Yezhova T.V. DIDACTIC POTENTIAL OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING TECHNOLOGY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION OF SCHOOLCHILDRENIn order to improve the quality of foreign language training for schoolchildren, a search for effective teaching methods and technologies is underway. Improving the quality of foreign language education for schoolchildren, creating a developing and motivating educational environment, and strengthening the practice-oriented nature of learning are largely due to the didactic opportunities and advantages inherent in collaborative learning technology. Collaborative learning technology also serves as an effective means of solving such pressing problems as the lack of productive vocabulary skills and a decrease in interest and motivation for learning foreign languages at school. The advantages of using this technology in foreign language education for schoolchildren include: students’ awareness of the practice-oriented nature of the technology, gaining experience in constructive interaction in various variations (teacher — student, student — student, teacher — group as a collective entity, student — group as a collective entity), mastering communication skills, a culture of public debate, developing the ability to independently obtain necessary information, acquire new knowledge and the ability to apply it in solving specific problems, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual assistance, and responsibility for the results of joint activities. With regular use of collaborative learning technology, the educational process ensures the development of students' communicative and compensatory skills, as well as the full range of universal learning activities.Key words: educational technologies, collaborative learning technology, didactic principles, constructive interaction, group work, foreign language education, foreign language teaching, team interaction.
