      Introduction. In today’s rapidly developing era of globalization, languages play a crucial and leading role in communication among people. Among them, the English language holds a special place and is currently used as the primary means of international communication in many countries around the world. According to statistical data, the number of English speakers has exceeded 1.5 billion, making it one of the most widely spoken languages globally. The use of English as one of the main working languages in major international organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union, and the World Trade Organization clearly demonstrates its global significance. Moreover, a large proportion of contemporary scientific publications, modern technological developments, and internet content are produced in English.

The renowned linguist David Crystal, discussing the English language, states that “the language associated with powerful political and economic centers is the one that achieves global leadership.” In addition, the relatively simple structure, flexibility, and ease of learning of the English language have made it more accessible compared to many other languages.

In Uzbek literature, the power and importance of language have also been strongly emphasized. The great thinker Alisher Navoi promoted the idea that “respect for language is respect for the nation,” viewing language as the most valuable asset of a people. Today, learning English serves as an important tool for acquiring knowledge, understanding the world, and developing intercultural communication. Indeed, learning and knowing languages is never a burden for individuals; the more languages a person knows, the broader their worldview becomes.

     Review of the Literature

  1. Crystal, David (2003). In English as a Global Language, the author states that the emergence of English as a global language was mainly influenced by the political and economic dominance of the British Empire and the United States.
  2. McCrum, Robert (2003). In The Story of English, McCrum explains that the adaptability of the English language and its ability to quickly adopt new words played a key role in its development as a global language.
  3. Ethnologue Research (2022). According to Ethnologue, English is spoken by approximately 1.4 billion people worldwide as either a native or a second language.
  4. UNESCO Reports. UNESCO reports indicate that 60–70 percent of scientific articles are published in English, which highlights the leading position of English in the field of science.
  5. Graddol, David (2006). In his work English Next, Graddol demonstrates with evidence that English holds a dominant position as the language of the internet, technology, and international education.

Research Methodology

This study is aimed at scientifically examining the process through which the English language has developed into a global language, its historical roots, and its role in society on a global scale. In the course of the research, a theoretical and analytical method was employed. Through this method, scholarly literature on the formation of English as a global language, the views of linguists, and contemporary research findings were thoroughly analyzed.

In addition, a sociolinguistic approach was used to investigate the functional roles of English in modern society, including its use in international communication, science, education, cultural exchange, and information technology. This approach serves to demonstrate that English functions as an important tool for the exchange of knowledge and mutual understanding among different nations and cultures.

The study also applies a comparative method, through which English is compared with other widely spoken languages. This allows for a scientific examination of the simplicity, adaptability, and rapid global acquisition of the English language.

As the methodological foundation of the research, theories concerning the close relationship between language and society were taken into account, along with ideas found in Uzbek literature regarding the role of language in the life of a nation and its culture. In particular, the concept of respect for language put forward by the great writer Alisher Navoi is considered an important theoretical perspective for understanding the significance of the English language in the modern world.

 Analysis and Results

The results of the analysis indicate the following:

  1. The English language has become firmly established as a global means of communication through political and economic influence on a worldwide scale.
  2. The dominance of English in the fields of science, technology, and business has positioned it as an essential international tool.
  3. The spread of the English language through culture and media plays a significant role in shaping global social and cultural dynamics.
  4. As a result, English is used not only as an official international language but also as a universal means of communication across numerous fields.

Conclusion

This article examined the status of the English language as a global language. Today, English is considered one of the most important languages on a global scale, as it facilitates effective communication in the fields of international interaction, science, education, and technology. Learning English is a key factor in personal development, professional growth, and competitiveness in the global arena. The research focused on identifying the problem of the global spread of English and the factors contributing to it.

The results of the analysis indicate that political and economic power, dominance in science and technology, as well as dissemination through culture and media have significantly contributed to the formation of English as an international means of communication. On this basis, it has been confirmed that English is not only effective in international communication but also serves as a practical and efficient tool across various fields.

Furthermore, the widespread global use of English continues to strengthen its position worldwide. The rapid development of information technologies, the expansion of international education programs, and the growing demand for highly qualified professionals in the global labor market have made proficiency in English a necessity. From this perspective, mastering the English language plays an important role in broadening the worldview of the younger generation and shaping them into competitive specialists who meet the demands of the modern world. Therefore, the scientific study of the factors that reinforce the status of English as a global language remains a relevant and essential task today.

INTRODUCTION
Today, due to the growing interest in the French language in many parts of the world, the use of modern methods is required in the process of learning this language. Especially one of the pressing issues is the development of speaking skills, which is the main way of communicating in a foreign language. Therefore, a number of studies are currently being carried out on improving the ability to speak orally. However, we are facing several problems in their practical application.

The main purpose of this article is to improve the ability of spoken speech among students with a particular specialty of young people studying French, to adapt them to live communication and to analyze the effective aspects of the use of audiovisual materials in the formation of the skills of not only speaking French but also thinking. The results of this study provide an opportunity to develop oral speech in the process of learning French by using audiovisual tools correctly and purposefully.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This study was conducted in a practical and experimental direction, using audiovisual tools to improve students’ oral skills and develop their ability to speak independently, as if they were native speakers of the language. First of all, to analyze theoretical approaches to the topic.

Important scientific articles such as Karimov’s “The Role of Video Lessons in the Educational Process” and Jo’rayeva Mohina’s “Linguodidactic Foundations of Developing Students’ Oral Speech” were collected and studied. At the same time, international experiences were summarized based on the article “The Use of Audio-Visual Materials as Strategies to Enhance Speaking Skills among ESL Young Learners”, prepared under the global collaboration of Keeth Kthirvel and Harvati Hashim.

In the practical stage, pedagogical observation, comparison, and experimental methods were widely used. During this experiment, audiovisual materials (video clips, films, podcasts, and subtitled videos) were used in French language lessons. Changes were
observed and analyzed in depth during the lessons and exams. The methods chosen based on these observations are fully consistent with the main goal of the study and serve to determine the importance of audiovisual materials in developing the oral
speech of students learning French.

In the final stage, the useful and harmful aspects of these methods were fully studied and suggestions and recommendations
were developed for the purposeful use of the above tools.


REVIEW OF LITERATURE USED

Today, the use of audiovisual materials in modern pedagogy and education is one of the most important of the issues that is at the center of current and heated discussions. In recent years, many practical and theoretical studies have been conducted on this topic,
confirming the usefulness of these tools (audiovisual materials) in the learning process, especially in developing speaking skills.


In the scientific article of Karimova “the role of video cameras in the
educational process”. Videodars and presentations have scientifically substantiated the development of independent thinking and talkative skills. Also, in her article “Linguodidactic Foundations of Developing Students’ Oral Speech” by KarSU doctoral student Jo’rayeva Mohina, she emphasizes the use of audiovisual materials as an effective method of developing oral speech.


At the global level, Keeth Kthirvel and Harvati Hashim conducted a study on the use of audiovisual materials as strategies to enhance speaking skills among ESL students and young learners in their article “The Use of Audiovisual Materials as Strategies to
Enhance Speaking Skills among ESL Young Learners.” The article provides a scientific basis for the use of videos, podcasts, and audio-video tasks to improve students’ oral communication skills.


Studying the above studies, we can see that although the importance of audiovisual materials has been thoroughly analyzed, there is a lack of methodological approach to using these tools. This article examines this issue.


ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
The results of the experiments conducted showed that the regular and purposeful use of audiovisual materials is important in improving students’ oral speech. And it came to my stop taking into account the percentage indicators of the following experiment.

In the first stage of the experiment, two groups of New simple and experimental groups were formed from 1st year students with a homogeneous level of knowledge. In normal gruhs, classes were held in the traditional style of Experimental while in gruhi, classes were held using audiovisual materials. In 2 months of favomi, changes in these groups were monitored and deeply observed. 2
months later, an examination was carried out and their level of knowledge was assessed. According to preliminary results, 30% of students in ordinary Gruh satisfactorily underestimated the skills of oral speech.48% showed an average of while 22% of students performed low. In the case of experimental gruhi, the results
were significantly improved. Specifically, 50% of students returned satisfactory grades, 35% returned average grades, and 15% returned low grades.

According to the results obtained, the learning effectiveness in the group using audiovisual materials was higher and more effective than in the control group. In particular, students who achieved satisfactory results were 20 percent higher, while those who achieved low results were 7 percent lower. These percentages are clear evidence
that audiovisual materials are useful in developing oral speech.

This study showed that audiovisual materials are extremely necessary and useful for every student studying French. The above figures are a clear proof.


In a typical group, a large proportion of students (58%) reported a low average of 22%. This result suggests that traditional teaching methods are inadequate in the development of student oral speech. This situation was mainly explained by the limited opportunities for real-world and auditory-visual learning during the lesson.


In the experimental group, the proportion of students who showed satisfactory results reached 50%, indicating that audiovisual materials increased students’ speech activity. Through video materials and audio recordings, as well as various films and podcasts, students can better master the pronunciation, speaking style, and speed of speech in French. Furthermore, the 15% reduction in the proportion of students who performed poorly in the experimental group showed that audiovisual materials are an important pedagogical factor in the development of oral speech.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, audiovisual materials are important in studying the natural world because they demonstrate the pronunciation, speaking style, and cultural characteristics of the French language.
Through video materials, podcasts, films, and shows, students’ vocabulary and pronunciation improve. From the results of the study, we can know that the use of audiovisual materials in the course of the lesson increases the interest of students in relation to the lesson and forms the skills of free communication. This serves as an
important foundation in tending them to a real-life environment.

It is also worth noting that these methods are an important guide in the process of interactive learning and an important factor in the development of students’ communicative skills and competencies. Pedagogical research has shown that each student should use
additional materials on the language they are learning, which will be beneficial to their perspective and their ability to communicate freely in that language. In addition, each language that needs to be learned requires regular development and work on itself. If every student uses advanced methodologies such as audiovisual materials on a regular basis, they will make great progress in this field. This is the main goal of the study.

Introduction


Throughout the historical development of society and pedagogy, various approaches have emerged to explain the concept of upbringing. First of all, a distinction is made between upbringing in its broad and narrow senses. In the broad sense, upbringing refers to the overall influence of society on an individual, in which the process of upbringing is closely interconnected with socialization. In this context, a person’s development occurs through continuous interaction with social norms, values, and cultural traditions. In the narrow sense, upbringing is understood as the purposeful educational activity carried out by educators, which is
commonly referred to as educational or upbringing work.

This approach emphasizes the intentional and organized influence of pedagogical efforts aimed at shaping an individual’s moral, intellectual, and social qualities. This article examines views and reflections on upbringing presented in the works of prominent
scholars such as Jan Amos Comenius, Anton Makarenko, and Abu Nasr al-Farabi, highlighting their contributions to the understanding of the essence and significance of upbringing in human development.

Review of the Literature
In his work “The Virtuous City”, Abu Nasr al-Farabi considers upbringing to be a fundamental factor in the formation of a morally perfect individual. This viewpoint is highly valid, as upbringing can be regarded as the foundation upon which knowledge is built. An individual who has received proper upbringing tends to acquire knowledge more quickly and effectively.

According to al-Farabi, upbringing plays a crucial role in developing moral virtues, intellectual maturity, and abilities that enable a person to contribute positively to society. This idea appears well grounded, since the development of such qualities indeed leads to the formation of individuals who are beneficial to society. However, upbringing should not be limited solely to these aspects; it is also essential to cultivate additional abilities in children, such as communication skills, social interaction, appropriate behavior, and the ability to speak and act suitably in different social contexts.

Jan Amos Comenius viewed upbringing as a natural, continuous, and systematic process. He emphasized that education and upbringing should be equal and compulsory for all individuals. While this perspective is partially acceptable, excessive enforcement and rigid compulsion may lead to fatigue and resistance among children. Treating all individuals identically in the process of upbringing
can diminish the diversity and meaning of human life.

Every individual requires upbringing, but not in the same manner, as people differ in their personalities, needs, challenges, and developmental conditions. Therefore, forced uniformity in
upbringing is inappropriate. Nevertheless, in collective and public environments, adherence to common rules and norms is necessary. Thus, when Comenius’s views are examined from both objective and subjective perspectives, they can be considered largely valid and well-founded.


Research Methodology
In order to determine the effectiveness of the upbringing process, this study employs several research methods widely used in pedagogical science, including historical-pedagogical analysis, descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, and pedagogical experimentation. As the methodological foundation of the research, A. S. Makarenko’s concept of upbringing through the collective was selected.

Makarenko’s practical experience in collective education was
implemented during the 1920s–1930s at the M. Gorky Labor Colony located in Ukraine. This pedagogical experiment primarily involved orphaned children, adolescents prone to delinquent behavior, and individuals belonging to socially vulnerable groups. During the research process, the participants were educated on the basis of collective labor, strict discipline, responsibility, and mutual
respect.

The central idea of the experiment was that the collective, as a leading educational tool, exerts a strong influence on personal development. According to Makarenko’s theory, the harmony between high demands and respect within the upbringing process ensures effective outcomes. This approach contributed to the
formation of such qualities as social responsibility, diligence, discipline, and social usefulness among the participants.


The analysis of the experimental results indicates that approximately 80–85 percent of the participants successfully achieved social adaptation and developed into individuals who found their place in society. At the same time, 15–20 percent of the participants continued to experience various social difficulties. This situation
can be explained by the large number of participants involved in the experiment, the complexity of their psychological conditions, and differences in their ability to accept and respond to educational influence.

Overall, Makarenko’s methodology of upbringing through the collective demonstrated high effectiveness and was scientifically substantiated as one of the most significant pedagogical approaches
for fostering social development and personal maturity. The findings of the study highlight the necessity of strengthening the role and importance of the collective within the upbringing process.

Analysis and Results
During the research process, the effectiveness of the pedagogical approach based on A. S. Makarenko’s concept of upbringing through the collective was analyzed using criteria for assessing personal development. The evaluation focused on key indicators such as changes in the participants’ social adaptation, level of discipline,
sense of responsibility, and skills of cooperation within the collective.

The results of the conducted pedagogical experiment revealed that approximately 80–85 percent of the participants demonstrated positive changes. Within this group, clear improvements were observed in adaptation to collective activities, awareness of
social responsibility, a more positive attitude toward labor, and the development of personal discipline. These findings confirm the practical effectiveness of Makarenko’s theoretical view that regards the collective as a leading instrument of upbringing.

At the same time, the study identified that 15–20 percent of the
participants did not achieve the expected level of outcomes. This result can primarily be explained by the individuals’ psychological characteristics, negative social experiences, and a low level of receptiveness to educational influence.


Additionally, the large number of participants limited the possibility of fully implementing an individualized approach during the research process.


Discussion


The discussion indicates that although the approach of upbringing through the collective demonstrates high effectiveness, applying it uniformly to all learners is not advisable. This method can fully achieve the expected outcomes only when it is integrated with individual and differentiated approaches. In this regard, the
findings are consistent with the ideas proposed by Jan Amos Comenius concerning the continuous and systematic nature of upbringing.

The analysis of the results shows that the model of collective upbringing remains highly relevant within the modern educational system. It serves as an effective means of fostering social activity, self-awareness, and motivation to attain a достойное place in society. At the same time, it has been scientifically substantiated that successful implementation of this approach requires careful consideration of the learners’ individual characteristics and psychological conditions.


Conclusion


The findings of the study indicate that pedagogical activities organized through the collective play a significant role in ensuring personal development within the upbringing process. The concept of collective upbringing developed by A. S. Makarenko remains relevant and applicable in contemporary pedagogical contexts. The results of the experimental research demonstrate that upbringing based on collective activity contributes to the formation of essential qualities such as social adaptation, responsibility, discipline, cooperation, and diligence.

At the same time, the necessity of incorporating elements of an individual approach into the upbringing process has been scientifically substantiated. The limitations identified during the study highlight the need to further improve the upbringing process by harmonizing collective and individual approaches, as well as by
developing methodological recommendations aimed at increasing the effectiveness of educational influence.

The outcomes of this research have practical significance
for general education institutions, educational and upbringing organizations, and the training of pedagogical personnel, contributing to the overall enhancement of the upbringing process.

Poetry from Mesfakus Salahin

South Asian man with reading glasses and red shoulder length hair. He's got a red collared shirt on.
Mesfakus Salahin

Memorial

‎Memory does not do much harm without traces

‎That day, I suddenly found a memory

‎In the longitudinal section of the rib bone

‎I was overwhelmed with love and happiness

‎The tired heart swam in the water of my eyes

‎Promises were scattered from the soul,

‎A supernatural promise

‎The wound wanted to settle

‎But like many, I am nostalgic myself

‎So I postponed the amputation.

‎A memory from the tomb of the river said,

‎’People who have lost their memory are helpless’

‎Even blood stirs up a thousand memories

‎The memories of the world never retire

‎You will return – I know it is pointless

‎Still, it is for a dignified life.

‎One day I went to see the sea

‎There were countless memories on the beach

‎I picked up memories from the pebbles

‎Some memories shouted

‎’Forgive me, forgive me’

‎I couldn’t express my tears for you

‎The ocean’s tears were filled with memories

‎I didn’t pronounce it clearly with my open chest

‎Your name that you gave me

‎The ocean waited for me

‎I waited for your embrace.

‎One day the rain touched my past

‎It wanted to give me freedom

‎It couldn’t erase all the sorrow

‎And couldn’t separate me from the sorrow

‎By the one who taught me to love

‎Only you can give me a river free from sorrow.

‎You know, memories are eternal, heavenly

‎Revived in solitude

‎I will feel pride in your memory

‎As long as I live

‎I too have secret memories

‎There is the sorrow of losing my soul

‎Who will pay the price of losing my soul?

‎Memories mixed with the intoxicating air

‎Who can afford to ignore it?

‎I continuously drink the essence of memories

‎Feelings hanging from a window filled with sadness

‎I remove the window curtain and see the horizon line

‎Where the poetic essence merges with the essence of me.

‎No one questions the wind above my head,

‎The ground beneath my feet,

‎The waves of adolescence,

‎The dreams of youth,

‎The stars falling in the darkness,

‎The stopped watch –

‎How have they kept me?

‎Don’t you ask – at what price is memory sold,

‎at what price is time sold?

‎I haven’t learned to sell memory

‎I haven’t learned to sell time

‎I couldn’t bow my head like a slave for a moment.

‎Now the poetry shops are not crowded

‎Like the forbidden shops are crowded

‎Poetry does not glorify the soul

‎Because you do not recite the exiled poem

‎Open the window of the soul once

‎Purify my tears

‎With breath, purify the soil

‎Purify our surroundings again

‎Let’s drink together morning, afternoon, evening

‎Let’s drink hand in hand the song of time

‎Let’s release the anxious stars

‎Let’s embrace the earth deeply.

VALUES AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Annotation

This article examines the concept of values, their role in society and
individual life, their significance in personal development, and the
importance of cultivating values among young people. The study
highlights how values influence decision-making, social interactions,
and overall societal progress.

Introduction

Values are essential factors that form the moral, spiritual, and
cultural foundation of human life and society. When an individual
understands and follows values, they not only contribute to society
but also ensure their own personal development.

1. The Concept of Values

Values are a set of moral, spiritual, cultural, or practical
principles important for both individuals and society. They ensure
social stability, mutual respect, and responsibility among people.

2. The Role of Values in Personal Development

Values shape a person’s life decisions. For example, honesty,
diligence, respect, and helpfulness guide individuals toward their
goals and help them succeed in social interactions.

3. Youth and the Formation of Values

It is crucial to educate young people in the spirit of values. Values

PARENTS AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS HUMAN SOCIETY

How sons and daughters should be brought up, parents are very touchy in this matter. They use all their powers, even if they have to go for loans, to offer them a world of surety and security. They cannot be faulted in their passion to make all the provisions for the happy stay of their offspring. But some obvious facts that we have to contend with are that the over-protected and pampered sons and daughters of the rich are worst examples of humanity. They have power and wealth which they squander and make life difficult for people who want to live life with dignity.  

If a father is a great painter, can he make his son also a painter, and at that, great too like him? A businessman can bequeath his organization to his son, but has he made the son equal to the task he is going to inherit? We see great organizations and establishments which disappeared when they passed into the hands of crafty or craft-less offspring. We have this equation before us: Wealthy parents have sons and daughters who squander wealth and prove good for nothing and the establishment crumbles as soon as the father is gone. We also have another equation. When the parents are financially weak, and suffer indignities in society because of their poverty, the sons and daughters work hard and rise to high positions. These are far better specimens of humanity, who have seen poverty and who have struggled hard to gain position in society.

Creating Artificial Scarcity

I feel every father who has wealth should not lavish it on his son or daughter. He must create an artificial scarcity for them. Let them feel the pinch and work hard. There is nothing bad in it if he sends his son to work and earn his livelihood, so that he knows the value of being useful to society and learns the art of living with others. This is a world society which we all inherit, and we must know how to share this commonwealth of joy and pain, which are shared for us all. We cannot create young men and women who know everything of plenty and have no knowledge of penury.

When I see fathers doting on their sons, and mothers killing their daughters, I feel how sinful we are. We are not ourselves, we are a part of human society, where we are expected to add to its well-being. If we are centred on our self, or our family, it is a foolish exercise. And it is being practised on an astronomical scale. Parents are worried only about their sons, and little less for their daughters, provide them every joy, every amenity. So far so good. But what is the result of this doting? Particularly, for the society in which we are living? We are giving to society men and women with twisted sensibilities, women and men who could not grow to their potential, people who were made to choose to be parasites.

If a man has to work hard in life, face many struggles, and suffer so many wants and losses, he becomes humble and wise too. But, when he stops all these forces of correction from his son, and gives him a protective atmosphere, it means that son will never rise to those heights to which his father had risen. When we stop our sons and daughters from facing rough weather, [to an extent, it can be excused] but in order to make them men and women in the real sense, so that they could develop their own capabilities to the maximum, they need to be in the ocean as an independent entity.

Protection destroys their potential. You can just cast a look around and see, how my kids who are under protection, they have to be helped in getting jobs, in staying in jobs, and cannot take independent decisions. It is parasitism of the worst kind. Parents must realize their duty towards their sons and daughters. It is poverty of wisdom and foresight if we end up scuttling their progress and growth as human beings, which is a cumulative loss to human society.
