Title of the paper : A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODS: WESTERN AND UZBEK PERSPECTIVES

Abstract: This paper examines English language teaching methods through a comparative analysis of the scientific views of Western and Uzbek scholars. The study focuses on the historical development and practical application of major teaching methods, including the grammar translation method, the direct method, the communicative approach, task based learning, and the Total Physical Response TPR method. While Western scholars have mainly emphasized theoretical and conceptual frameworks in language teaching, Uzbek methodologists have focused on adapting these methods to national educational conditions and learners age and psychological characteristics. The analysis shows that traditional methods alone are insufficient to meet modern educational demands, particularly in developing learners communicative competence. The findings suggest that the most effective approach to English language teaching in the modern era is the integration of theoretically grounded Western methods with the practical, learner centered approaches proposed by Uzbek scholars. Such an integrated approach enhances learners ability to use English confidently and effectively in real life communication.
