Abstract.
The main goal of mother tongue teaching in secondary schools is to "develop
students' independent thinking skills", that is, to look at mother tongue education from a completely
different point of view than traditionally required. After all, everyone living in a competitive
market economy must be an entrepreneur, an independent creative thinker, able to solve any
problem with his mind, a strong national spirit in thinking. The expected result will be achieved
only when the school becomes a matter of life and death, a matter for the future, the main task of
the whole society.
Key words:
school, mother tongue, purpose of mother tongue teaching, system of creative
tasks, formation and development of creative thinking.
ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ТВОРЧЕСКИХ ЗАДАНИЙ ПРИ ОБУЧЕНИИ
РОДНОМУ ЯЗЫКУ В ШКОЛЕ
Аннотация.
Основной целью преподавания родного языка в средних школах
является "развитие у учащихся навыков самостоятельного мышления", то есть взгляд на
обучение родному языку с совершенно иной точки зрения, чем это требуется традиционно.
Ведь каждый, живущий в условиях конкурентной рыночной экономики, должен быть
предпринимателем, независимым творческим мыслителем, способным решить любую
проблему своим умом, с сильным национальным духом в мышлении. Ожидаемый результат
будет достигнут только тогда, когда школа станет вопросом жизни и смерти, делом
будущего, главной задачей всего общества.
Ключевые слова:
школа, родной язык, цель обучения родному языку, система
творческих заданий, формирование и развитие творческого мышления.
We need to distinguish between two aspects of mother tongue teaching in secondary
schools and its results. These ‒
a) in the process of teaching the native language, to instill in the student the unique potential
of the language, that is, the ability to demonstrate a high level of communicative and practical
value of the language;
b) to teach the student the basics of linguistics in the process of teaching their native
language, to prepare for society a person who knows the rules of linguistics.
Today, the school is officially the first in the field of the native language ("to instill in
students the unique potential of the language in the process of teaching the native language, i.e.
the ability to demonstrate a high level of communicative and practical value of the language"). In
practice, unfortunately, we achieve the second goal ("regular teaching of the basics of linguistics
to a student in the process of his native language, in fact, the preparation of a person who knows
the rules of linguistics for society").
Schoolchildren learn their native language, as a rule, in the natural social environment,
among family members who speak this language, in the neighborhood, in a monolingual

community. Over the years, the native language has become not only a means of transmitting and
receiving information, but also a paramount factor in the formation of national identity. After all,
it is no secret that the native language is the main source of the formation of human thinking, the
development of a person as a person, ensuring his spiritual maturity and perfection. That is why
every nation, every nation, aware of itself in the world civilization, first of all strives to increase
the value of its native language, to increase the effectiveness of its education.
This means that a person's disrespect for their native language will lead to its use, which
deprives a person of national feelings, and the loss of national feelings will lead to a manicure.
Therefore, wherever a person lives, it is better to receive primary and secondary education as much
as possible in their native language.
After all, the state imposes a certain order on the education system, depending on the level
of development of society and the goals and objectives set for its development. This order increases
the socio-economic potential of society (determined primarily by economic, and then by spiritual
and cultural needs), harmonizes the spiritual and educational image of citizens in the pursuit of a
single goal set by the state, to development, "solves urgent tasks." This, in turn, contributes to the
overall well-being of society. The state order is guided by the state of development and integration
of science and education, the level of management, the level of the supply system, the general
aspirations of society and the individual, and is drawn up in a specific document. These include
the Law on Education and the New Development Strategy of Uzbekistan for 2022-2026.
These official documents establish certain requirements for the education system. Indeed,
the requirements of the Law on Education, adopted in 1997, have by now determined the goals,
objectives, types and stages of education, general and content of the order in each subject of
qualification requirements). Since education is a priority of the policy of the Republic of
Uzbekistan, a socio-pedagogical issue of national importance, its main goal is set by the state:
“From the first steps on the path to independence, restore and further strengthen our great
spirituality. We must attach great importance to the goal of improving the national education
system, strengthening its national base, bringing it up to world standards and skills through
adaptation to modern requirements.
"Based on the principle of "From National Revival to National Uplift", the development of
school education should become for us a great national goal, a national movement."
In the education system, the general goal of education is always determined by the state
order. The purpose of education is a single priority of state policy, and this integrity is determined
by the relationship between the state, society and its members. Therefore, the overall goal of
education in our country is to educate a creative and independently thinking personality, whose
spiritual and ideological image is in harmony with the main idea of society. Today, a harmoniously
developed generation is defined as "physically healthy, mentally and intellectually developed,
independently thinking, loyal to the Fatherland, with firm views on life." However, we have one
goal in education and upbringing: to raise our children.
The overall goal of education requires the definition of the goals and objectives of each
subject, which, in particular, is reflected in the goal of teaching in the native language, which is a
vivid expression of our national identity: “The goal of teaching in the native language at school is
to educate a person who correctly and fluently expresses his opinion orally and in writing, having
a culture of reading, able to think independently and creatively, understanding the opinions of

others ‒ a culture of communication and speech”. The goal of teaching in the native language
corresponds to the general goal of education and embodies two of its requirements: the
development of creative and independent thinking skills and, as a result, the development of the
student as a full-fledged adult [3].
This means that the student's ability to master his native language and, on this basis,
develop as a comprehensively developed personality puts a lot of pressure on the teaching of this
science. In particular, as defined in the current qualification requirements for general education in
the secondary education system (Tashkent, 2020), the work carried out in educational
organizations is aimed at developing the necessary skills and abilities of students. The method of
teaching, the content, and the means of education must be oriented towards the clear and
comprehensive fulfillment of these great and great tasks.
It is axiomatic that the spiritual and ideological upbringing of the individual for the purpose
of education is in line with the national ideology and national idea. Because the spiritual and
ideological image of an educated person corresponds to a single and common spiritual and
ideological policy of society, which is the key to the development of society. Also, the issue of
educating a creative and independently thinking personality, which is a key component of the goal
of native language education, is determined by the requirements of the internal policy of the state
and the economic system, the driving force of its thinking.
A competitive market economy requires the education of an entrepreneur, a person with
high creative potential, a person who is able to survive any difficult situation with his own mind,
independent creative thinking, and a strong national spirit. Since the policy of our state is based
on ensuring the well-being and happiness of the individual, the education of the individual cannot
be organized for any other purpose than the one indicated above. In this process, the school should
become the cause of the future of the country, the duty of the whole society. Thus, while our main
goal is to "develop students' independent thinking skills," we need to look at mother tongue
teaching, which is one of the main tools, from a completely different perspective than the
traditional one.
The current qualification requirements for general secondary education define the main
tasks of teaching the subject "Mother tongue" as follows:
1) development of oral competence aimed at comprehending the student's personality,
understanding the opinions of others, the ability to express one's opinion orally and in writing;
2) development of students' knowledge of grammar (phonetics, lexicology, word structure,
word formation, morphology, syntax, writing and spelling, punctuation, speech techniques,
stylistic concepts);
3) the formation of language competencies aimed at developing the ability to express
themselves accurately and fluently, effectively using the huge potential of the native language [3;
7].
If we focus on tasks, then tasks 1 and 3 fully correspond to the main goal of teaching the
native language, and task 2 partially. Rather, while Tasks 1 and 3 require students to learn language
skills, Task 2 requires the student to learn basic linguistics on a regular basis. That is, tasks 1 and
3 are aimed at preparing the child for social life and marriage. Task 2, on the other hand, cuts him
off from his natural way of life. Unfortunately, this can be seen in the teaching of all school
subjects.

Linguist B. Mengliev says: “We all studied physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology
at school. We got five stars from them. But in most cases, we cannot simply install a light bulb,
graft a tree, tell the time from the stars, apply ointment to a wound, or calculate the size of
something. We simply do not understand the circulation of water in the heating system. Why?
Because the education we received was out of touch with life. Not everyone can be a physicist,
mathematician, biologist! Therefore, the life competence of the student should come first” [1].
Like this. We cannot deny a single word of the scientist's opinion. Isn't that the reason why kids
drop out of school?!
How is the teaching of the mother tongue in schools in this respect? There is no beginning
or end, and we are reminded of the many scientific (linguistic) rules that change from textbook to
textbook, class to class. We analyze the text from the thread to the needle, taking out the aura of
the given sentences. But we do not think about the extent to which this "knowledge" affects our
oral and written communication. Bitter but true!
We know that spirit, thought and language are inextricably linked. This shows that the role
and character of the native language and the system of its education, as well as its constituent
means, are invaluable in the education of a creative and independently thinking person. A natural
question arises: Does our society today need an educated person or someone who knows and can
apply a dozen ways to achieve a goal, which of them can be most effective in a given situation?
The grammar rules in current mother tongue school textbooks, such as "Learn" and
"Remember", are over the top. The total number of rules is about 800.
One of the hadiths says: “To teach knowledge to someone who has no interest in knowledge
is to fall into sin, and to teach knowledge in vain is to commit two sins.” Is it not in vain that we
teach our students science?! In the words of Professor B. Mengliev: compulsion to memorize
countless scientific (language) rules "does the child?!

When do we make a distinction between teaching the language of our students and the
basics of linguistics? Until when will we be deprived of the reward for teaching our children
"unnecessary knowledge"? [2; 7]
Certain requirements for the education system in official documents determine the goals,
objectives, types and stages of the educational process. The content of the order for each subject
is reflected in the form of state educational standards (qualification requirements). It is no secret
that the general goal of education is determined by the state order.
This is especially true of teaching in the mother tongue, which is a vivid expression of our
national identity: "The purpose of teaching in the mother tongue at school is to correctly and freely
express one's opinion both orally and in writing. It is about the development of a person who
possesses a culture of reading, is able to think independently and creatively, understands the
opinions of others - a culture of communication and speech.

The spiritual level, morality, level of culture, nobility and, in general, the richness of the
inner world of a person are determined primarily by his speech. The positive or negative behavior
of the speaker also occurs in his speech on the basis of certain linguistic means. In our people, the
proverb "He speaks well, speaks badly" also indicates the positive or negative side of the speaker's
behavior. Sometimes, when we talk a little with people who are very well dressed and well-
mannered, and sometimes with people who are "stars" for us, we may not want to talk about it
again. Or vice versa.
There are many lexical units that regulate the culture of human speech. One of them is
euphemisms.
Euphemisms, which are soft and gentle expressions of words that are inappropriate or
inconvenient to pronounce under the influence of moral and emotional requirements, form a
separate language system. For example, in “The Last Days” by Abdullah Qadiri, a letter to
Kumushbibi reads: “
Sizni va otamni juda sog'indim, agarda og'ir oyoq bo‘lmasam edi, qish
bo‘lishiga qaramasdan Marg'ilonga jo‘nar edim, qudangiz, qayin onamning so‘z(lar)iga
qaraganda, kelasi oyda ko‘zim yorir emish
” (Abdullah Qadiri. Last days)
Euphemisms in writing, such as
og'ir oyoq, ko‘zi yorimoq
reflecting the meaning of
pregnancy, are linguistic units that reflect the national spirit, etiquette and delicacy of our people.
Euphemisms mainly reflect the human psyche, relationships, mutual respect, respect. In a sense,
the correct use of euphemisms cultivates speech and relieves both speaker and listener of
embarrassment. Therefore, caution is required when using them. The correct use of these units is
important for anyone who considers himself a civilized member of society. Naturally, this is an
expression of the culture of speech.
Throughout life, a person learns different languages, depending on the circumstances, as
well as his own mother tongue. Teaching the native language in secondary schools is based on the
speaking skills acquired by students from birth to school, and at the same time, the students'
speaking skills are literary and correspond to language norms.
In short, in the lesson of the native language, the student must be able to read according to
three parameters: correct reading, writing without errors, and understanding of what is read
(heard). It is important to note that the student's "correct understanding" is reflected in his or her
cultural discourse. Cultural discourse is not a direct statement (record) of what is heard, known or
understood from a person, but the transformation of this into norms, i.e. its processing, adaptation
to moral rules. society requires specific analysis and synthesis. Euphemisms are the closest tool to
the reader in this process.
In fact, it is important to keep in mind that the use of pragmatic value tasks in the lessons
of the native language in a general education school is an efficiency factor, and this should be fully
reflected in the content of the native language (programs and textbooks). One of the units of
pragmatic significance for the student is speech euphemisms, which can serve to form and develop
a culture of speech in students.

to moral rules. society requires specific analysis and synthesis. Euphemisms are the closest tool to
the reader in this process.
This emphasizes the need and importance of enriching the speech of schoolchildren with
euphemisms.
