and difficulties in one plan may provoke others. Thus, the
176
task of the teacher is to prevent possible problems in teaching oral foreign language
speech, as well as to develop solutions to existing ones. The presence of clear
classifications will help the teacher to most accurately determine the specifics of a
particular difficulty and in a short time to determine the system of educational actions
to eliminate it.Many students equate being able to speak a language as knowing the
language and therefore view learning the language as learning how to speak the
language, or as Nunan wrote, "success is measured in terms of the ability to carry out
a conversation in the (target) language."[4.p.141] Therefore, if students do not learn
how to speak or do not get any opportunity to speak in the language classroom they
may soon get de-motivated and lose interest in learning. On the other hand, if the
right activities are taught in the right way, speaking in class can be a lot of fun,
raising general learner motivation and making the English language classroom a fun
and dynamic place to be.One way to tackle this problem is to find the root of the
problem and start from there.
One way to do this is to distinguish your classroom from other classrooms in your
school by arranging the classroom desks differently, in groups instead of lines etc. or
by decorating the walls in English language and culture posters. From day one teach
your students classroom language and keep on teaching it and encourage your
students to ask for things and to ask questions in English. Giving positive feedback
also helps to encourage and relax shy students to speak more. Another way to get
students motivated to speak more is to allocate a percentage of their final grade to
speaking skills and let the students know they are being assessed continually on their
speaking practice in class throughout the term.A completely different reason for
student silence may simply be that the class activities are boring or are pitched at the
wrong level. Very often our interesting communicative speaking activities are not
quite as interesting or as communicative as we think they are and all the students are
really required to do is answer 'yes' or 'no' which they do quickly and then just sit in
silence or worse talking noisily in their L1. So maybe you need to take a closer look
at the type of speaking activities you are using and see if they really capture student
interest and create a real need for communication.Another way to encourage your
students to speak in English is simply to speak in English yourself as much as
possible in class. If you are shy about speaking in English, how can you expect your
students to overcome their fears about speaking English? Don't worry if you are not
completely fluent or don't have that elusive perfect native accent, as Swain wrote
"We learn to speak by speaking" and that goes for teachers as well as students. The
more you practise the more you will improve your own oral skills as well as help
your students improve theirs.[6.pp. 132-134.] Another way to discourage students
speaking in their L1 is to walk around the classroom monitoring their participation
and giving support and help to students as they need it. If certain students persist in
speaking in the L1 then perhaps you should ask them to stay behind after class and
speak to them individually and explain to them the importance of speaking English
and ask them why they don't feel comfortable speaking in English in the class. Maybe
they just need some extra reassurance or they don't like working with certain students
or there is some other problem that you can help them to resolve.

In general, student-student interaction is the dominant pattern of communication in
learner-centred classrooms, since it expands student talking time and fosters student
use of language for learning, as opposed to only demonstrating what they have learnt.
Working in groups on cooperative learning tasks produces many constructive
student-student interactions which, in turn, enhance learners’ educational
achievement, aspirations, motivation, self-esteem, positive attitudes to learning and
helps develop social skills.[6. pp.421–445.].
To conclude, it must be remembered that each speaking task needs to be productive,
purposeful, interactive, challenging, safe and authentic if it is intended to ensure
optimal conditions for effective and autonomous language use.[7. p.88]
So, EFL teachers should create a classroom environment where students have real-
life communications, authentic activities, and meaningful tasks that promote the oral
language. This can occur when students collaborate in groups to achieve a goal or to
complete a task.
In conclusion, we can say, that,these are just some of the problems that teachers
with classes face when teaching speaking activities in the classroom.
