Features of English and Uzbek folklore works and their influence on the development of intercultural communication competence

Abstract

 English folklore is characterized by a rich tapestry of myths, legends and fairy tales passed down from generation to generation. Stories of knights, dragons, and enchanted forests are steeped in English folklore, reflecting themes of heroism, chivalry, and morality. In contrast, Uzbek folklore is steeped in Central Asian traditions, with epic poems, legends about legendary heroes such as Alpamish, and moral values ​​that emphasize societal norms focusing on fairy tales. Studying English and Uzbek folklore can significantly improve intercultural communication skills by developing an appreciation for the cultural nuances, values, and storytelling styles unique to each tradition. By engaging with the stories and symbolism contained in these folklore works, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of the historical, social, and philosophical foundations that underlie various cultures. This, in turn, helps to develop empathy, respect and open-mindedness towards different points of view, and to establish effective intercultural communication and relationships.
