Pedagogical conditions of using a Wimmelbuch at English lessons at primary school Problem setting in general. Knowing foreign languages is a necessary part of life and an important pre-condition for personal, cultural, professional and economic contacts in modern society. The expansion of international relations of Ukraine and its collaboration with other countries of the world require the substantial changes in foreign language education and, above all, in the methodology of learning a foreign language. That’s why it is necessary to organize the learning process in such a way that schoolchildren are able to use English in real life communication situations and not only in training but also while getting knowledge. The foreign language is learnt from the first form since 2012 and bases for creating favourable conditions for its mastering are noticed in the legal documents, such as the Law of Ukraine «On Education» (1991), «On General Secondary Education» (1999), National Doctrine of Education Development (2002), the State Standard of Full Secondary Education (2004), the Concept of Special Education (2003), «The West-European Recommendations on Language Education…» (2003). Legal documents make it possible to pass to a new stage - the sustainable system development of studying foreign languages, that is characterized by the transition to a new paradigm of education - personality and activity, based on competence, cognitive and communicative, and activity approaches. So, the problem of learning a foreign language as a means of communication is particularly important in modern school and requires new approaches to the educational process, improving its forms and methods. One of the reserves to intensify the process of learning a foreign language is using visual teaching aids. The latest papers and publications on the problem. Nowadays much attention is given to the problem of forming and improving foreign language communication skills of primary schoolchildren in scholarly works and case studies. So, the search of ways to improve the efficiency of foreign language teaching to primary schoolchildren is investigated by N. Biriukevych, O. Kolominova, O. Metolkina, O. Petrenko, V. Redko, S. Roman and others. The problem of the specific of communicative phenomena is studied by such educators as D. Aholtsova, M. Bovtenko, O. Bihych, L. Byrkun, I. Hrechykhin, V. Demiankov, Yu. Karaulov and others. The problem of forming and testing foreign language communicative competence is considered by S. Baluian, O. Vasilieva, H. Lytvynenko, L. Nevirko, and the development of lexical competence is studied by I. Batsenko, S. Shatilova, H. Kytaihorodska, M. Shmit and others. The relevance of the article is conditioned by the lack of a complex analysis of the problem of implementing a Wimmelbuch (as visual teaching aids) in teaching a foreign language to primary schoolchildren.
