The situation is complicated with the lack of communication with native speakers beyond existing capabilities of modern information technology.

The ability of the integrated approach to highlight the drawbacks of the conventional modern primary education, create conditions for increasing the importance of education for pupils are claimed by S. Hapieienkova, K. Hus, V. Ilchenko, I. Kozlovskyi, F. Sharipov, N. Yudina and others. Scientists A. Amend, O. Varetska, V. Pristupa, I. Sasova, B. Shemiakin, A.
