TRANSFORMATIONAL SHIFTS IN LINGUISTIC POLICIES AND PEDAGOGY: A DEEP DIVE INTO THE PHILOLOGICAL UNIVERSITIES OF UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

In the context of the 21st-century scientific and educational domain, the intensification of global integration and globalization processes, which are emblematic of progressive development, invariably accompany the transformation of state language policies. Countries are striving for equality in the global arena. The article  delves deeply into the transformational processes inherent to the language policy of Uzbekistan, particularly emphasizing the teaching innovations introduced in the philological universities of the country. The work underscores the multifaceted role of language, notably the Russian language in Uzbekistan's educational context, which transcends its conventional communicative function to address multifunctional tasks of sociocultural, geopolitical, technological, and economic natures. Moreover, this intricate interplay between language and literature is paramount in shaping the linguistic preparation of students, thus fostering a harmonious future generation ready for a multicultural and multilingual reality. The exploration focuses on the confluence of language specifics in the study of literature and the literary orientation of linguistic training, especially within the scope of philological comparative studies at the Faculty of Russian Philology of the Bukhara State university. With the world gravitating towards unity and convergence, this research accentuates the paramount importance of language acquisition, cultural immersion, and tradition understanding as pivotal tools for fostering mutual respect, friendship, coexistence, and an enriched understanding of a diverse, intriguing world.
