MODERN METHODS AND APPROACHES IN TEACHING ENGLISH IN THE FORMATION OF STUDENTS’ PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE

Abstract

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the special role of education in the life of modern society based on the principles and values of the post-industrial (informed society) period. Currently in Uzbekistan different approaches and methods are used in teaching English to university students: problem-based learning, the case method, the context method, the communicative-activity approach, and others are incorporated into the curricula of universities. At the same time, the general level of mastering the English language by university graduates remains low. A significant increase in the communication skills of students based on the cultural characteristics of native English speakers is required.
