INTRODUCTION

Today, at a time when fundamental reforms are being implemented in the education system, the use of modern approaches in teaching the mother tongue is of great importance. In particular, increasing students’ vocabulary, developing their speech activity, and forming independent thinking skills is one of the urgent pedagogical problems. Working with a dictionary is a key component of native language lessons, allowing not only to learn new words, but also to use them correctly, understand them semantically, and actively use them in speech.

According to modern pedagogical theory, it is necessary to use innovative methods in addition to traditional methods in developing students’ language skills. Because today’s student is being formed in an information technology environment, and his educational needs are also changing. Therefore, the introduction of interactive methods, multimedia tools, and creative tasks in the process of working with a dictionary increases efficiency.

Also, working with a dictionary serves as an important tool in developing not only students’ language skills, but also their thinking, logical thinking, and communicative competence. In this regard, this article studies innovative methods of working with a dictionary on a scientific basis and analyzes their practical effectiveness.

LITERATURE ANALYSIS

The issue of working on vocabulary in native language lessons has been studied by many scholars. In particular, A. Gulyamov, in his work “Methodology of Teaching the Native Language”, emphasizes that increasing vocabulary is the main factor in the speech development of students. According to him, through a deep understanding of the meaning of words and their use in speech, students learn to think independently [1].

Also, N. Mahmudov, in his work “Language and Speech Culture”, notes the need for a systematic organization of the process of working with vocabulary. In his opinion, each new word must be mastered by the student based on the context, otherwise it will not become an active vocabulary [2].

S. Matchonov, in his scientific works, specifically focuses on the importance of interactive methods in mastering vocabulary. According to him, methods such as role-playing games, clustering, and brainstorming naturally increase students’ vocabulary [3].In general, the results obtained scientifically confirm that innovative approaches in native language lessons significantly increase the effectiveness of working with a dictionary. This indicates the need to combine traditional methods with innovative approaches in the modern educational process, without completely rejecting them.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the process of working with a dictionary in native language lessons is one of the pedagogical areas that is of decisive importance in the formation of students’ speech development, level of thinking and communicative competence. The analysis conducted during the study showed that working with a dictionary is not just a process of teaching new words, but a complex methodological system that shapes students’ attitude to the language, develops their creative and independent thinking.

Traditional approaches – that is, methods of explaining, memorizing and translating words – although useful to a certain extent, cannot fully meet the requirements of today’s education. In a modern educational environment, it is necessary to involve students as active participants, increase their interest and direct them to independent research. In this regard, innovative methods significantly increase the effectiveness of working with a dictionary.

According to the results of the study, interactive methods (cluster, brainstorming, group work), digital technologies (electronic dictionaries, multimedia tools, mobile applications) and gamification elements contribute to the rapid and stable acquisition of vocabulary by students. In particular, these approaches increase students’ interest in the lesson, forming them as active participants and independent thinkers.

Also, the research revealed that when innovative methods are used, students develop not only their vocabulary, but also their speech literacy, level of logical thinking and creative approach. This directly affects the quality of education and the effective organization of the educational process.

In general, organizing work with vocabulary in native language lessons based on modern innovative approaches is one of the important factors in increasing educational efficiency. In the future, teachers should further improve these methods and widely apply them in the educational process. This will serve to form a high level of speech culture, independent thinking and creative approach in students.
