The Role Of Artificial Intelligence In English Language Learning

2026-09-03T11:11:40+00:00

Artificial intelligence is becoming an important tool in English language learning because it can provide immediate feedback, personalized practice, conversational interaction, and support for independent study. This thesis examines the pedagogical role of AI in developing vocabulary, grammar, writing, speaking, and learner autonomy. A qualitative review of recent research on generative AI and AI-supported language learning was conducted. The findings show that AI can expand opportunities for individualized learning and continuous practice, but its effectiveness depends on teacher guidance, digital literacy, ethical use, and critical evaluation of generated content.

Naming The Hierarchy: Translating Nicknames And Titles Of Rank In "Shaytanat" And "The Godfather"

2026-09-25T05:06:48+00:00

Before a single line of dialogue is spoken, a criminal novel has usually already told its reader who outranks whom — through names. This paper narrows in on exactly that mechanism: how nicknames and titles establish and signal hierarchy within the criminal world of Tohir Malik's "Shaytanat" and Mario Puzo's "The Godfather," and what happens to that hierarchy once a translator gets involved. Malik's characters carry laqab — nicknames built from appearance, temperament, or deed — while Puzo's carry structural titles such as "Don," "consigliere," and "caporegime" that name a specific position within an organizational chart rather than a personal trait. The paper argues that this difference in kind, not just in vocabulary, is the real translation obstacle: a laqab must be read and decoded by the audience to reveal rank, while a title like "caporegime" announces rank directly, requiring no decoding at all. Rendering personality-based nicknames into English therefore demands a different toolkit than rendering position-based titles into Uzbek, and the paper works through what each direction actually requires in practice.

The Structural-Functional Model Of Forming A Moral Worldview In Digital-Generation Students

2026-09-14T08:58:48+00:00

The article develops a structural-functional model for forming the moral worldview of digital-generation students on the basis of the content of history education. The model comprises six interconnected blocks — the target, methodological, content, technological, environmental and diagnostic-outcome blocks — with the composition, function and type of linkage to the other blocks specified for each. The theoretical foundation of the model is constituted by R. Tyler’s logic of curriculum design, U. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, the taxonomy of L. Anderson and D. Krathwohl, and the models of J. Rest and T. Lickona. Comparison with sources from the history of pedagogical doctrines demonstrates the national foundation of the model. The operating logic of the model and the conditions for its implementation in practice are substantiated.

Qusam Sheikh Shrine

2026-09-29T12:52:26+00:00

The article examines the history and architecture of the Qusam Sheikh shrine, located in the village of Pudina, Koson district, Kashkadarya region, 15 km northwest of Karshi. It covers the life and activities of Sheikh Qusam (c. 1198–1338), a descendant of Khoja Ahmad Yassawi, a preacher of the Yassawi order and a teacher of Bahauddin Naqshband, and highlights his role in turning Pudina into a religious and cultural center, including the founding of a school of hadith studies. Drawing on the works of Abdurrahman Jami and Alisher Navoi, as well as archival materials, oral history, and field research, the author describes the sheikh's spiritual heritage and his standing as the "sheikh of sheikhs." The article also analyzes the architectural composition of the ensemble, formed between the 11th and 19th centuries, based on the archaeological studies of R. Abdurasulov, L. Rempel, and L. Mankovskaya: the entrance gates, the mausoleums of Is'haq ota, Sevinch ota, and Mansur Muhammad, the nine-domed mosque, and the district mosque. The ensemble is shown to be one of the oldest and most distinctive examples of Central Asian architecture, stylistically close to the Timurid architecture of the 14th century. The restoration works carried out in 1990–1995 and in 2020 are also discussed.

Designing Integrative-Cognitive Tasks Aimed At Developing The Speech Competence Of Primary School Students

2026-08-31T12:34:35+00:00

The educational process should create sufficient conditions not only for acquiring knowledge but also for students to engage in independent learning, self-development, conduct small-scale research, overcome deficiencies in their speech, and achieve a high level of speech competence. Therefore, the organization of the educational process and the appropriate selection of instructional tools are of crucial importance. In this regard, designing the educational process is considered a primary task. This article examines the didactic parameters necessary for organizing a system of integrative-cognitive tasks and reveals the content of diagnostic indicators that serve to assess the speech competence acquired through these tasks.

The study reveals the close relationship between these methods and cognitive, integrative, activity-based, communicative, learner-centered, and competency-based approaches. It also substantiates the potential of these methods for developing learners’ abilities to identify relationships between concepts, group ideas, understand cause-and-effect relationships, find independent and non-standard solutions, express their ideas orally, and develop reflective skills.

A Pedagogical Approach To Developing Cognitive Skills In 4–5-Year-Old Children Through Children’s Folklore

2026-09-07T08:24:42+00:00

The study examines the pedagogical potential of counting rhymes as a genre of children’s folklore for supporting cognitive development in 4–5-year-old children. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the structural characteristics of counting rhymes –rhythm, repetition, sequentiality, verbal-motor coordination, and rule-based performance –and such cognitive processes as attention, memory, perception, and self-regulation. The study employs theoretical content analysis, comparative analysis, and pedagogical modelling. The findings of the theoretical analysis suggest that counting rhymes may be pedagogically organized not only as material for memorization and reproduction but also as a means of stimulating sequential memory, voluntary attention, verbal-motor coordination, and rule-governed behaviour. A transition from reproductive performance to productive cognitive activity is proposed as a methodological principle for the use of counting rhymes in preschool education.

Contemporary Pedagogical Approaches to Developing Students’ Research Competencies: An Analysis of International Experience

2026-09-29T10:42:03+00:00

Research competence has become an increasingly important component of higher education as universities are expected not only to provide disciplinary knowledge but also to prepare students to identify problems, evaluate evidence, conduct systematic inquiry, and communicate research findings effectively. In this context, the development of students’ research competencies requires pedagogical approaches that move beyond knowledge transmission towards active, inquiry-oriented and research-integrated learning. This article examines contemporary pedagogical approaches to developing students’ research competencies and analyses relevant international practices in higher education. Particular attention is given to inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, research-based learning, collaborative learning, and experiential learning as approaches that can create conditions for students’ active engagement in research-related activities. The analysis also considers the importance of critical thinking, problem solving, academic communication, information literacy, and evidence-based reasoning as interconnected dimensions of research competence. International evidence indicates a broader shift in higher education towards student-centred learning, problem- and case-based activities, and performance-oriented assessment.

The Use Of Exit Tickets As A Formative Assessment Tool In Lower Secondary Physics

2026-09-24T11:20:28+00:00

This conference paper examines the use of exit tickets as a practical formative assessment tool in lower secondary physics. Exit tickets are brief end-of-lesson prompts that elicit evidence of students’ conceptual understanding, reasoning, misconceptions, and perceived learning difficulties. Their value lies not in collecting short written responses alone, but in using the evidence to adapt subsequent instruction. The paper proposes a physics-specific exit-ticket model that combines three complementary functions: checking conceptual understanding, eliciting scientific reasoning, and prompting learner reflection. Sample prompts are illustrated for Grade 7 topics such as motion, force, pressure, electricity, and experimental work. The proposed approach positions the exit ticket within a formative cycle of eliciting evidence, interpreting responses, identifying learning gaps, and planning responsive teaching. Particular attention is given to concise prompt design, diagnostic usefulness, feedback, and the avoidance of purely recall-based questions. As a methodological paper, it does not claim experimental effect sizes; rather, it offers a structured framework that can be tested in future classroom studies. The approach is intended to support responsive physics teaching, student metacognition, and the gradual development of evidence-based scientific reasoning.

The findings show that successful digitalization depends not only on ERP, MES, IoT, cloud platforms and data analytics, but also on process redesign, responsibility allocation, personnel development, investment evaluation and performance monitoring. A coordinated organizational-economic mechanism can reduce transaction costs, increase transparency, accelerate decision-making and improve resource productivity.

Developing Competence In Literary Text Analysis Through Contextual Tasks In Literature Lessons

2026-09-24T11:33:28+00:00

This thesis examines the didactic role of contextual tasks in developing students’ competence in literary text analysis. Contextual tasks are understood as activities that place a literary text within meaningful interpretive situations and require students to connect textual evidence with historical, cultural, ethical, and personal contexts. The study argues that literary competence develops more effectively when students move beyond reproducing plot information and engage in explaining motives, comparing viewpoints, interpreting artistic details, and supporting conclusions with textual evidence. The findings show that contextual tasks promote deeper comprehension, independent interpretation, critical reasoning, and the transfer of literary knowledge to new situations.

2026-08-31T11:17:47+00:00

The article discusses the significant impact of globalization, the sharp increase in information flows, and the growing influence of various cultural and ideological factors on the consciousness of young people; the fact that, under such conditions, the formation of students’ spiritual and moral qualities based on national and universal values is considered one of the urgent problems of pedagogical science; the task of higher education institutions to educate not only qualified specialists but also highly spiritual, socially responsible, patriotic, and morally mature individuals; and the close connection of educating students on the basis of spiritual and moral values as a pedagogical problem with the formation of a person’s inner world, moral views, social behavior, and life position.

Forming Spiritual-Aesthetic Taste In Non-Philology Students Through Muhammad Yusuf's Poetry: Methodological Recommendations And Effectiveness Criteria

2026-09-24T11:25:21+00:00

This article addresses the problem of forming spiritual and aesthetic taste in students of non-philological specialties through the study of Muhammad Yusuf's poetry. It argues that engineering, medical, economic, and agricultural students, whose curricula are dominated by exact and applied sciences, particularly benefit from structured exposure to accessible yet philosophically rich poetic texts. The article proposes a set of methodological recommendations for organizing this educational process — including independent assignments, discussion-based lessons, and creative projects — and, crucially, develops a set of criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of such instruction, moving beyond simple content memorization toward the assessment of genuine aesthetic and moral development.

Generative Ai Feedback And Self-Regulated Revision In Efl Academic Writing

2026-09-07T06:34:47+00:00

The increasing use of generative artificial intelligence in higher education has created new opportunities for providing immediate and individualized feedback on academic writing. For EFL students, generative AI can identify language problems, comment on organization and argumentation, suggest alternatives, and support repeated revision. However, the educational value of such feedback depends on learners’ ability to regulate the revision process rather than accept AI recommendations automatically. This article examines the relationship between generative AI feedback and self-regulated revision in EFL academic writing. Particular attention is given to goal setting, feedback seeking, critical evaluation, revision decision-making, monitoring, reflection, and learner autonomy.

Refining The Methodology For Developing Oral Communication Skills In Future English Teachers: An Innovative And Differentiated Approach

2026-09-24T11:13:00+00:00

The development of robust oral communication skills is a cornerstone of effective English language teaching, yet traditional pedagogical approaches often fail to address the diverse proficiency levels, learning styles, and affective filters present among future English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers. This article critically analyzes the limitations of conventional, one-size-fits-all speaking instruction and proposes a refined methodology grounded in an innovative and differentiated approach. By integrating flipped classroom models, task-based language teaching (TBLT) with tiered assignments, and multimodal feedback mechanisms, the proposed framework tailors instruction to individual learner needs while maximizing authentic communicative practice. The goal is to move beyond controlled dialogues toward spontaneous, fluent, and pragmatically competent oral production. The article argues that differentiation, when combined with innovative technology-enhanced tools such as AI-driven pronunciation coaching and virtual reality (VR) simulations, creates a powerful synergy for accelerating communicative competence.

A Comparative-Typological Interpretation Of The Light And Darkness Motif In The Short Stories Of James Joyce And Nazar Eshonqul

2026-09-25T05:31:10+00:00

This article presents a comparative-typological analysis of the artistic and philosophical interpretation of the light and darkness motif in James Joyce’s short-story collection “Dubliners” and Uzbek writer Nazar Eshonqul’s collection “The Wind Cannot Be Caught”. The study aims to identify the semantic and poetic functions of this universal motif in the works of the two writers and to reveal its national and aesthetic peculiarities. “The Sisters”–“The Unopened Door”, “A Little Cloud”–“The Scent of Mint”, “Araby”–“Art”, “Eveline”–“Momoqo’shiq”, and “The Dead”–“The Dead Season” are examined comparatively. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between light and darkness and such categories as space, memory, psychological state and epiphanic realization. Comparative-typological, hermeneutic and poetic methods of analysis are applied. The study demonstrates that in Joyce's prose darkness is predominantly associated with spiritual paralysis, alienation and delayed realization, whereas in Eshonqul's prose the motif is closely connected with memory, historical consciousness, existential inquiry and the search for meaning.

Historical Development and Modern Transformation Of The Civil Service In Uzbekistan

2026-08-17T04:12:08+00:00

This article analyzes the historical formation and institutional development of the civil service in Uzbekistan, including the experience of public administration during the Soviet period, the processes of state-building following independence, and the legal and conceptual foundations of the modern civil service system. The study employs historical-institutional and comparative analysis methods to examine the evolution of such principles as professionalization, meritocracy, transparency, citizen orientation, and effectiveness in public service. The theoretical framework draws on Max Weber’s concept of rational-legal bureaucracy, Christopher Hood’s New Public Management approach, and Robert and Janet Denhardt’s New Public Service paradigm. The modern stage of civil service development in Uzbekistan is examined on the basis of Presidential Decree No. PF-5843 of 2019, Law No. O‘RQ-788 of 2022, and Presidential Decrees No. PF-95 and No. PF-243 of 2025. The study concludes that, from a historical perspective, the civil service in Uzbekistan can be characterized as a process of transition from various forms of political-administrative governance toward a professional, rule-based, transparent, and performance-oriented civil service model.

Soviet Science Policy During The Second World War And Its Implementation In Uzbekistan

2026-09-15T15:55:10+00:00

The article examines the policy of the USSR in the field of science and scientific research during the Second World War and the particular features of its implementation in Uzbekistan. It analyses the main directions of state policy aimed at mobilizing scientific potential in order to address military and economic tasks. Particular attention is paid to the evacuation to Uzbekistan of research institutions, higher educational establishments and scientific personnel from the western regions of the USSR. The interaction of the evacuated specialists with local scholars and its influence on the development of the republic's scientific infrastructure is considered. Research in the fields of agriculture, geology, medicine, chemistry and industry, directed towards meeting the needs of the front and of the economy, is analysed. Separate attention is devoted to the establishment in 1943 of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR as an important stage in the institutional development of science in the republic. It is concluded that the war years contributed to the concentration of scientific potential and to the expansion of Uzbekistan's scientific and human-resource capacities, although scientific activity was carried out under conditions of centralized state and ideological control.

Psycholinguistic Interpretation Of Gendered Paralinguistic Signals

2026-10-03T11:59:52+00:00

This article examines the psycholinguistic mechanisms underlying the perception, cognitive processing, and interpretation of gendered paralinguistic signals in English and Uzbek communication. Unlike purely pragmatic or sociolinguistic accounts, the study focuses on how listeners' minds decode gender-linked vocal and nonverbal cues — pitch, voice quality, prosodic contour, pauses, and gesture — as part of speech perception and categorization. Drawing on experimental psycholinguistic and cognitive-neuroscience research, the article demonstrates that gender identification from voice is fast, largely automatic, and interacts with higher-level social cognition, so that the same acoustic signal can be interpreted differently depending on the listener's own gender, expectations, and cultural background. The findings suggest that gendered paralinguistic processing is not a simple bottom-up acoustic operation but a dynamic interaction between sensory input and top-down social-cognitive schemas, with direct implications for cross-cultural communication between English and Uzbek speakers.
