Urgency of the research. One of the dominant ways to ensure the effectiveness of process of teaching preschool-aged children of a foreign language is recognized as an integrated approach. It allows to expand the scope of specially organized classes and to bring the children’s perception of a foreign language beyond the limits of objectivity, that is, to form its perception as a means of communication.
Target setting. Studies show that the optimal implementation of an integrated approach in the context of teaching preschoolers a foreign language is its constant inclusion in the life of a child. First of all, we should talk about the use of foreign language material during systematic classes in various areas of educational activities. Furthermore, you cannot ignore the daily lives of children. However, each type of activity, each educational line has its own peculiarities of integration of a foreign language, without which the effectiveness of this process will be minimal.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The idea of using an integrated approach in teaching foreign language has been of interest to scholars for quite some time. A number of scientists are studying the problems of introducing the outlined approach: N. Voloshchenko, I. Vronska, A. Herhel, I. Zymnia, I. Kosarieva, N. Moskovska, O. Nielzina, T. Polonska, S. Sokolovska, I. Fedosieieva, T. Shkvarina et al. However, it is worth noting that we find precisely the symbiosis of the processes of learning a foreign language and visual activity in a small number of educators, for example, O. Bakhtalina, O. Pylycheva, O. Fedotova, O. Shlykova.
The research objectives.Visual activity, in particular drawing, causes a persistent interest in children and a wide range of emotions. Such a reaction can serve as an extremely rich land for the acquisition and expansion of knowledge.
The statement of basic materials. The scientific studies prove that it is possible to increase the efficiency of a foreign language acquisition in preschool years by integrating it into various educational lines and activities of children. After all, the maximum inclusion of the child in a foreign language environment is being achieved in this way and conditions for the alternative use of the knowledge gained are being created. This, in turn, qualitatively affects the recording of foreign language information and releases stereotypes regarding the modification of the grammatical structures of one’s own speech in the future. The peculiarity of drawing in general and subject one in particular as a type of children’s activity opens up many opportunities for the implementation of an integrated approach in the context of teaching preschool-age children a foreign language.
Conclusions. The implementtation of an integrated approach in teaching preschool-age children a foreign language in the process of visual activity has specific features; however, it is a scientifically based and effective process.
Keywords: integration, foreign language teaching, preschool-aged children, subject drawing.
