IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL RESOURCE OF LANGUAGE GAME IN THE FORMATION OF MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCE OF STUDENTS DURING THE PROCESSING OF APPLIED ASPECTS OF PHONETICS AND ORTHOEPY OF THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article describes ways of implementing the educational and developmental resource of language game in the formation of students' mathematical competence while studying the applied aspects of phonetics and orthoepy of the Ukrainian language. It has been established that the exercises and tasks developed and tested in general secondary and higher education institutions for conducting language games during the study of phonetics and orthoepy contribute to the formation of mathematical competence in students, whose intellectual resources enable them to work productively through theoretical material and implement the applied aspect of learning these sections (phonetics and orthoepy) through the introduction of theoretical information into exercises and tasks focused on identifying and solving problematic and controversial issues, substantiating the orthoepic norms of the Ukrainian language, formulating the rules of consonant and vowel compatibility, consonant and consonant compatibility in the Ukrainian language, their modifications, assimilative changes and pronunciation of sounds in speech flow, conducting linguistic observations, experiments with subsequent discussion of their results, as a guided conscious mastery of phonetic processes for compliance with orthoepic norms during communication, satisfaction of professional needs and requests, expression and understanding of thoughts, reflection of the emotional state of speakers.The system of exercises and tasks has been extrapolated into the applied aspect of forming students' mathematical competence in accordance with the requirements of current regulatory documents on education, taking into account that in the future it would be appropriate to use the proposed language games in school competitions, language competitions, extracurricular activities in senior classes of lyceums, schools with in-depth study of the Ukrainian language, as well as during the performance of pedagogical practice tasks. It is emphasised that the mathematical skills and abilities acquired in the process of playing language games in phonetics and orthoepy contribute to the improvement of oral and written speech culture through logical, algorithmic and critical thinking for the correct spelling and pronunciation of words, communication in everyday language practice, as well as in future professional activities.The content of the term ‘mathematical competence of students’ is substantiated, the theoretical aspects of the didactic phenomenon of language games in the educational process are revealed, as well as the significance of the applied aspects of language games when working on key topics of phonetics and orthoepy, devoted to the peculiarities of learning the orthoepic norms of the Ukrainian language, taking into account the stages of cognition, the requirements for the internal logic of learning, the establishment of associative links between phonetic processes and phenomena that contribute to the stability of knowledge, insight into the phonetic nature of vowels and consonants in the Ukrainian language, as well as the patterns of consonant combinations in speech flow, their mutual influence, modification of sounds, methods of their formation and pronunciation, following rhythm and melody, and enrichment of Ukrainian language experience in general.
