Especially in teaching the native language, these approaches play a significant role. Interactive methods (role plays, problem situations, group discussions) transform students from passive listeners into active participants, developing their speech culture and creative thinking abilities.
Furthermore, the use of modern information and communication technologies makes it possible to present learning materials interactively and visually, encouraging students to engage actively with the topic. This contributes to the deepening of writing and speaking skills in the native language, fostering personalized learning and the development of creative thinking.
Main Part
Through the use of advanced pedagogical technologies, modern information and communication tools, and interactive methods in education, it becomes possible to develop students’ speech culture, independent thinking, and creativity. The main tasks in this process include stimulating verbal activity, strengthening analytical thinking, and supporting creativity. This encourages students to learn actively, express their opinions freely, think critically, and find creative solutions.
One of the urgent issues today is improving the quality of education and providing students with effective learning. To achieve this, teachers are required to use interactive methods appropriately and arouse learners’ interest. At the same time, teachers must constantly work on self-development and explore new interactive techniques. An interactive method is an activity in which learners cooperate, exchange ideas, and solve problems collectively through communication and discussion. Its main advantage lies in the fact that it teaches students to think independently and prepares them for real life. Interactive methods are learner-centered approaches that activate and motivate learners to think independently. The teacher’s role is to encourage participation, while the learner remains actively engaged throughout the process.
The benefits of learner-centered approaches are as follows: Learning becomes more effective; Learners are highly motivated; Previously acquired knowledge is taken into account; The learning process is aligned with the learner’s goals and needs; Initiative and responsibility are encouraged; Learning through practice is emphasized; Two-way feedback is promoted.
Thus, the use of interactive methods in the teaching process has its own characteristics. Careful study and application of each interactive method in practice broaden students’ thinking and positively affect their ability to solve problems effectively. It increases creativity and activeness. When theoretical and practical problems are analyzed through interactive methods, students’ knowledge, skills, and competencies deepen and expand.
Interactive teaching methods can be classified as follows:1️⃣ Interactive methods: Case study, Brainstorming interview, Modeling, Creative work, Problem-based learning, etc.2️⃣ Interactive teaching strategies: Brainstorming, Boomerang, Gallery, Zigzag, Step-by-step, Snowball, Rotation, etc.3️⃣ Interactive graphic organizers: Fishbone diagram, K-W-L (BBB), Concept table, Venn diagram, T-chart, Insert, Cluster, Why?, How? And others.
In addition, organizing native language lessons based on pedagogical technologies and using interactive methods such as Pair work, Small group work, Tree solution, Incomplete sentence exercise, Wheel of fortune, Find the wrong word, Mixed information, Alphabet, Scales, Lotto, Black box, helps enhance learning effectiveness. For instance, the “Wheel of Fortune” (Charxpalak) method is designed to help students recall previous topics, think logically, answer questions independently, assess themselves, and allows the teacher to evaluate all students’ knowledge in a short time. The activity can be used at the beginning or end of the lesson, during topic reinforcement, or for formative and summative assessment. Students work in groups, receive instructions, and exchange task sheets in a circular “wheel” manner. Each group builds on the ideas of others until the topic is completed. Correct answers are scored, and total points determine achievement levels.
Conclusion
The use of interactive and innovative methods in the educational process plays an important role in increasing students’ learning motivation, developing independent thinking skills, and enabling them to express their opinions freely.

She fed love in her heart with tears that flow in silence
Late night coming
The love has faded
She cries,
And left her eyes bloody and red
No attention,
The TV has now become her companion

SCIENCE REQUIRES OBJECTIVITY, PRECISION, AND ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY

Childhood is the happiest and purest season of our lives. All future dreams start in childhood. So let’s begin our conversation from your childhood…
— I always remember my childhood with particular reverence. Childhood is the first stage of a person’s emotional world and imagination; it is the first school where the soul is formed. The desires, fears, and simple joys that arise there form the foundation of future creativity and perception of the world. That is why it is appropriate to begin our conversation from my childhood — both my poetic and scientific interests can be traced back to that period.
Childhood dreams come to mind, My mischief and playful charms. Crying and laughing, Being upset with adults over anything.***It was full of sweets, I would wear gloves when it snowed. The last night of childhood was beautiful, It was a mugham, a ghazal for me.***Childhood dreams come to mind, Frightful winter tales, Little gifts in Novruz trays, The boys and girls of those years.
My first freedom ran and hid, In hide-and-seek my joy was plenty, The taste of sweet tea and salty bread, I still recall the delight of my first appetite.***We were very happy, lucky then, I never thought of the beginning or the end. Childhood dreams remain in my memory, And there was a child named Vuqar.—
Your poems and songs are full of delicate emotions. For you, what is the greatest source of inspiration — people, nature, love, or history?
— The sources of inspiration are diverse. For me, the strongest is the human being themselves — their inner world and love. Yet, the memory of the people, national spirit, and history also give poetry a rich context. Nature can sometimes be a simple metaphor or sometimes a profound silence for the soul. Inspiration cannot be tied to a single source — these elements complement each other and synthesize in poetry.— The true value of a human life is not measured by the years lived but by what one creates and the impact left on others’ hearts.
Have you ever asked yourself how you have lived your life so far?
I always carry such questions with me. I measure the value of life not by the number of years, but by the significance of the marks left. Science, teaching, literature, and family — these are activities that become history for me.— Some people want to possess everything, as if their life were enough to claim it all.
To what extent have you been able to cherish and use the blessings and opportunities given to you?
Opportunities have never been perfect, but I have tried to make the most of what was given: scientific research, publications, journalistic activity, and poetry. Particularly, I have worked in the fields of children’s literature, press history, and the topics of Southern Azerbaijan and Karabakh, achieving certain results. I consider this work a duty and a responsibility to preserve the national spirit.
To live with science requires patience, because it destroys illusions that cannot be restored. Especially, living in accordance with science is very challenging. In your opinion, what responsibilities does carrying the burden of science entail?
Science demands objectivity, precision, and ethical responsibility. It also carries a social responsibility: acquired knowledge must be shared with society and the younger generation. Patience, humility, and consistent professionalism are essential on this path.
What conclusions have you drawn from your scientific work on children’s literature? How does children’s literature contribute to forming the national spirit?
Children’s literature is a key factor influencing the early development of the national spirit. The first images, values, language, and stories given to children lay the foundation of their national consciousness. My research also shows that children’s literature is a strategic field for transmitting language, cultural values, and historical memory, which is why it deserves special attention.
You also conduct scientific work in journalism and press history. How responsible or dangerous do you consider modern journalism compared to classical journalism?
Classical journalism ideally emphasizes responsibility and objectivity. Modern journalism, however, faces rapid information flow, commercial pressures, and short-term sensationalism. These changes may sometimes weaken responsibility and lower content quality. Nevertheless, professional and ethical media still uphold classical journalism principles.
At the Nizami Ganjavi Institute of Literature, the Department of Press History and Journalism, which I lead, has achieved significant success in researching national press history and producing new scientific results. One of our achievements is the first publication of the Molla Nasreddin Encyclopedia under the leadership of academician Isa Khabibbeyli.
What needs of society does poetry satisfy today — spiritual consolation, social struggle, philosophical inquiry, or personal expression?
Poetry meets various needs: it can provide spiritual comfort, voice social-political arguments, raise philosophical questions, and express personal emotions. Each era’s poetry highlights one or several of these functions depending on its context. The most effective poem is one that resonates within the reader and stimulates thought.— In the history of Azerbaijani poetry, there are geniuses like Nizami, Khagani, and Fuzuli.
How do modern poets use their legacy? Do they study it sufficiently?
Learning from the great classics is essential — their aesthetic, philosophical, and linguistic capacities provide rich resources for contemporary poetry. Many modern Azerbaijani poets draw from this legacy, yet it requires both deep study and creative transformation. In my observation, deep analysis of the classics remains relevant, and many approach this legacy with new layers of meaning.
— Today’s Azerbaijani poetry: Rainy is my winter, my spring,My stringed saz plays a sorrowful tune,It is my soul, my dear flag.Both smiling and crying,Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan.We are Majnun, she is Leyli,We poured love into her, freely,Both from the North and South,Karabakh’s hair turned gray,Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan.Flying high, flying high,I travel the road to Savalan,Praying to the Creator.I say to my Tabriz: “Life!”Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan.Wounded in wars,Ripped apart its lands,Divided into two.When will it be united again?Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan.Sixty million compatriots,Our Azer-Turk brothers,Separated, our tears remain.God above, Quran on Earth,Victory, Azerbaijan.
Your poems convey spiritual quest and inner elevation. How do Sufis like Rumi, Shams Tabrizi, Nasimi, and Yassavi influence your worldview?
The spiritual search, inner purification, and ideas of compassion from Sufis have shaped my worldview. Their symbolic language and spiritual quest appear in my poetry as metaphorical layers. For me, the most valuable aspect of Sufism is its emphasis on individual responsibility and the elevation of morality.
You have participated in international scientific journals and congresses. How is Azerbaijani poetry perceived in the context of global literature?
Azerbaijani poetry is increasingly recognized in international forums — especially for contemporary topics, national motifs, and translations. Based on my experience in congresses and journals, Azerbaijani poetry is recognized for its unique voice and attracts attention abroad.— Works that provide pleasure, spiritual nourishment, and invite reflection on life and the human soul are rare today.
How do 20th–21st century Azerbaijani poetry and prose differ?
The 20th–21st centuries demanded flexible literary forms due to national liberation, social, and ideological upheavals; the 21st century provides a more magical and multifaceted expression within globalization, new media, and individual freedom. In prose, the transition from realist and modernist traditions to postmodern and experimental techniques is evident. In both eras, the dialogue between content and form enriches the literary language.
Are works being created today that will endure in eternity?
Yes. Works that reflect deep human issues, the spirit of the times, and original aesthetic search are created in every era. Both form and content must hold value for literature to endure.— Writing about masters is both easy and difficult. Easy because you know their creative path and friends well.
Could you share your thoughts on your mentors and their place in your creative and life journey?
My mentors include both classical and contemporary scholars and poets. Their lessons, critiques, and personal guidance have taught me scientific methodology and poetic taste. Each mentor has left an imprint on my creative and pedagogical work, enriching my worldview.— As A. Krylov said: “A critic shows the flaw with one hand and crowns the beauty with the other, refining taste.”
As a professor and poet, what criteria do you rely on when analyzing and critiquing a work?
Firstly, I consider the text’s aesthetic quality, linguistic accuracy, and conceptual coherence. Then context: the author’s intent, historical-cultural background, and genre conventions. Critique must be constructive and objective — the aim is not to destroy the work but to reveal its potential. Academic requirements, sources, and fact-checking are also essential.
Jakhongir NOMOZOV, is a young poet and journalist from Uzbekistan. He is also a Member of the Union of Journalists of Azerbaijan and the World Young Turkic Writers Union.
After spending a life time in the company of Babas, who always preached against alcohol and bad habits, [don’t ask me whether they themselves acted on their own advice or not], and serving in the ‘deras’ [holy places] for a lifetime, I remember how I impressed some other people also, by telling them some inflated truths [truth if inflated is also an untruth], so that when they joined, and became followers of the Baba, the Baba then conferred on me the title of a Group Leader [Chhote Sahib]. There were thousands of Chhote Sahibs, who were working for the Baba.
There may have been many things going amiss, but I was lucky I did not see anything. And as a result, I had a peaceful death, and after serving the Baba and the people, I was sure God will house me in a special cell in Heaven. On reaching the assembly waiting for the judgement, with Dharamraja listening to each one’s historic deeds on earth, I found they paid no attention to my titles. But I was sure to be admitted to Heaven on the basis of my hard work, and sincere followship of the Baba.
When my turn came, they handed over to me a charge sheet, and I was asked to reply in six months. During those six months, I was to stay in the Over Lap, a newly designed place where all good and bad people were made to stay. The charges shocked me. I was quizzed for every good thing that I had done on the earth under the influence of the Baba, whom I revered as my Guru. Every person had a different charge sheet. I had a fast look at the end of the list where they had mentioned that I was 90 percent eligible to enter Hell.
You were expected to do good, and believe in simply joys, and live in innocence. Why you joined this band of idlers? Remembering God is no job in itself. On the earth, you were expected to do some good work for your family and the society. You wasted your time in the service of the Baba who is already on our hit-list. All the work you did in the name of ‘Sewa’ [service] was miscarried. You told lies to unsuspecting people and forced them into the servility of your master. You told deliberate lies. It is unpardonable. You say you have done ‘simran’ of God every day in the morning and evening.
Chanting God’s name, without following holy edicts, is a waste of time. God does not believe in such practices which are hollow. You have been running round and round your self styled demigod. There are millions like you wasting their time around these gods. The sewa [service] that you are doing is useless if you do not understand the fundamental issues. The fundamental issue is your innocence. You work for yourself, but at the same time, make sure, your work helps the society, and it does not harm others in any way. If you are aware of it, and act accordingly, you do not need such godmen.
You also do not need to read any holy books or even to recite the name of God, if you remember one thing: to be innocent. Regarding lots of deprivations imposed arbitrarily by these Babas, you are better advised to follow your wishes. If you want to eat non-vegetarian food, or drink alcohol, if you take tobacco and enjoy smoking, if you enjoy bar dances, we have no problem so long as you do not cause any harm to society, your family and even to yourself. There is no sin, no crime if you can feel happy the way you want to live.
We have given you this beautiful body. A beautiful mind. A beautiful family. And a wonderful society of men, women, and a life in which there are huge reserves of vegetation, animals, beasts and birds. It is meant for your enjoyment. Only beware of of Knowledge. It is the gift of Satan to Adam and Eve. Knowledge alone is not enough. It is wisdom which tells you to act when, how, why and when not. What should not be done, is as much your duty, as what should be done.
We give you six months to learn, realize and accept what we want from you. Dharamraja then said, give him the next date after six months.
