Developing Linguistic Competence of Basic School Students

Abstract

The article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations for developing linguistic competence among basic school students in the context of modern foreign language education. The importance of linguistic competence as the structural basis of communicative ability is emphasized, alongside the role of effective teaching methods such as communicative, task-based, lexical, and integrated approaches. The study analyzes how these methods contribute to forming accurate and meaningful language use and proposes pedagogical strategies suitable for Kazakhstan’s competency-based educational standards.
