The article is focused on the problem dealing with the methodology- and speech-oriented training of the future Master students majoring in Pre-school Education. The essence of the notion “methodological work of the educator-methodologist at a preschool institution” has been revealed; it requires, on the one hand, an excellent command of the normative literary Ukrainian language, the knowledge of the speech etiquette formulas, the culture of professional speech communication; on the other hand, ‒ the ability to provide necessary methodological assistance to the educators in implementing the content line of the Basic Component of Preschool Education (the BCPE) “Child’s Speech”, in particular, in developing various types of children’s speech and communicative competencies. The methodology as an independent science is considered in the aggregate of interconnected means, forms, methods and techniques for achieving the set educational goal. At the same time, the notion “methodology” is ambiguous; in the pedagogical science, there is a variety of phenomena: “teaching techniques”, “education methods”, “teaching methods”. The study deals with the “Methodology aimed at developing children’s speech and teaching preschool children their mother tongue” as a discipline within the curriculum of the Bachelor courses. The course “Ukrainian Preschool Linguodidactics” is taught to the Master course students: the theory of the methodology aimed at speech development, the development of speech, artistic speech and communicative-speech activities. The phenomenon “methodology- and speech-oriented training of the future masters majoring in Preschool Education” is defined as a motivational positive predisposition to master the norms of the Ukrainian language in perfection demonstrated by the future masters; the acquisition of the content and teaching methods of the discipline “Methodology aimed at developing children’s speech and teaching preschool children their mother tongue at pre-school institutions” by the undergraduate students (Bachelor courses students); the positive emotional and value-centred attitude to the implementation of the evaluative controlling educational and speech activities of children and educators in the process of methodological work at pre-school institutions, which allows providing educators with, on the one hand, methodological assistance and support, on the other hand, ‒ guarantees the efficiency of children’s speech development. The motivational orientation-targeted, cognitive-innovative, methodologically accompanying, reflexive and appraisal components comprise this training. The methodology- and speech-oriented training of the future masters majoring in Pre-school Education performs these functions: prognostic, stimulating, correctional, value-oriented, emotional. Keywords: masters, pre-school education, methods, orientation, educator-methodologist, Ukrainian Preschool Linguodidactics, speech development, education.

The «Concept of Preschool education» notes that «Imagination is the basis for the active participation of a child in various types of activities. It is included in the composition of already known forms of thinking (visual-effective, visual-figurative). On the basis of imagination, children develop the first manifestations of a creative attitude to reality» [4]. The article considers the views of teachers and methodologists on the speech development of preschool children. The method of speech development of preschool children is also described: the «Binomial fantasy» method. Binomial fantasies are used in two areas of the development of imagination and logic of thinking: - To generate ideas for new objects or the transformation of an existing object; - To get ideas for writing fairy-tale or fantastic stories (speech creation). The article reveals the algorithm of work according to the method, in accordance with two directions.

This paper examines the Chinese language education in Singapore preschools and explains how a change in preschool education policy can help children lay a better foundation for bilingualism, giving them a higher chance of success in later years (Yip and Matthews 2007.

Introduction. Today, one of the main requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Preschool Education is to ensure the speech development in children, which means mastering them of free, coherent dialogue and monologic speech skills as a means of communication with adults and peers. The indicators of successful speech development are skills to build different types of coherent statements. This requirement fully applies to children with minor speech delays. However, in modern speech therapy, the development of coherent speech is made dependent on the elimination of the shortcomings of unformed language structures and involves the use of reproductive techniques, including mainly constant repetitions of speech patterns. Children are simply asked to copy stereotypical schemes when making their own statements, but the attention is not paid to the process of formulating rules and peculiarities of description texts, the understanding of which is very important to be prepared for school. Thus, it is significantly important to revise well-established techniques to learn oral monologue speech when teaching children with serious speech disorders.The aim of the present article is to discuss the conditions for effective development of coherent descriptive speech in preschool children with speech underdevelopment problems.Methodology and research methods. The methodological framework of the research is based on the theory of speech activity and the theory of developmental education, as well as the systematic analysis of the peculiarities of verbal communication skills in children and modern ideas of correctional pedagogy about the structure of speech defects. In the course of the research, empirical research methods and a pedagogical experiment were employed.Results and scientific novelty. Children aged 5–6 years old (n = 60) with the logopedic report “general underdevelopment of speech of the 3 rd –4 th levels” took part in the experimental research. It was proved that it is necessary to teach preschool children with speech disorders not only to speak by analogy and model structures, but also to formulate detailed meaningful descriptive statements. The entry test demonstrated that most respondents have insufficient formation of coherent descriptive speech: 40% – medium level, 38% – low level. More than half of preschool children in the experimental group (53,6%) improved their results through the targeted and comprehensive correctional work, in the course of which they learned practical description skills. While working on description skills, children learned how to highlight and compare essential features of a subject, to combine individual phrases into a consistent message. The priority areas were identified in each speech task to ensure the greatest impact of its performance. The conducted classes influenced not only speech, but also cognitive development of children. Also, the classes stimulated children’s speech and thought activities, contributed to the activation of visual, auditory and tactile perception, memory, attention and observation.Practical significance. The research materials provide a new direction to determine the technologies for the development of coherent speech in children of senior preschool age with speech underdevelopment.

Game technology has been identified as a means to developing the Word Formation Skills of Children with Preschool Speech Disorder. The purpose of the article was to analyze the psychological and pedagogical conditions of word-formation skills for Kazakh-speaking preschool children with speech disorders on the basis of learning theories and contemporary approaches. To achieve the set aim, we have studied psychophysiological peculiarities of preschool children with speech disorder. We have allocated the most significant learning theories and approaches, which promote the assimilation of word-formation. We have come to understand that the indicators of speech development of many modern Kazakh-speaking preschoolers do not correspond to the age norm, which is influenced by word-formation operations. For Kazakh-speaking preschool children with speech disorders it is rather difficult to distinguish elementary forms as the original word, consisting of a stem and a derivative by including diminutive-affectionate suffixes. Key words: Kazakh-speaking preschool children, psychological and pedagogical conditions, learning theories, approaches, word-formation, speech games
