Using digital educational technologies to build grammatical knowledge in primary school students

Abstract

Abstract: The integration of digital educational technologies in primary education has emerged as a powerful approach to enhancing grammatical knowledge among young learners. Traditional grammar instruction often relies on rote memorization and repetitive drills, which can lead to low engagement and limited retention. Digital tools, such as interactive apps, gamified platforms, multimedia resources, and digital storytelling, provide interactive, visual, and personalized learning experiences that make grammar concepts more accessible and enjoyable for primary school students (typically aged 6-10). This thesis explores the relevance, methods, and outcomes of using these technologies to build grammatical competence, including parts of speech, sentence structure, tenses, and basic syntax. Results indicate improved motivation, engagement, and grammatical accuracy when technology is thoughtfully integrated. The study draws on international and Uzbek pedagogical research to highlight practical applications and challenges in primary classrooms.
