In the modern educational system, increasing the level of foreign language acquisition of
students, developing their language skills and increasing their interest in language learning is one
of the pressing issues. In addition to traditional teaching methods, there is a need to apply
innovative pedagogical technologies and approaches.
Innovative pedagogical approaches are important in the modern educational system. In the
process of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL), the harmonization of traditional and
digital learning methods leads to effective results. Blended Learning (mixed learning)
methodology helps to improve the quality of teaching in exactly this direction. This article will
talk about the essence of the Blended Learning method, its advantages and the possibilities of its
application in Uzbekistan.
Innovative technologies are innovations, modifications to the activities of the teacher and
student in the pedagogical process, which necessitates the use of interactive methods in its
implementation. Interactive methods are based on the activity of each student participating in the
educational process, free and independent thinking. Learning becomes an interesting activity for
the student when using these methods. When interactive methods are used, students acquire the
skills and qualifications of independent work with the help and cooperation of teachers. Students
acquire new knowledge on the basis of scientific research, research, conducting experimental tests.

The principle of obtaining knowledge through science is followed. Participants in the
educational process work in small groups. Instructional assignments are given to all members of a
small group rather than to a separate student. The main form of organizing the teaching process is
a lesson. At the moment, various unconventional forms of the lesson are being introduced. Such
classes serve the formation of skills and competencies in order to grow the creative abilities of the
student, strengthen his mental potential, expand his scientific worldview and be able to quickly
and fully perceive each innovation.
The application of innovative technologies in the course of the lesson arouses interest in
scientific research in students, develops creativity and creativity. As a result, the acquired
knowledge, skills and qualifications are applied in practical activities, the quality of mastering
increases. To do this, the teacher must be skilled and plan the lesson correctly, depending on the
content of the topics, achieve active and conscious work of all students during the training. After
all, the teacher is the chief executive of the educational reform. In this, it is important to train each
teacher to be able to master, process and put into practice a very large set of information in a short
period of time. In solving it, the teacher is helped by the use of modern information technologies,
including computers, along with traditional methods of teaching.
Blended Learning is a teaching model that combines traditional audience training and
digital technology-based distance learning. This approach allows students to independently gain
knowledge and consolidate the knowledge gained in the course of the lesson through practical
activities.
The Blended Learning method includes the following key aspects:
• Traditional classes are classes held in the classroom under the guidance of a teacher.
• Digital technologies-the use of online platforms, interactive applications and a virtual
learning environment.
Independent work of students – strengthening their knowledge through lectures, video
textbooks, e-books and tests.
Advantages Of Blended Learning.
There are several important advantages to this methodology:
1.Individualization of the educational process-students will have the opportunity to study
in accordance with their level of knowledge.
2.Effective use of technology – with the help of Audio, video and interactive classes,
educational materials will become more interesting and understandable.

Options For Applying Blended Learning In Uzbekistan
Digital technologies are rapidly developing in the field of education in Uzbekistan. Using
Blended learning in English classes offers the following opportunities:

University of Uzbekistan, TATU and other universities.
• Application of interactive techniques-acceleration of language learning through video
lessons, audio exercises and virtual classes.
Teachers must undergo special training to improve teacher skills – effectively apply
Blended Learning Technologies.
In recent years, the method of mixed learning (blended learning) has been widely used in
World educational practice and is giving effective results. Mixed teaching is a form of teaching
that combines traditional teaching methods with modern information and communication
technologies. In this, students receive knowledge both in traditional lessons and through online
platforms, mobile applications, interactive training programs.
There is also a growing interest in the use of mixed teaching in foreign language classes in
Uzbekistan. This method gives students the following opportunities:
Flexibility: students can master learning materials in accordance with their time and
opportunities.
Interactivity: through online platforms and programs, students perform interactive
exercises, strengthen language skills, and have the opportunity to work cooperatively.
Individual approach: teachers can approach each student individually, give assignments
according to their level, and control the learning process.
Multi-faceted resource utilization: students can use a variety of educational resources,
video and audio materials, online dictionaries, and other tools on the internet, along with traditional
textbooks.
In order to effectively use the mixed teaching method in foreign language lessons in
