The relevance of this study is determined by the goals outlined in the Federal Educational Program of Primary Basic Education regarding the subject "Foreign Language," aimed at fostering elementary foreign language communicative competence (FLCC), broadening students' linguistic horizons through the acquisition of new language tools (phonetic, orthographic, lexical, and grammatical), integrating inventive and exploratory exercises and digital electronic resources into the educational process. The aim of the article is to provide educators with materials on the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) – technology using artificial intelligence (AI) programs, geared to developing foreign language communicative competence in primary school students. Modern foreign language textbooks offer diverse teaching methodologies, interactive exercises, authentic texts, audio, and video materials, facilitating more effective and engaging language skills acquisition, yet they can be further enriched with digital resources. The article elaborates on the structure and components of the textbook, discusses tasks for the development of all types of speech activities, and provides summaries of selected lessons. It is concluded that the integration of TRIZ technology with AI (DALL-E, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, Microsoft Azure Speech, IBM Watson Speech to Text) not only enhances students' speech and language skills but also stimulates their creative thinking. The proficient application of TRIZ technology and digital technologies synthesis in foreign language learning not only contributes to the formation of students' foreign language communicative competence but also inspires them towards exploratory thinking and creative expression of their thoughts. The theoretical and practical significance of the article lies in the examination and supplementation of materials from the "Foreign Language" textbook for educators, aimed at developing foreign language communicative competence in primary school students using TRIZ methods with the use of digital technologies.
