Recently, due to the development of modern technologies, with the widespread introduction of computers in various areas of human activity has become an urgent problem of communication, which has a special manifestation at school age, when children feel lonely, deprived of communication with people, when their personal self-esteem decreases, as they are unable to analyze their speech activity. In our opinion, these problems can be solved by teaching schoolchildren the techniques of creating a speech self-portrait. The genre of speech self-portrait is a complex type of text, which requires deep linguistic analysis, methodological developments, knowledge of school age psychology, and in the future should take a special place in the functional and semantic variety of schoolchildren's speech, to help students to reveal themselves as a person who can fruitfully communicate with people in any life situation.
