The article studies the problems of bringing up junior schoolchildren to acquire the spiritual and moral values at German language classes. The spiritual and moral education of children is of great importance in modern educational environment, which in turn determines the relevance of the problem. The aim of this work is to determine the logical stages of formation morality in junior schoolchildren at German language classes. The leading approaches to the study of the problem are: propositions about the spiritual formation of a person in the cultural environment; propositions about the laws of the spiritual development of the junior schoolchild personality; humanistic propositions based on the value approach to education; ethno-pedagogical aspects of the younger generation upbringing and socialization of the person; linguistic and psycholinguistic propositions about the function of language in cognition. This research uses such scientific methods as the study and analysis of pedagogical literature, documents, publications on the researched problem, generalization, comparison, observation, etc. The result of the research is the rationale for the procedure of spiritual and moral values formation among junior students in the process of learning German. The novelty is due to the insufficient elaboration of distinguishing the stages of moral ideas formation in modern junior schoolchildren in the process of learning the German language. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the new interpretation of the put forward earlier theories about the stages of moral ideas formation in children of primary school age. The definition of the stages of morality formation among junior schoolchildren is also very important for further development of the program-model of junior schoolchildren education at German language classes focused on spiritual and moral values, which represents the practical significance of the research results in this article.
