The article addresses the pressing issue of speech development of senior preschool and primary school children in the context of the active digitalization of the educational environment. The essence of speech development is clarified as a complex, multi-component process that includes the formation of vocabulary, grammatical accuracy of speech, coherence of utterances, and communicative competence. Modern scientific approaches to the use of digital technologies in the educational process are analyzed, and their potential as an effective tool for childrens’ speech development is determined.
The possibilities of using mobile applications, interactive educational games, multimedia content, audio and video materials, as well as online platforms in the process of developing speech skills are characterized. The expediency of using digital resources for enriching childrens’ active and passive vocabulary, developing dialogic and monologic speech, improving phonetic aspects of speech, and stimulating speech activity is substantiated. Particular attention is paid to the opportunities for individualization of learning, increasing motivation, and enhancing childrens’ engagement in the educational process due to the interactive nature of digital tools.
At the same time, the article outlines potential risks of excessive use of digital technologies, including a decrease in direct interpersonal communication, information overload, and the formation of dependence on gadgets. The necessity of pedagogically balanced and controlled implementation of digital tools, taking into account the age and individual characteristics of children, is emphasized.
Practical approaches to integrating digital resources into the process of speech development are proposed, which can be used by educators in preschool and primary school institutions. Prospects for further research aimed at improving methods of using digital technologies to ensure harmonious speech development of children are identified.
