Is there a poet like you?

Unmatched in kindness and loyalty.

Every girl with love

A symbol of love and loyalty.

You are the pride of the nation.

A great Uzbek woman.

A high reward in itself.

If I were a poet,

Dreams have wings.

The honor of the country like you,

If I sing, I will burn.

I will be happy if I write poems.

I say if it blooms and lives,

My country is prosperous.

My country, my mother.

One day your faith will be justified,

Dear Zulfiyakhanim.

        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!

Essay from Abdumalikova Mushtariybegim

The influence of the Internet on humanity

In modern society, the concept of the Internet is embedded in the mind of almost everyone. Although the first computers and global networks appeared not so long ago, it is no secret that the Internet has already firmly established itself in our lives and mind. People of our time have reached the point where they can not imagine their lives without the Internet. The Internet is the fastest and easiest way to get the information you need at any time. However, like any innovation, it has its pros and cons.

First, letʼs talk about the positive aspects, it brings the distance closer, the information can be found in one place, e-books, online stores, the possibility to save time… So the number of positive aspects. But just as there are two sides to a coin, the Internet has its fair share of downsides. The Internet is making people lazy.
Children are not playing together in the streets like before, some children do not even know who their neighbors are and this is a very sad situation.

Earlier, people used to look forward to serials, movies and cartoons on TV, but now they donʼt know how to use TV. At the same time, the Internet causing a number of serious problems. For instance: stress, depression, sleep disorders, increased anxiety. In addition, while the Internet saves time bringing people closer, some people are wasting their precious time on idle networks. What I mean by this, keep in touch with your friends and loved ones offline, and remember that friendship is a treasure! From time to time, organize days without the Internet and do not lose touch with the real world by getting wrapped up in the virtual world.

Poetry from Ilhomova Mohichehra

Good people

Because tears torment me,

My aunts really comfort me.

How many nations, worlds,

I am lucky to have you good people.

You keep encouraging me,

You chase away the sadness in me.

You really love me from the bottom of my heart,

I am lucky to have you good people.

The heart beats when you are there,

My enemy will burn from within.

Brothers and sisters remember,

I am lucky to have you good people.

Essay from Makhmasalayeva Parizoda Makhmashukurovna

Central Asian teen girl with short dark hair, earrings, and a dark colored tee shirt.

My hero is my father

My father is my hero. For me, my father is brave, a hero and more than any other warrior. People always praise our fathers. It is true that they were also ready to give their lives for the country. But the person always sacrifices his life for you, his children, his family it is your dad. Do you know our saying “My father-my country”?! This was said to our selfless father. When did your father say no to you? He says the truth, but he does think about your future. I love my dad so much.                                                       

About my family:

There is five girls in my family. But my dad doesn’t separate any of us and treats us equally. I have the only dad in the world. Everyone’s dad is a hero for himself or herself and this is absolutely true!

Poetry from Taylor Dibbert


Stinky

He’s at National

Getting into 

An Uber

And as soon as

He closes

The door 

He realizes 

That the driver

Smells quite bad

But it’s

Cold outside

And he’s exhausted

And really needs

This ride

So he starts breathing

Through his mouth,

A five-star review

Is nowhere in sight.
