Abstract:
Vocabulary aspect is commonly recognized as one of the most significant
features of the English language. As a result, the majority of teachers try to teach
vocabulary to their learners in order to improve their language skills. However, because
of the piles of grammar rules that lead the teaching process to the opposite side of what
is said, enhancing vocabulary range can seem confusing and repetitive to some language
learners. So, this article is devoted to the role and importance of handouts and outlines
the specifics of them during foreign language classes. The purpose of the work is
described in detail.
Key words:
foreign language, elementary schools, vocabulary, handout, teamwork,

Nowadays, learning a foreign language has become prevalent in most countries
including Uzbekistan. Almost all schools in our country have the system of teaching
foreign languages. Foreign language study is all about learning how to truly
communicate and connect with others—an incredibly important life skill that can only
be cultivated by interacting with people.(Kendall Dick,2012,How to learn) Those
languages are taught even to elementary schools and, vocabulary is the center of
language learning because, without vocabulary source pupils and teacher can not express
their sentences and can not communicate with each other. Without appropriate use of
vocabulary pupils meet difficulty in learning grammar. The reason is that, good choice
of words leads to a good use of grammar. In learning the vocabulary of the second
language teachers use different methods and tools. A most preferred tool is using
handouts. Handouts are usually used by teachers, which are given to pupils during

classes. Using handouts during the lesson can be more useful than other types of tools.
They are usually a good tool in teaching, as they help both teachers and pupils.
Especially, They help teachers to check the pupils understanding quality of the lesson.
Handouts help teachers to grab pupils' attention to the lesson. To answer the question in
handout, pupils can work individually or with their classmates. It also helps to improve
their teamwork ability. Usually the 3
rd
class pupils are bored in the second part of lesson.
Because they are too young to receive the whole lesson. Handouts and different games
may help teachers to avoid boredom. In Cambridge English, we believe that the key to
helping learners feel relaxed and ready for communicating freely in a classroom is
authenticity.(Maija Kozlovska,2017, Why is it Important to Learn
a Foreign Language?)
It is said that in order to have a creative language skill among young language learners,
teachers should provide them with a communicative atmosphere where they can show
themselves. Teachers should also encourage pupils to construct the language properly.
That is why games and handouts are very important. Using handouts when teaching
vocabulary to young pupils requires experienced teachers who involve children in doing
exercises and learning the new words during the lessons. But as the coin has two sides,
it has some disadvantages also. For example teacher risks losing control during doing
activities. Pupils may make noise or cheat. Another disadvantage is that, after pupils do
their tasks and it is time of checking the answers most teachers change pupils' sheets
among them and dictates the answers. But some pupils change their papers again and
get their own work, then correct their mistakes. In order to avoid such situations, teachers
should check the answers themselves. There may be conflicts among pupils when doing
handouts with group mates. If they have different answers, it is natural that they may
have disagreement. A research shows that the presence of conflict in group work can
negatively impact the students’ enjoyment of that class, inhibit their individual learning,
and increase stress levels.
Handouts can be effective regardless of their type and teacher can be pleased of
their good result when it is done right. So, using handouts among the pupils of 3
rd
grade
when they are learning vocabularies can have both positive and negative impacts on

learning. Due to the potential disadvantages, some research suggests that handouts
should only be used in moderation by including simpler tasks to be completed because
they are very young for such tasks. But as we discussed above they have benefits too. In
that case it is belong to the teachers, and they should know which type of handouts can
be more interesting to their pupils who are in the initial stage of learning. This stage is
very important and fundamental stage of learning language, therefore all materials
should be selected before the lesson, and they should think what they’re teaching and
how can the lesson be more interesting. In order to change the lesson they can visit the
classrooms of colleagues who also teach English and share ideas and materials with
them. This way is also can be more effective in teaching. In short, the most important
thing in learning vocabulary is self-study. The pupils should be more active than teachers
and the teacher can only organize, what activities they have done during the lesson.
