Methodological approaches to the integration of web resources in teaching German to primary school students

Background. The ongoing process of digitalization in education highlights the need to use digital tools and resources to improve the quality of education. The teaching of foreign languages, including German, requires particular attention, as language serves not only as a means of communication but also as an instrument for intercultural interaction. The integration of web resources into the process of teaching German to primary school students enhances the interactivity and accessibility of learning, supporting the personalization of educational trajectories. The use of multimodal digital tools allows educators to meet the cognitive needs of younger students, thereby increasing their motivation and cognitive activity. However, the effective integration of web resources requires the development of methodological approaches aimed at adapting content to the cognitive and age-related characteristics of students and ensuring pedagogical control over their independent activities.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to identify methodological approaches for integrating educational web resources into the process of teaching German to primary school students, taking into account their cognitive, age-related, and linguistic characteristics.

Materials and methods. The study is based on the analysis of scientific publications on the methodology of teaching foreign languages, an analysis of the functional capabilities of educational platforms, and pedagogical observations of the learning process. The main research methods include a comparative analysis of digital educational resources, an analysis of educational processes, and pedagogical modeling.

Results. The study identified methodological approaches to the integration of web resources into the process of teaching German to primary school students. Mechanisms for selecting web resources were established, and approaches for adapting them to the age-specific characteristics of students were developed. It was found that the use of web resources activates students' cognitive activity, increases motivation, and fosters the development of language intuition. In addition, approaches for organizing teacher-student interaction using digital educational tools were identified. The results of the study make it possible to optimize the learning process and improve the training of primary school students in German.
