TEACHING SKILLS: TRANSITIONING FROM TRADITIONAL TO PRACTICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

Abstract: The use of innovative methods in teaching English to primary school 
students makes the language learning process more effective and interesting. The use 
of new methods and technologies, the introduction of interactivity by the teacher into 
the lesson process and the active participation of students make the language learning 
process more effective. Innovative methods, such as games, multimedia tools, online 
resources and modern communication technologies, allow students to pass the lesson 
more lively and interactively. These methods help develop students' creativity, critical 
thinking  and  communication  skills.  At  the  same  time,  these  methods  create  the 
opportunity  to  ensure  an  individual  approach  to  teaching,  taking  into  account  the 
specific needs of each student. The use of innovative teaching methods, especially in 
primary  school,  increases  motivation  for  language  learning  and  increases  students' 
interest in English. As education systems worldwide evolve to meet the demands of the 
21st  century,  the  transition  from  traditional  to  practical  learning  environments  has 
become not only relevant but imperative. This study investigates the development and 
transformation of teaching skills required to facilitate this pedagogical shift. Using the 
IMRaD structure, the research provides a detailed analysis of theoretical foundations, 
quantitative survey results, and deep insight into the context of Uzbekistan’s education 
system.  The  findings  indicate  that  although  awareness  of  practical  education  is 
growing,  challenges  such  as  limited  training,  rigid  curricula,  and  lack  of  digital 
resources hinder effective classroom implementation.
