USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING WRITTEN AND ORAL COMMUNICATION OF SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The scientific research examines the issue of using artificial intelligence as a tool for developing written and oral communication of schoolchildren. It is emphasized that education in the context of digitalization and globalization is undergoing a significant transformation, and generative systems open up new opportunities for the formation of key competencies of students. Therefore, by implementing such technologies, the teacher will develop students' skills in text planning, logical argumentation, critical analysis of material, and editing, as well as improve oral communication through role-playing, debates, and media literacy exercises. The study summarizes international recommendations from UNESCO and OECD on the safe, ethical and age-appropriate use of digital tools in school, and also presents examples of the integration of AI systems into teaching the Ukrainian language. Special attention is paid to didactic approaches that combine traditional teaching methods with modern digital technologies that contribute to academic integrity, the development of critical thinking and independence of students. Practical models of lessons and mini-projects are presented, such as news analysis, creation of text products with the support of artificial intelligence and language laboratories, where technology acts as an auxiliary tool, not a substitute for the teacher. The article discusses the risks of excessive dependence on technology, the occurrence of inaccuracies in generated materials, plagiarism and unequal access to digital resources, and also suggests ways to minimize them through logging, prompts, fact-checking, regular reflective discussions and limiting the share of automatically generated content. It is summarized that the competent integration of artificial intelligence into the educational process of primary school improves the quality of written and oral communication, stimulates the creative activity of students, forms their communicative and analytical skills and prepares for effective interaction in the information society, provided that pedagogical support, responsible use of digital tools and adherence to ethical and methodological norms, which ensures the harmonious development of competencies and preparation of school students for modern challenges of society.
