Human capital development in Ukrainian education system by means of language integrated teaching.
Abstract
The present research is aimed at focusing on integrated teaching the Ukrainian students speaking English as a future investment in human capital development. The one-year long pedagogical experiment was conducted in five teaching stages in which 120 participants from 9-10 years old took part. To measure the students’ progress and to prove the validity of the offered integrated teaching method, the pre-test and post-test measurements on the students’ English communication skills were conducted. The data were processed by an arithmetic average, Bespalko’s knowledge diagnostics and Student's t-test. The research showed that the students progressed in spoken English, English culture, simultaneous use of verbal and non-verbal means of communication and patterns of moral-relevant behavior.
