The study of the noun phrase category is an essential part of language learning for students.
This category plays a crucial role in developing students' abilities to comprehend, express, and
communicate ideas effectively. In this article, we will discuss a comprehensive methodology for
teaching the noun phrase category in Uzbek, focusing on strategies and approaches that enhance
students' language learning experience. By implementing these methodologies, educators can
foster students' understanding and mastery of noun phrases, enabling them to become proficient
users of the Uzbek language.
Teaching the noun phrase category requires a systematic and engaging methodology. Here,
we outline a step-by-step approach that can be adopted by educators to effectively teach noun
phrases to students:
At this stage, students learn to recognize objects and words by their names. Emphasis is
placed on the lexical meaning of words, and students develop the skill to group words based on
their meanings. Grouping exercises based on the lexical meaning of words help students compare
and identify similarities, thereby fostering abstract thinking.
In this stage, students learn to distinguish nouns that answer the question "who" or "what."
They identify words that serve as answers to these questions. This stage enhances students' ability
to differentiate words based on interrogations and cultivates their grammatical thinking skills.

Additionally, students begin to recognize and write nouns with the appropriate letter changes (e.g.,
plural forms).
To develop a comprehensive understanding of noun phrases, students need to categorize
them into lexical groups. Teachers introduce words denoting objects early in the lessons and
identify common signs that are applicable to all noun phrases. By answering questions related to
these words, students grasp the concept of noun phrases. To emphasize the significance of noun
phrases in speech, teachers can select texts from reading materials and instruct students to identify
and read them without noun phrases. By experiencing the impact of noun phrase omission on text
comprehension, students realize the indispensability of noun phrases in effective communication.
In the 2nd grade, students deepen their knowledge of noun meanings, proverbs, and related
nouns. They are introduced to singular and plural forms of nouns, learning to differentiate between
them by meaning and suffix. Students develop skills to convert singular nouns to plural and vice
versa, considering the connection of words in sentences and using nouns correctly in speech. The
topic of possessive suffixes may be complex for elementary students. Teachers can begin by
explaining the lexical meaning of the word "possessive" to help students understand the concept
of ownership. Students learn that possessive suffixes indicate ownership and establish a connection
between the noun and its possessor. Through analysis and exercises, students become familiar with
the composition and usage of possessive suffixes.
In language, there are three persons: the speaker or 1st person, the listener or 2nd person,
and others or 3rd person. As I speak to you now, explaining the topic, I am the speaker (1st person),
and you are the listener. This means there are others who are not currently participating in the
conversation. They are considered the 3rd person. Nouns can be applied in singular and plural
forms. It is known that something can belong to one person or to two or more people. The
possessive suffixes attached to the noun indicate that an object belongs to one of the three persons
in either unity or plurality. For example, the suffix -im added to the word "my book," as you have
identified, indicates that the book refers to the 1st person, meaning the owner of the book is the
1st person. (The suffixes -im, -ing, and -I are also explained in the same way.) From this, we can
draw the conclusion that these suffixes added to nouns are called possessive suffixes, and they
indicate possession.
Possessive suffixes are added to nouns in two different forms: to nouns ending with a vowel
(-m, -ing, -si), and to nouns ending with a consonant (-im, -ing, -I, -imiz, -ngiz, -si). After that, the
students read the rule in the "Uzbek Language" textbook and analyze the table.
Exercises such as finding a noun applied with a possessive suffix from the text, analyzing
it based on its composition, determining the number of persons indicated by the possessive suffix,
adding a possessive suffix to the given noun in the text, and stating which person or persons the
subject belongs to, are conducted. The study of possessive suffixes does not end there. In the
process of studying noun agreement, a noun with a possessive suffix is associated with another
noun. Similarly, in the process of studying possessive pronoun agreement, a noun with a possessive
suffix is associated with the possessive pronoun. This provides knowledge about vocabulary
formation.
Agreement expresses the relationship between nouns and other words in a sentence. This
means that when changing agreements, students understand the connection between words in a
sentence. Work on stems begins after students learn to distinguish between meaning and

grammatically linked syllables in a sentence. Working on words also involves working on the
connection between words in a sentence.
Conclusion.
To understand the words, readers must know exactly which word the noun is
associated with in the sentence. The change of a noun in a sentence with suffixes along with other
words is observed much earlier. In fact, students are practically familiar with the change in word
forms from Grade 1, but they may not know what a word form is. Children are introduced to form-
making (word-shifting) suffixes in the next grade, which they understand serve to connect words
in a sentence.
