DEVELOPING STUDENTS' LANGUAGE COMPETENCE USING THE "AQUARIUM" AND "PROJECT" METHODS

Abstract

This article examines modern methods of interactive learning, particularly in German language learning, with a focus on developing students' language skills. The authors analyzed various interactive methods such as role-playing, discussions, brainstorming, and multimedia presentations that encourage active student interaction in the learning process.

The study examined teaching methods that can be applied to language skills in the German language learning process. It was found that one of the most effective approaches is the use of interactive methods that encourage students' active participation in the learning process. The choice of methods depends on many factors, including the students' linguistic preparation level, their age, and the teacher's pedagogical skills. Another important component is the selection of appropriate materials that cover language activities and the use of various methods that allow students to actively work with the language and learn it in a real-life context. Particular emphasis is placed on the "project" and "aquarium" methods, which enable students not only to acquire new knowledge but also to actively interact in groups, solve real-life problems, and develop critical thinking, creative skills, and teamwork skills.

Numerous advantages of interactive teaching methods are cited, including increased student motivation to learn the language, the creation of conditions for independent work, thorough assimilation of the material, and the development of students' ability to constructively discuss and resolve conflict situations. It is emphasized that interactive teaching methods enable students not only to acquire the necessary language skills but also to develop the ability to use the language effectively in real life, which is an important aspect for the development of sociocultural competence.
