This study is a logical continuation of the work “On the formation of value attitude to the Russian language study at school”, which addressed the issues of language learning in three aspects: as a state, as a native and as a foreign language. In July 2018, Russia adopted the law “On the study of native languages” for the first time. Along with other national languages, for the first time Russian was considered not only as a state language, but also as a national language, requiring special attention and study. In this regard, we raise the problem of the choice of scientific approaches to the native Russian language study at the first stage of education. We study the course of “native Russian language”, define its goals and objectives and propose a list of scientific and methodological approaches to its teaching. We offer the native Russian language study from the position of four scientific aspects: axiological, communicative-activity, linguocultural and hermeneutic. The essence of each presented approaches is analyzed from the standpoint of the degree of study, development, expediency of use in primary school in theory and practice. We connect the conclusions about the success of applying the presented approaches to the native Russian language study, first of all, with the teachers, who should be an example of real knowledge of the Russian language, love for it, recognize and appreciate the richness of the native culture. We note that the introduction of additional hours of the Russian language is not intended to level the gaps in the students’ knowledge of basic course of the Russian language. Native language study should contribute to the formation of students’ perception of themselves as part of Russian culture, to form a valuable attitude not only to the language, but also to its study.

The mastery of all four language skills has become one of the topmost priorities among English as a Second Language (ESL) learners worldwide. Despite multiple efforts taken to master the necessary skills, speaking remains to the most challenging skill for many Malaysian ESL learners. Previous studies suggest that Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL) for speaking has taken its first steps in Malaysian tertiary and secondary levels of education. However, there is still a paucity of research done on MALL at the primary level. The present case study therefore sought to fill in the gap by exploring how the ChatterPix Kids mobile app has helped 5 purposively selected Year 3 primary school pupils develop their speaking fluency. This was done through speaking practices conducted over 12 speaking lessons during the Movement Control Order (MCO) from their perspective. The pupils’ responses obtained through the semi-structured interviews were triangulated using the responses obtained from them through both a focus group and their parents’ feedback obtained through an open-ended questionnaire. The findings were thematically analysed. Seven themes were highlighted which indicate the crucial need to incorporate MALL for speaking among Malaysian primary school pupils. Further studies are recommended to be done on how ChatterPix Kids could be exploited when learning other language skills such as listening, reading, and writing. So far as the study’s limitations are concerned, there is a need to investigate how the pupils’ confidence could be sustained in the absence of the app when speaking in public.

In the 21st century one of the reasons for teachers to pursue continuous professional development is experiencing demanding situations in their lessons, because the concept of mixed-ability teaching has broadened schools being open to diversity. Consequently, different pupils learn together in comprehensive schools and have equal rights to quality education. That also regards language learning. In the present article the authors look upon a situation in which a teacher of English in a comprehensive school has to deal with groups of primary school pupils who have varied needs and preferences for learning a foreign language both academically and socially (for example, having problems with reading and understanding the read material, focusing and keeping attention, working in pairs or groups). Therefore, the use of differentiated activities to enhance primary school pupils’ acquisition of the English language is explored. The chosen research method is a case study in which 14 primary school pupils take part. Data collection methods used in the research are observation (a teacher’s diary to notice the pupils’ strengths and weaknesses of learning English and checklists to gather the evidence of the pupils’ learning achievement) and document analysis (test evaluation forms to record the pupils’ learning results and progress). The analysis of the gathered data shows that the use of the chosen differentiated activities, which are based on the ideas of mixed-ability teaching and inclusive education, has helped the pupils improve the acquisition of the English language The results of the case study allow the authors to conclude that the varied needs and preferences pupils have for learning a foreign language are a compelling reason for teachers to find new ways of teaching to be able to help each learner prosper.

Contextual factors impinge directly and indirectly on second language learning through its influence on attitudes towards, and motivation to learn, a language among learners of a target language. This paper describes language learning situation, bilingual behaviour and academic performance of some primary school pupils. It suggests that learners’ independent use of digital and literacy activities could be harnessed for multimodal teaching where digital learning facilities have not been provided by the school. The researcher believes that such inclusion would encourage autonomous and collaborative learning among students; empowering learners to take responsibility for their own language learning – an attitude toward learning that would enable them overcome low English proficiency levels in the larger society.
