Introduction: The mother tongue is a spiritual treasure of the nation, and the most important means that expresses the people’s thinking and culture. Teaching the mother tongue in the school education system is aimed not only at providing grammatical knowledge, but also at developing the ability to think correctly, fluently and consistently, expanding students’ vocabulary, and improving their speech culture.

However, today there are several problems in the process of teaching the mother tongue in schools. On one hand, this is related to the effectiveness of teaching methods, and on the other hand, it is closely connected with the general attitude towards language culture in society.

At a time when learning foreign languages is gaining great importance in the context of globalization, it is necessary to further strengthen the prestige and status of the mother tongue. Therefore, improving the process of teaching the mother tongue at school, strengthening students’ love and respect for their native language, and increasing the effectiveness of education based on modern pedagogical approaches are among the most urgent tasks.

Literature review

Scientific work and research conducted on teaching the mother tongue in schools show the relevance of this topic. Sh. Almamatova and M. Mamatqulova in their research highlighted the learning problems that occur in modern lessons and developed proposals to eliminate them. U.B. Bobojonova systematically justified the general didactic and subject-specific methodological principles in mother tongue teaching. S.M. Umarova scientifically substantiated the effectiveness of using an integrative approach in teaching the mother tongue, that is, teaching the language in harmony with other subjects through learning tasks. In the article “Current problems in teaching the mother tongue and literature and ways to solve them” written by Jalil Jalolovich, problems related to the scientific-methodological consistency of textbooks, students’ low literacy level, teachers’ methodological culture, and the material and technical base of schools were widely analyzed. These views show that the number of scientific studies on this topic is increasing and that the topic requires constant research.

Research methods

The research on the topic “Problems in the process of mother tongue teaching at school” was carried out on the basis of the following methods:

Observation method – During the research, mother tongue lessons at school were directly observed, and the organization of the lesson, the level of using interactive methods, students’ activity in the lesson, and their independent thinking skills were studied. Based on the results, recommendations were developed to improve lesson effectiveness.

Survey and interview method – Surveys were conducted among students and teachers. In it, students’ interest in the mother tongue subject, problems in speech culture, difficulties encountered during the lesson, and teachers’ methodological approaches were studied. Interviews were also conducted with teachers and their professional experience was analyzed.

Analysis method – School textbooks, curriculum, methodological guides, practical experiences, and materials related to the activities of advanced teachers were analyzed. Based on these, the effective and weak aspects of the lesson process were identified and directions for improvement were developed.

Results and discussion

The results of the research showed that the main problems in the process of teaching the mother tongue are as follows:

the development of students’ oral and written speech is weak, their vocabulary is limited, and their skills of using grammar rules in practice are low;

the learning process is more focused on theoretical knowledge, and work on text analysis, creative thinking and speech situations is insufficient;

teachers’ pedagogical skills and their aspiration for innovation in choosing methodological approaches are not high everywhere;

due to the large number of students in classes, individual approach is limited;

extracurricular reading culture is weak, and interest in reading fiction is insufficient.

To eliminate these problems, it is necessary to strengthen interactive approaches in teachers’ activities, organize lessons based on practical exercises, increase work with texts that develop independent thinking in students, and involve parents in the process.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the mother tongue is not only a subject that provides grammatical knowledge, but also the main subject that shapes the student’s thinking, worldview, speech and spirituality. Therefore, improving the teaching process of the mother tongue at school is a requirement of the time. Applying modern pedagogical technologies in the lesson, strengthening teachers’ methodological training, increasing students’ love and respect for the language, and establishing work with literary texts will increase the efficiency of education. As a result, the speech culture, thinking capacity and national identity of the future generation will rise.

The Call of Peace

O Human, master of all creation, Why do you ignite the malice within them? No plant is safe from your evils, Nor bird, nor land, nor human being, Even the universe complains of your arrogance.

*****O Human, be mindful! All that your hands destroy will demolish you. Return to your senses, and let us come together to build bridges of love for tomorrow. How many nights were lost in wars, And how many eyes spill tears, And hearts beg for safety, Pleading for peace to prevail upon the Earth. A peace that irrigates every heart, Dispels fear, and summons delight. If love spreads throughout the universe, goodness will reign. For in the palm of Peace, the gardens of happiness sprout.

******Come, let us plant the olive tree as a symbol, And release the white dove, the symbol of peace, And strive for harmony with every effort, To mend what we have corrupted with our own hands. And let us pray to God to grant every heart, A pure, endless peace. A peace that fills the universe with light, And overwhelms the Earth with joys and protection.

Mesfakus Salahin

‎When Spring Touches Me

‎When spring touches me

‎I search for myself within myself

‎All colors lose their color

‎Only red finds a new language

‎My heartbeat spreads fragrance in the deep of eyes

‎When you touch me

‎I get lost within myself

‎Poets become poems

‎Poems sing the praises of love

‎The topic of love flows in the end of waiting.

‎When spring is far away

‎I wait

‎The kite of time flies in the blue sky.

‎When you are far away

‎From one planet to another

‎It feels like the whole world is mine.

Need for Blessing

They say,

To mourn the dead,

In the way we bless the living—

Is a kind of respect,

A kind of ritual.

They say,

To bless the living,

In the way we mourn the dead—

Is a kind of device,

A kind of cunning.

The living need mourning,

The dead need blessing.

Like the clouds in the sky,

Never let single eyes gaze escape.

A living who has never been mourned,

Is like a dead already blessed.

Under a strange state of mind,

They speak words that sound normal.

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.

Poetry from Nidia Garcia

Young Latina woman with short dark hair, reading glasses, and small white earrings.

VIOLIN

Rehearsing a melody

A radiant young teenager,

dressed up in her room,

practicing her violin.

And so, appearing at a concert,

to which she was invited, the teenager

is a self-confident person.

That she doesn’t give up easily,

since the instrument requires practice

to achieve her goal is a fact, in fact,

she has even become a popular artist,

making music her main theme.

When listening to her, you could notice

the emotions of the audience

as the young woman stood

on stage and won over

everyone present,

thanks to the violin as

the main instrument

or supporting character

in the performance, the violin

is poised to become the star of the evening,

and the young woman is the most notable

for having used the violin as an instrument in recent times.
