A SCIENTIFIC-METHODOLOGICAL MODEL FOR DEVELOPING ORAL SPEECH AND LISTENING COMPREHENSION SKILLS OF TECHNICAL SPECIALISTS USING INNOVATIVE ESP TECHNOLOGIES BASED ON AUTHENTIC MATERIALS

Abstract

This paper presents a scientific-methodological model for developing oral and listening skills in technical specialists through innovative English for Specific Purposes (ESP) approaches using authentic materials. The proposed model addresses the critical language barrier hindering the effective integration of Uzbek professionals into global technological processes. It comprises five key stages: diagnostic assessment and needs analysis, curation and adaptation of authentic materials, technology-integrated implementation, interactive practice and collaboration, and continuous evaluation. The model leverages AI-powered platforms, virtual reality simulations, and corpus linguistics to create immersive, personalized learning environment tailored to the demands of sectors such as energy, ICT, and advanced manufacturing. The expected outcomes include enhanced professional communication competencies, increased international collaboration, and strengthened innovative potential, thereby contributing to the sustainable technological and economic development of Uzbekistan.
