Poetry from Shodiyeva Mexribon

Central Asian woman with a brown headscarf, earrings, and a pink and white collared shirt.

Uzbek

Farmers start work at dawn,

Blessing scatters seeds on the ground.

White gold is more abundant than anywhere,

If you bow down, you will get something like this.

The winter-summer table is full,

There is no other woman like her.

No poet can compare,

Hospitable, sincere, native Uzbek.

Simplicity is known from the face,

They are fighting for pride and honor.

What you find is attached to your heart,

The spirit of the ancestors is always in the hands.

He calls the one he meets his friend,

There is no bread here.

The children of this people are hospitable,

The glory of the Uzbek is as high as the sky.

Poetry from Sarvinoz Tuliyeva

Many middle-aged men and women stand onstage in dresses and suits holding bouquets of flowers.
Childhood

Cool air, green grass,
The old street of childhood.
We have a variety of trees in our garden
A few bloomed.

The smell is still lingering,
Bread made by my mother, like me.
When a guest comes, the messages are silent,
Bread goes away in the oven.

Like me, he cried a lot
It didn't happen, it couldn't stay.
If the father stayed at home, the girl-
The wheel of life was turning late.

Weddings without bread, without girls, without grace...
Childhood thoughts...



Nature

Mother Nature declares,
The whole landscape is vast.
Let the eyes be glad to see again,
Sunlight is the same for everyone.

Live, play, enjoy
Sing with friends.
Put your child on your shoulder
Open your mother.

It's hard to say thank you
All blessings are upon us.
Man lives well
There will be more.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION & PEDAGOGY 

Umurzoqova Aziza Yaxshiliq qizi,

Jizzakh State Pedagogical University, 

Faculty of Preschool Education, student of group 542-22, 

foreign language course in preschool and primary education.

 Abstract: The article highlights ways to improve the quality of teaching English by using different methods in general education schools.

 Key words: school, skill, method, education, upbringing, knowledge, skill, creative, classification, innovation, objective , qualification. 

After our country gained independence, interest in teaching foreign languages increased and many opportunities were created for young people. As our first president Islam Karimov said, “Currently, teaching foreign languages is given great importance in our country. This is certainly not for nothing. Today, there is no need to overestimate the importance of perfect knowledge of foreign languages for our countries, which are striving to take their rightful place in the world community, for our people, who are building their great future in solidarity and cooperation with our foreign partners.  

As a logical continuation of these thoughts, the Presidential Decree “On measures to further improve the system of teaching foreign languages” adopted on December 10, 2012 expanded the opportunities for learning foreign languages. In our republic, new methods and requirements have been developed in accordance with the recommendations of the European framework for foreign language teaching and assessment of knowledge and skills of foreign language teachers (CEFR). According to it, textbooks were created for students of general education schools and vocational colleges. In accordance with these requirements, classrooms were equipped with stands and new information and communication techniques. The demand for learning a foreign language is increasing day by day.  

Foreign language science is divided into four aspects (reading, speaking, listening comprehension and speaking), and separate concepts and skills are given for each of them. Educational technologies are effective use of modern information technologies in the educational process. It is also intended to increase the quality and efficiency of education by introducing modern innovative technologies into the educational process. In particular, there are several advantages of using such information and communication technologies in learning a foreign language. The role of modern technology in language learning and teaching is incomparable. The use of technological tools is useful in every aspect of learning a foreign language (reading, reading, listening and speaking). 

 For example, in order to listen and understand, of course, this process cannot be carried out without a computer, player, CD discs. Listening comprehension is one of the most important parts of language learning. At the same time, the reader is required to pay attention to the speaker’s pronunciation, adherence to grammatical rules, vocabulary and its meanings. An important factor in the use of modern technologies in the educational process is that students know information and communication technologies well and are able to use them. Teaching and learning a foreign language using modern technologies is one of the most fruitful ways.

We know that in the current educational process, the student should be the subject. Focusing more on interactive methods will increase the effectiveness of education. One of the most important requirements for English language classes is to teach students to think independently.

Implementation of the developed experiences of pedagogy and achievements in education is considered one of the important conditions of today. Currently, a huge base of experience that a teacher can use during his career has been formed, and it is getting richer every day.

  However, it is difficult for teachers and future professionals to learn these experiences. The position of the teacher is particularly important in creating best practices and popularizing them among colleagues. The educator should pay attention to the value and effectiveness of the new advanced pedagogical experience when implementing it. leads to the idea that ways of improvement should be sought in close contact with the psychology of communication.  

In the process of training a student for professional pedagogical activities, it is necessary to teach him professional pedagogical communication skills at the same time. The selected literature and information for the development of students’ communicative skills – general teaching materials – are as follows it should include lexical-grammatical and stylistic changes, as well as reflect the structures of oral and literary speech. All communicative skills cannot be taught at once. Divide the process of teaching communicative learning skills into several stages.

In the first stage, it is necessary to organize goal-oriented observation and perception of students’ personal or professional activities of teachers in dynamically changing situations. is to perform professionally oriented exercises during the implementation of tasks. In the third stage, organizing independent implementation of professionally oriented communicative activities by students.

In short, as a result of using innovative methods in English language classes, students’ logical thinking skills develop, their speech becomes fluent, and the ability to give quick and correct answers is formed. Such methods make students eager for knowledge. The student tries to prepare thoroughly for the lessons. This makes students active subjects of the educational process. As the educational system sets itself the task of educating a free-thinking, well-rounded, mature person, in the future, we future teachers will contribute by developing ways to effectively use innovative technologies.

TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

        Abstract 

     Teaching foreign languages has become an essential component of education in a globalized world, where cross-cultural communication and multilingualism are increasingly valued. This article explores the multifaceted approaches to language education, highlighting the importance of communicative competence, cultural immersion, and the integration of technology in enhancing language acquisition. Drawing on theories from prominent linguists such as Stephen Krashen and Claire Kramsch.

Key Words:Modern technologies, speaking apps, methods,scientific research,tips.

   Introduction 

      In our increasingly interconnected world, the ability to speak multiple languages is more than just a valuable skill enhanced career opportunities, and deeper interpersonal connections. Teaching foreign languages has thus become a cornerstone of modern education, reflecting the growing need for global communication and collaboration.  This article explores the diverse strategies and methods that educators are using to make foreign language learning both effective and enjoyable.

       Methods Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Overview: 

 CLT focuses on enabling students to communicate effectively and fluently in real-life situations. The approach emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language.Implementation: Lessons are centered around activities that require authentic communication, such as role-playing, group discussions, and problem-solving tasks. Grammar and vocabulary are taught in context rather than through isolated drills, with a focus on function rather than form.

Using Multimedia Resources Overview:

 Incorporating movies, music, podcasts, and other multimedia resources into language instruction can greatly enhance the learning experience by providing context and engaging students’ senses.Teachers can use films and TV shows in the target language to improve listening skills and expose students to natural, everyday speech. Music can be used to teach rhythm, pronunciation, and vocabulary, while podcasts can offer insights into culture and current events.

Vocabulary Building Techniques Overview: 

A strong vocabulary is essential for language proficiency. Effective vocabulary teaching involves not just learning words but understanding their usage in context.Teachers can use flashcards, spaced repetition software, thematic word lists, and word games to help students retain new vocabulary. Encouraging students to use new words in sentences, discussions, and writing assignments reinforces learning. Research by Laufer and Nation (1995) indicates that a threshold level of vocabulary is necessary for reading comprehension, with a strong correlation between vocabulary size and reading ability.

 Use of Technology and Apps Overview: 

Modern technology offers a wide range of tools that can enhance language learning through interactive and personalized experiences.Teachers can incorporate apps like Duolingo, Babbel, or Rosetta Stone for practice, use online dictionaries and translation tools, or leverage platforms like Google Classroom to manage assignments and provide resources.

Discussion

     In the past, language instruction often centered around grammar-translation methods, where students learned vocabulary and rules in isolation from actual language use.Krashen’s Input Hypothesis suggests that meaningful communication is the key to language acquisition, which has led many educators to focus on immersive and interactive teaching methods. As Krashen notes, “Acquisition happens naturally when the focus is on understanding messages rather than on explicit language instruction.”Stephen Krashen introduces the Input Hypothesis, which emphasizes the importance of comprehensible input in language acquisition. According to Warschauer, “Technology provides learners with unprecedented access to authentic language resources and opportunities for interaction with native speakers, which are crucial for developing language proficiency.”

                                                       Conclusion

     Teaching foreign languages is not merely an academic endeavor but a vital component of fostering global citizenship and cultural understanding. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, the ability to communicate across linguistic boundaries is essential for personal and professional growth. Effective language education combines innovative teaching methods, cultural immersion, and the integration of technology, ensuring that learners are not only proficient in a language but also equipped to navigate diverse cultural landscapes.

Essay from Jonpolat Turgunov

For the time being, I would like to elucidate and describe enough and total information on one of the beneficial and attractive project in Uzbekistan—Ibrat Farzandlari.

Initially, it had better introduce about why this project was named Ibrat Farzandlari-for, there was a great and honourable, admirable individual in the near history of Uzbekistan. His name was Is’hoqxon Ibrat, actually you have a question why? His name has been given to this tremendously effective project-so long as Is’hoqxon Ibrat was a famous polyglot more and more common languages in the world this is why. 

You can see his picture below. 

Painting of a medieval Uzbek scholar with a white turban and a beard and coat and collared buttoned shirt.

Ibrat Farzandlari Project . This project was organized in 2022 year by one of the agency in Uzbekistan —Youth Affairs Agency and its director Alisher Sa’dullayev and Rustam Kariyev -also the international English teacher at Ibrat Farzandlari. This project is totally based on online or remote learning on you tube.

There are more than 22 languages are being taught by internationally expertise teachers. Such as, Uzbek, English, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Greek, Vietnamese, Chinese, Italian, German, French, Malay, Urdu Arab languages and so on. Surprisingly, Ibrat Farzandlari called over 500.000 passionate and curious youngsters around itself . In the future, it is going to increase the amount of learners up to 1 million and this is just a mind-blowing and respectful action and works. The followers of project is more than 100 .000 on telegram, Ibrat Farzandlari is more active in social and interactive life.

These days, project is being showed its genuine and clear results instantly, coz you know, not every person can learn languages because of financial and disability situations and circumstances, however it is not a numerous problem for Ibrat . It has been opening the gate of opportunities for every young person.

By learning English language, I am able to write this article fluently and perfectly and I attained bunch of achievement on the path brushing my skills upon the languages. I took an exam on national English proficiency test -Cefr -B2 score and these days I am practicing teaching the school students in English language . I learned more things and experiences from the teachers of ibrat , in the light of their charismatic lessons, I immortalized my result as a best learner of Ibrat. I am likely to be a generation of Ibrat Farzandlari.

Not only am I, but everyone. So, the honorable president of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoev also supports this project by himself, due to the fact that our president says , we need youngsters or adolescents who can speak more than 3 or 4 foreign languages, in our new Uzbekistan we back up the future of our country who are the teenagers, therefore this project was introduced to the president and our president confirmed this is one of extraordinary and indispensable one. Coz, nobody has to pay to learn or watch the language lessons.

One of the advantages of this project is it teaches rare languages in the world for example Urdu and pushti or malay or Spanish languages, in our Uzbekistan there are few education centers and teachers to teach or instruct these Linguas. I also learned Spanish language during summer three months, until now I have never heard about that language and no adequate data, but my Spanish teacher who is named Makhfuza Ortikova .

She has sufficient expertise in this field and having taught Spanish more than 10 years . She was also the member of international journalists association member . By attending her lessons , I realized that how Spanish language is more and more captivating and attractive language. I filled my world with one new language.

A new era in language learning has begun today. Join this intellectual movement, as this project aims to create bridges between world cultures, enhance communication, and provide the opportunity for smooth interaction from any corner of the world!

The main goal of the project is not just to teach languages but to prepare global leaders from Uzbekistan. To facilitate language learners, the “Ibrat Farzandlari” project has developed the “Ibrat Academy” app. Through this app, learners can not only watch video lessons but also continuously check their language level, complete knowledge-strengthening tests, and enhance their vocabulary interactively. 

Initially, learners need to download the app and create a personal profile. Then, they can subscribe to their language of interest and determine their level through the “Placement Test.” Based on this, the app recommends lessons and test exercises appropriate to the user’s language proficiency. The app can be used both online and offline, with features to download video lessons, files, and topic-related exercise materials for offline use. 

The key to speaking any language fluently is vocabulary. To assist users in this regard, “Ibrat Academy” offers a dictionary of Uzbek words and phrases. The dictionary contains over 100,000 words and phrases, which can be learned through 8 types of exercises. 

The app also features a nationwide “Leaders Board” that is continuously updated. The best learners will be suitably rewarded. To receive unexpected gifts, it is required to download the app, be an active user, follow the project, and participate in the final competition among the top learners of the app. 

In the future, the app is expected to integrate artificial intelligence functions. This will allow for individual interactions with each user. The AI function will check assignments, communicate with the learner, and provide feedback and recommendations on errors and shortcomings. 

There is no age limit for using the app. All language enthusiasts can learn various languages in a simple, effective, and most importantly, free manner. 

A new era in language learning has begun today. Join this intellectual movement, as this project aims to create bridges between world cultures, enhance communication, and provide the opportunity for smooth interaction from any corner of the world! 

The main goal of the project is not just to teach languages but to prepare global leaders from Uzbekistan!
