This document outlines a proposed project to use ICT tools like computers, the internet, and presentation software to teach English to Ukrainian students. It would involve dividing students into groups to research topics, conduct interviews, collect information online, and create presentations. The goals are to improve English skills while developing research, collaboration, and presentation abilities. Students would go through preparation, research, creation, and presentation stages. The project aims to make English learning more engaging for students and in line with educational standards.

3. THE RELEVANCE OF THE
PROJECT:
The current stage of education in Ukraine requires new methods of teaching for it's
development. Among other is usage of ICT. It develops the ability to extract information from
various sources, process it using modern computer technology, creates an environment that
contributes to the natural need to communicate in a foreign language.
The project is a form of work on current technologies that allows the student to apply the
accumulation of knowledge on the subject. Students broaden their horizons, the boundaries of
language, gain the experience from practical use, learn to listen to English, to hear and to
understand each other while presenting projects. Students work with dictionaries, computer,
thus creating the possibility of direct contact with the authentic language, which is not
possible only through a textbook lesson in the classroom.
Children up to 12 are very dynamic and eager to prove their capacity of successfully fulfilling
any assigned task. They usually enjoy learning, but not in a monotonous environment. They
need their creativity and imagination to be challenged and they need a learning process more
close to the way they naturally learn daily. The idea of sitting down at a desk and keeping
the attention focused to a person or to a book is almost unnatural when it comes to
children. A lesson in a book is usually illustrated by 2 or 4 pages with some static images
which may look interesting for few minutes but they are not able to keep the child’s
interests longer. A child that has to sit down and listen is restrained to a passive position
and he will lose quickly interest and motivation. The solution to this serious problem
that may explain why a lot of children fail in having the traditional school success is
using
