Leksik Kompetence Improvement Through Interactive Methods: A Comparative Analysis
Keywords:
Lexical competence, interactive methods, task-based language teaching, lexical approachAbstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of interactive methods in developing lexical competence among future foreign language teachers. Conducted at Namangan State Institute of Foreign Languages, the research involved 48 students divided into experimental and control groups. Over an 8-week period, the experimental group participated in lessons based on interactive methods such as role-plays, jigsaw activities, case studies, information-gap tasks, and chain-story exercises, while the control group followed traditional vocabulary learning approaches. Pre- and post-tests assessed receptive, productive, and oral vocabulary competence. Results showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in all components, confirming that interactive, task-based, and lexical approach-oriented methods enhance lexical knowledge and its practical application in communicative contexts. The study recommends integrating interactive, context-based, and multimodal activities in foreign language teaching to effectively develop learners' lexical and communicative competence.
