Abstract:
This work is based on a study that reveals the opportunities of the interactive methods used as a means of teaching a foreign language to second grade pupils in the Bulgarian general education school. The article discusses a didactic model combining interactive methods related to exercises and games that are used to place learners in situations of interesting and easy learning of a certain amount of English language skills as a foreign language, which are gradually and purposefully upgraded. In order to find out the opinion and attitude of young pupils to the presentation of the teaching material in English in a more different and interesting way, a research survey among them is presented. As a result of the conducted research and analysis of the obtained results, it is concluded that the application of interactive methods in primary school is particularly appropriate, as they provide for enrichment and renewal of the learning process, increase its attractiveness, and generate motivation for students to learn a foreign language.
