EFFECTIVENESS OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING IN KOREAN LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION FOR UZBEK LEARNERS

This study investigates the effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in Korean language instruction among Uzbek learners. With the growing interest in Korean language due to cultural and economic ties, there is a need to evaluate modern pedagogical approaches that enhance communicative competence. The research adopts a mixed-method approach, involving experimental and control groups of Uzbek students studying Korean. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, classroom observations, and learner feedback. The findings indicate that CLT significantly improves speaking fluency, listening comprehension, and overall communicative competence compared to traditional grammar-translation methods. The study concludes that CLT is a highly effective approach in Korean language teaching for Uzbek learners and offers recommendations for curriculum development and teacher training.
