The article focuses on the analysis of expression of speaking, as a prerequisite to socialization, in the curriculum of the Lithuanian language as mother tongue. The theoretical part compares two learning theories making attempts to highlight the importance of speaking to cognitive and social achievements of learners. The theoretical analysis is based on the comparison of the approaches of two learning theories, that is, constructivism and social constructivism. The research part of the article analyses the dual purpose of speaking, i.e., as learning object and as learning tool, and its expression in the general curriculum of the Lithuanian language (as mother tongue) for basic school.
