Abstract
This article examines the linguodidactic potential of Uzbek folk tales as a resource for English language teaching (ELT). Drawing on theoretical frameworks from culturally responsive pedagogy and communicative language teaching, the study analyzes how folk tale narratives, vocabulary, and structural patterns can serve as authentic, meaningful input for language learners. The article argues that Uzbek folk tales not only provide rich linguistic material for developing lexical, grammatical, and discourse competence, but also function as vehicles for instilling national values and fostering intercultural awareness. A theoretical-analytical methodology is employed, synthesizing perspectives from linguodidactics, folklore studies, and language pedagogy. The findings suggest that the systematic integration of Uzbek folk tales into English lessons offers a dual pedagogical benefit: enhancing language acquisition while cultivating learners’ national and cultural identity.
Ushbu maqola o‘zbek xalq ertaklarining ingliz tili o‘qitish jarayonidagi linguodidaktik salohiyatini o‘rganishga bag‘ishlangan. Tadqiqot culturally responsive pedagogy (madaniy jihatdan moslashgan pedagogika) hamda kommunikativ til o‘qitish nazariy yondashuvlariga tayanadi. Maqolada xalq ertaklaridagi narrativ tuzilma, leksik birliklar va grammatik-sintaktik naqshlarning til o‘rganuvchilar uchun autentik va mazmunli o‘quv materiali sifatida xizmat qilish imkoniyatlari tahlil qilinadi. Shuningdek, o‘zbek xalq ertaklari nafaqat leksik, grammatik va diskurs kompetensiyalarini rivojlantirishga xizmat qiluvchi boy lingvistik manba sifatida, balki o‘quvchilarda milliy qadriyatlarni shakllantirish va madaniyatlararo ongni rivojlantirish vositasi sifatida ham muhim ahamiyat kasb etishi asoslab beriladi. Tadqiqotda linguodidaktika, folklorshunoslik va til o‘qitish metodikasi kesishmasida shakllangan nazariy-tahliliy yondashuv qo‘llanilgan. Olingan natijalar shuni ko‘rsatadiki, o‘zbek xalq ertaklarini ingliz tili ta’limiga tizimli integratsiya qilish nafaqat til o‘rganish samaradorligini oshiradi, balki o‘quvchilarning milliy va madaniy identitetini mustahkamlashga ham xizmat qiladi.
