This article analyzes the relevance of developing speech competence among primary school students and examines modern approaches to this process. Particular attention is paid to the role of interactive methods, game-based technologies, an integrated approach, and multimedia tools in the formation of students’ speech competence. The study highlights that the effective use of contemporary pedagogical technologies contributes to improving students’ communicative skills, enriching vocabulary, and developing coherent and expressive speech in the context of primary education.
