Abstract
This article provides an in-depth analysis of the role of linguistic competence in the development of independent thinking in primary school students and its integrative effect. The study highlights the methods of forming students' thinking, speech culture, communicative and creative abilities by combining the language learning process with other subjects and social activities. The author demonstrates the pedagogical importance of jointly developing linguistic, cultural, and social competencies through an integrative approach. The article also recommends methods for strengthening students' critical thinking and creative approaches through interactive activities, reflective tasks, and problem-based tasks. The results of the study show that the comprehensive development of linguistic competence serves as an effective tool for educating independent, active, communicative, and creative thinking individuals in primary school students.
