Developing Oral Speech in the Process of Teaching Foreign Languages in Vocational Schools

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: . The article examines methodological approaches to developing oral (speaking) skills among learners of vocational schools in the process of teaching foreign languages. Against the background of the reforms launched in Uzbekistan after Presidential Decree No. PP-1875 (2012) and the nationwide adoption of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), the study analyses why productive oral competence remains the weakest component of professional language preparation. Drawing on empirical evidence from recent studies, the author substantiates a three-stage cyclical model of oral-speech development that combines communicative input, guided interactive practice and autonomous professional speech with continuous formative feedback. Comparative data confirm that interactive, learner-centred methods (role-play, peer evaluation, differentiated and task-based instruction) produce large effect sizes on speaking performance and are therefore most suitable for the vocational context, where occupation-oriented communication is the principal aim.
