role than we might realize. If a teacher underestimates their students, it can lead to

feelings of inadequacy and depression. On the other hand, using modern assessment

criteria and providing regular feedback can help students succeed by giving them useful

guidance and building trust between students and teachers. It is important to recognize

that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process, and constructive feedback

can help students improve and grow. In conclusion, it must be concluded that teaching

foreign languages to non-natives can have really hard challenges, especially if even the

teacher is non-native she/he will have to work twice more to learn the topics they are

going to teach more deeply. Importantly, cultural diversity must be taught and the

similarities and differences must be clear. With the help of regular practice, effective

assessment methods, taking full responsibility, students can learn the language

productively which makes students feel happy when they see their students speaking

fluently not only in exams but also with natives with confidence.

Abstract

The process of teaching foreign languages can be challenging for teachers and difficult for

students to learn. Due to various aspects including struggles with finding motivation to learn,

grammatical and usage differences, lack of practical knowledge, both teachers and learners have

caused to face current problems in observing the foreign languages. These factors usually are placed

in developing countries and with their teaching approaches and methods. Effectively tackling the

existing issues in teaching languages plays a crucial role in the development of the pedagogical

importance of linguistic knowledge and exchanging them within the classroom. Having guided, the

accurate and beneficial ways of teaching, namely creating the atmosphere of the target language,

practicing authentic materials, and looking for effective strategies, ensure the process of learning to

be interesting and productive. Generally, uncovering a new language poses significant challenges,

and learners may encounter even more hurdles in learning.

Key words

: teaching atmosphere, authentic materials, motivational approaches, audio-

linguistic methods, student-centered classroom, active practices, evaluating students, operative

guidelines.

Problems of learning multiple languages occurs due to various reasons and each

of the reasons can be solved into positive outcomes by further suggestions in the article.

Firstly, to overcome with the current teaching languages issues, reasons which place

within the classroom must be identified. In teaching foreign language, the biggest

problem for teachers is lack of motivation of the students or showing no interest

towards the language. This problem can be triggered by having boring lessons , owning

lack of confidence and wrong way of teaching the learners.As it can be seen those

factors are the basic and fundamental needs of the learning language if one of them

fails to be in the classroom, students find challenges to practice it which brings lack of

motivation to learn .It is very important to solve these problems and give them an

interesting and engaging learning atmosphere. Addressing this issue starts by

removing the causes of this problem. To start with, the first reason of losing motivation

is uninteresting lessons which is brought by traditional way of teaching the language.

Nowadays, modern ways of educating multiple languages are taking over the

conventional methods like grammar translations methods, teacher- centered

approaches are being limited. Instead using new techniques of teaching languages

brings more encouraging and compelling lessons. Paying more attention to students

being active in the class is very important rather than engaging in teacher-centered

lessons. To accomplish this way of teaching teachers are required to focus on more

intensive and student -centered approach of organizing the lesson. Having given

examples of article of TEAL Center staff authors the student-centered classroom

involves changes in the roles and responsibilities of learners and instructors, in the

delivery of instructional strategies, and in learning itself; these all differ from those in

the traditional, teacher-center classroom. In the student-centered classroom, the learner

requires individualization, interaction, and integration. Individualization ensures that

learners are empowered to create their own activities and select their own authentic

materials. Below are examples of the changed roles and responsibilities in the student-

centered classroom.

Learners:

• Are active participants in their own learning.

• Make decisions about what and how they will learn.

• Expand on current knowledge and abilities to gain new ones.

• Recognise what is expected of them and are encouraged to use self

-evaluation

resources.

• Manage their own education to create learning plans.

• Work together with other students.

• Produce work that demonstrates true learning.

Teachers:

• Recognise and accommodate various learning preferences.

• Provide direction while preserving personal freedom.

• Actively listen to each student and respect their viewpoint.

• Encourage learners to make decisions together.

• Encourage students to come to their own satisfactory conclusions or answers by

asking open-ended questions to help them overcome obstacles.

Learning is the learner

s active pursuit of understanding.

• Creating information as opposed to just absorbing it; events both mould and mould

us.

As these examples and explanation provided valuable evidences that by involving

student -centered teaching approach students will be able to show themselves and can

get motivated to further achievements. Moreover, day by day interest and desire to

learn and participate in interesting lessons bring learners high confidence and self-

esteem which solves our primary issue.

In many cases, the biggest issue of teaching foreign languages for non -natives

is not having enough relation and atmosphere of this target language. In other words,

learning languages can be difficult for those who do not live in the particular country

which its languages are being taught. For example, if English is being taught in Asian

schools these learners face some challenges relating to lack of feeling in realization of

the actual language. The reason is the most of the teachers also are not native speakers

of the language. Apart from that, only having people around you who only speak in

your native language limits students potential practical experiences in the target

language. In the learning process providing genuine atmosphere of language has vital

role in enriching desired content and achievements for both teachers and learners.As

we come to find a solution for this statement, using authentic materials in the lessons

and outside the classroom can be the beneficial way . Not only within the classroom

but outside if teachers become aware of their students

routines and activities, they may

actively require learners to have some authentic materials in their lifetime and this way

helps to create pretended language atmosphere. Once learners

surroundings have

covered the usage of target language, the ability of obtaining the foreign language

becomes straightforward task. To prove, if two English learners are compared, one was

not born but has brought up in English speaking countries surrounded by the language

users and the another one is practicing the language within his own country, which one

do you think has better language skills in English? Apparently, the fist learner who has

the real atmosphere of English. So, does it mean students who are not involved into

this atmosphere will be always losers? Of course, no, by not only having enough

teaching materials but utilizing authentic resources to enhance and make learners

progress real and joy, learners easly will be able to practice and improve their language

skills. In addition , trying to exchange students lifestyle into target language culture or

habits like changing their phone language into aimed language or regulating their days

by using this language assists to build up natural learning atmosphere. In this case we

use authentic materials which are not created to teach the language but practice it as

the natives in daily use. According to the review of M.Juraeva, G.Abdukadirova,

Uzbekistan state university of world languages

In today

s globalizing era the

importance of educational quality that needs to be modernized is more compulsory than

ever before. To reach this quality, more effective, creative and valid approaches should

be taken. As well as, regarding the language learning classes, authentic atmosphere of

target language should be created with the usage of authentic materials. So if the

language learning process is continued with the only means of textbooks it may take a

lifelong learning to master the target language. Benefits of using authentic materials in

language skills Students surely benefit to enhance their all four aspects with the usage

of authentic materials. According to Aytunga Oguz and H.Ozge Bahar authentic

materials can be grouped because of their characteristics. They classify these materials

into four group:

• Listening and watching: movies, cartoons, quiz shows, music, documentary films;

• For visual: pictures, photos, postcards, posters

• For reading: novels, newspaper articles, research papers, brochures

• Real materials that can be used in

language classes: dolls, puppets, masks.

Additionally, some other useful information is given in various reliable resources

and all of them support using authentic materials in their classroom. But how we can

find or choose them to teach our students? Answer is easy not all authentic materials

are considered to be beneficial for students so we have to find the ones which really

are used in necessary content of the life of native speakers. As their review includes it

says

How to select authentic materials? According to some researches even authentic

materials should be selected appropriately as they are endless on type. According to

Sacha Anthony Berardo the most commonly used resources are media: films, TV,

videos, magazines, newspaper and books. He states that among all source

s internet is

the one which is widely used. Even using the radio is easy, but understanding it is

difficult. On this occasion pictures and movies are the most fruitful. When press dates

quickly, the information in mass media is constantly renewed. Also, from a financial

point of view internet is cheaper than the paper one: easy to find and purchase.

So

once selected materials are applied to learning process of students, they are likely to

have interesting and captivating lesson which they will succeed in learning the target

language.

In conclusion, we have discussed the problems of teaching non-native students

including lack of motivation and natural learning atmosphere and further covering their

solutions such as engaging more intensive and student- centered classroom lessons and

using authentic materials effectively to boost learners learning skills and make easier

studying for students. In general discovering new language is not easy process and as

learners face some challenges it might be even longer case while methods and

approaches which are mentioned above are used appropriately, students are expected

to achieve higher results and goals.

Abstract

This article explores the use of project-based technology in organizing extracurricular

activities for English language learning in primary school. It begins by highlighting the
importance of English language proficiency in today

s globalized world and the benefits of

incorporating technology into language education. The article then explains what project-based
technology entails in the context of language learning and discusses its advantages for promoting
collaboration, creativity, and authentic language use.

The article goes on to list and describe different types of extracurricular activities that

can be organized using project-based technology, such as language clubs, cultural exchange
projects, storytelling and drama workshops, and online language games and competitions. It
provides step-by-step guidance on how to implement project-based technology in extracurricular
activities and discusses the potential benefits for students, including improved language
proficiency, enhanced communication and collaboration skills, increased cultural awareness
and global citizenship, and increased motivation and engagement in language learning.

Keywords:

Project-based technology, extracurricular activities, English language

learning, primary school, language acquisition, collaboration, creativity, authentic language use,
the Think-Pair-Share technique.

Nowadays, great importance is attached to the competency-based approach

in education. A graduate of a general primary education institution has to form ten

basic competencies, including foreign language communicative competence. The

importance of extracurricular work in English language learning is explained, on

the one hand, by the insufficient number of classroom hours for learning a foreign

language, on the other hand, by the need to maintain pupils

interest to learn a

foreign language. The problem of improving the quality of extracurricular activities

as a means of additional language education for pupils has always been relevant.

Many scientific works are devoted to various aspects of extracurricular work in
