One of the reasons is the isolation of programme material of modern school in general and of English in particular, from the realities of life, its obsolescence, gaining knowledge for successful mark for homework, etc., rather than their practical application. The situation is complicated with the lack of communication with native speakers beyond existing capabilities of modern information technology.

The ability of the integrated approach to highlight the drawbacks of the conventional modern primary education, create conditions for increasing the importance of education for pupils are claimed by S. Hapieienkova, K. Hus, V. Ilchenko, I. Kozlovskyi, F. Sharipov, N. Yudina and others. Scientists A. Amend, O. Varetska, V. Pristupa, I. Sasova, B. Shemiakin, A. Shpak have proven capabilities of productive integration of economics with objects invariant and the variable component of the school curriculum.
