The necessity of using communicative games in teaching English to primary school children is
substantiated in the article. Complex of games for different stages of learning are described. Factors
affecting communicative competence development are analyzed.
The teaching of English is a growing focus of many nation states as English is considered to be a key
competence in the information society. Consequently, many nation states focus on teaching English to
children at the early stages of schooling, a strategy that may create both competent citizens and competitive
nation states. This calls for new learning designs and new learning materials for primary school levels.
Early language learning will produce successful language learners, where an early language
start is often seen as an advantage.
There are indications that young learners are more open to and engaged in learning a new language
— and that early beginnings may give them a head start on learning — issues such as pedagogy, teacher
education and feedback, exposure, distribution of lessons and progression are also significant. This supports
the idea that the design of learning material for young learners that address several of these contextual
issues is of great significance to the quality of learning. Unlike most other school subjects foreign language
learning has a long history of integrating different games into learning, using paper, cards and classroom
games. Generally, games in language learning are associated with intrinsic motivation, meaningful
exposure to the target language, as well as perceived associations between children’s language play and
second/foreign language learning.
