The teacher will support language learning by providing language input at text level, through stories, songs, role-plays, worksheets, craft task so that students have highest motivation to learning English language and can improve communication skills.

3. To improve pedagogical skills of teachers in the context of the updated curriculum in the English language subject is very important to me, because  I teach the future teachers and educators. 

4. New approaches. When I studied at school I remember that we work with grammar and vocabulary on the lesson. But now

Communicating in English is presented as a key skill in a global world where English is often the language of business, academic and international communication which can provide access to new opportunities and gives learners the chance to make choices about how they develop their future careers. There are different definitions of communication:

1. The act or instance of communicating, the imparting or exchange of information, ideas or feelings (Collins Dictionary);

2. The imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using some others medium (Oxford Dictionary);

3. The act of prosess of  using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors, to express or exchange information or to express your idias, thought, feeling, ent. To someone else (Merriam-Webster Dictionary);

4. The imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing or using some others medium and means of sending or receiving information such as telephone lines or computers (Google).

The subject programme is aimed at the development of all types of speech activity:

listening, speaking, reading, writing and use of English . The grammar is studied within the lexical topics.

That`s why The aim of my work: to help students to create communication skills, critical thinking, in relation to creation the lesson plan.

Effective communication skills. During my pedagogical activity I`ve noted that effective communication doesn`t happen overnight it`s a skill that has to be cultivated and natured. And some skills can be practiced to build and develop communication skills: *active listening * non-verbal communication* asking question * providing feedback *trust and rapport.

     By teaching English I show new strategies that connected with updated educational program to my students. We have specialized subject where we discussed new program, new approaches and techniques.  There is  my group. They are future English teachers. Motto of my groups ‘Don`t be scared about making mistakes. At the beginning, of studying English, some of them has barriers: can`t speak English, difficulties by speaking, fear be making mistakes, I can do it, I can`t pronounce correct and enc.  I`ll tell you How we improve communication skills in our college with my student: *Improve grammar and listening skills * vocabulary* read books, watch video and listen to music * use phonetic exercises * play games*  talk to yourself in English * teach each other * speak with native speaker in some course or in our English club. I`ll share with you some techniques that I used in my practice of teaching younger teachers and educators:

1.     Greeting. At the beginning of the lesson we are greeting each  other. Using smiles students tell each other good day with different emotions. 

2.     Who am I?. After that I presented about myself using some pictures or numbers. I have some numbers 3,32,2008. Student should guess, how these numbers connected with me. 

3.     I`m …. And I Like….. (mimic). For me is very important to know with whom I`ll work. I ask students say the name and show me some interesting information about their hobby. 

4.     What is the theme of our lesson? I`ve a box. Students should guess what is it in my box. (ex. box with cat- the theme is Pets). This technique I used that my student not I name the theme of the lesson.

5.     Sentences without words (word order). Each student becomes one word and  should show this word.

6.     At the beginning of the  lesson I use conversation card, loap game, cards for describing people and enc.

7.     “5 minute activity” – Students have only 5 minute and they should write 3 words in each category.

8.     “Odd man out” – Students see 4 words. One word doesn`t go with the rest for the same reason. Students should spot the odd one and highlight.

9.     Board game is a good activity. Students through the cube, move the chip forward and answer question or do some tasks.

10.  Logic game. Students read the text and recognize how, hwo, where, and when someone do something.

11.  Ball with irregular verbs is very interesting and easy way to learn verbs.

We learn all types of suffixes using some types of flowers (rose, tulip, lily). We learn grammar using detective story. Students search answers like detective.

«Magic is believing in yourself ,if  you can do that, you can make anything happen»    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Believe in yourself and your student.
