NAVIGATING THE LINGUISTIC CROSSROADS: TRADITIONAL AND INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGIES IN TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

In contemporary pedagogical paradigms, the efficacious integration of innovative methodologies into the instructional process of Russian as a foreign language remains paramount, especially within the confines of Uzbekistan's higher education institutions. This article delves into the burgeoning necessity of pivoting away from traditional directive models of teaching towards more interactive, student-centric approaches. Such transitions, underscored by a profound emphasis on the functional principles of instruction, aim to enhance the communicative competencies of philology students. Furthermore, amidst the intricate tapestry of language acquisition, the article underscores the inherent symbiosis between mastering foreign languages and articulating thoughts eloquently in one's mother tongue. As global educational standards evolve, a meticulous exploration of efficacious pedagogical strategies, tailored to the unique linguistic nuances and cultural intricacies of Uzbek learners, becomes indispensable.
