TEACHING THE UZBEKISTAN LANGUAGE ON THE BASIS OF A LINGUOCULTURAL APPROACH

Abstract

Nowadays, in schools where education is conducted in Russian, paying special attention to teaching the Uzbek language in harmony with culture is an extremely important method for making lessons more engaging and for developing students’ knowledge and skills. In this process, learners not only acquire theoretical knowledge but also gain opportunities to apply the language in practice and form imagination. Moreover, in such an educational environment, students develop not only their speech competence but also their logical thinking, analytical skills, the ability to compare, and intercultural communication skills. This is because the national and culturally specific words and concepts in the Uzbek language encourage learners to think conceptually. As a result, the learner begins to understand the true essence of the language and fills the gaps that may exist in the process of intercultural communication. Therefore, in this article, we have attempted to sufficiently demonstrate the importance of a linguocultural approach in language education.
