This conceptual paper examines how reflective speaking tasks can be incorporated into social and emotional learning (SEL)- based instruction for undergraduate students majoring in Foreign Language and Literature: English. Drawing on the CASEL framework, models of experiential learning and self-regulated learning, and research on foreign language anxiety and willingness to communicate, the paper proposes a four- phase cycle of goal setting, communicative performance, evidence-based reflection and transfer through task repetition. The resulting framework links self-awareness and self-management to specific speaking behaviours, including initiating interaction, requesting clarification and maintaining communication after errors. It also distinguishes the assessment of language performance from learners’ reports of emotional experience. The proposed approach offers a practical direction for refining English speaking methodology, while its effects on proficiency and participation require empirical investigation.

Drawing on comparative analysis of selected works of Uzbek classical and modern prose and their German counterparts or translations, the study explores how semantic, stylistic, pragmatic, and cultural asymmetries affect the transfer of meaning, aesthetic effect, and reader reception. Particular attention is paid to culture- specific concepts, idiomatic expressions, narrative perspective, and the challenges of rendering socio- historical contexts. The research demonstrates that successful literary translation requires not only linguistic competence but also deep intercultural awareness and strategic decision-making between foreignization and domestication approaches. Practical recommendations are offered for translators, literary scholars, and educational institutions engaged in Uzbek–German literary exchange.

The work theoretically substantiates the role of music literacy in pop singing and its connection with vocal technique, intonation, rhythm, and artistic interpretation. The target, content, technological, and outcome components of the model are identified, and their pedagogical conditions are explained. The study proposes a system of exercises aimed at conscious mastery of musical notation, interactive methods, and digital tools. The results of the pedagogical experiment confirmed the model’s effectiveness in developing students’ musical thinking, independent work skills, and stage performance. The research findings are recommended for effective use in the teaching of pop vocals in music schools, art colleges, and higher education institutions.

It considers translation quality not only in terms of grammatical correctness and lexical correspondence but also in relation to semantic equivalence, pragmatic intention, register, and culturally embedded meaning. Particular attention is given to lexical ambiguity, grammatical and morphological differences, idiomatic expressions, forms of address, culture-specific vocabulary, and discourse conventions. The paper discusses the role of AI tools in producing preliminary translations and the importance of human linguistic and cultural expertise in reviewing their output. It proposes a human- centred approach that combines contextual analysis, machine translation, cultural adaptation, and post-editing. The discussion is especially relevant to French-Uzbek translation in educational, academic, and professional communication.

The study analyzes classical and contemporary sociological, psychological, and ecological theories that explain the nature, causes, and mechanisms of deviant behavior formation in young people. The article provides a comprehensive review of strain theory, social learning theory, social control theory, ecological systems theory, and general strain theory, evaluating their applicability to understanding adolescent deviance in modern contexts. The methodological framework for researching deviant behavior is discussed, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches. The findings suggest that an integrative, multidisciplinary perspective is essential for a thorough understanding of adolescent deviant behavior.

Literary works are considered not merely as materials for vocabulary and grammar practice but as cultural sources reflecting historical memory, everyday life, values, social relationships, traditions, and symbols of German-speaking communities. Drawing on the theoretical approaches of Michael Byram and Claire Kramsch, as well as the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, the paper discusses how literary interpretation can support cultural awareness, critical reflection, and intercultural communication. It proposes a coherent sequence of pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading activities, together with criteria for selecting texts and assessing learning outcomes. Particular attention is given to the needs of students of international relations, for whom the ability to interpret cultural contexts and communicate across cultural boundaries is professionally significant.

Particular attention is paid to the significance of abbreviations, popular expressions, symbolic forms, and newly emerging lexical items used in online communication in creating a shared communicative environment among young people. The article also explores how group solidarity, emotional closeness, and generational linguistic characteristics are manifested through Internet language. Using selected examples of Chinese Internet expressions, the relationship between language, personal identity, and social interaction is examined.

Drawing on the semantic analysis of dictionary-attested lexemes, it shows that relations of work, role and status, age, gender, kinship, ethnicity and region are encoded as recurring semantic features which form a distinct social component of meaning. The comparison reveals that the three languages share a common set of underlying oppositions, such as “own vs. foreign”, “formal vs. informal”, “centre vs. periphery” and “experience vs. inexperience”, while differing in the cultural weight attached to them. German tends to foreground institutional and legal aspects, Russian frequently adds emotional and evaluative colouring, and Uzbek gives particular prominence to moral norms, respect for elders and family hierarchy. The findings are relevant for contrastive semantics, translation and the teaching of German as a foreign language.

Using Ch.T.Aitmatov’s novel “And the Day Lasts Longer Than a Hundred Years,” the article explores the lexical, stylistic, and syntactic means of creating an artistic image, ensuring the aesthetic and emotional-evaluative impact of the text. Using stylistic, contextual, and comparative analysis, key linguistic mechanisms of influence are identified and described: the author’s symbolization (the concept of “mankurt”), emotionally expressive epithets and personifications, syntactic parallelism, and psychologism realized through internal monologue and indirect speech. It concludes that artistic style maintains and increases its social significance in the digital communication environment.
