INTRODUCTION
The subject matter of this course paper is to identify the differences
between method, technique and approach of learning modern English which is
one of the most interesting, disputable and important problems of theoretical
methodology of modern English. The study of methods has always been one of
the actual problems in methodology.
The actuality of our research work is to find out the answer to the
questions What to teach? And How to teach? It is noted that in the framework of
the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On education” and the National
Programme for Training in the country, a comprehensive foreign languages’
teaching system, aimed at creating harmoniously developed, highly educated,
modern-thinking young generation, further integration of the country to the
world community, has been created
1
. During the years of independence, over
51.7 thousand teachers of foreign languages graduated from universities,
English, German and French multimedia tutorials and textbooks for 5-9 grades
of secondary schools, electronic resources for learning English in primary
schools were created, more than 5000 secondary schools, professional colleges
and academic lyceums were equipped with language laboratories.
However, analysis of the current system of organizing language learning
shows that learning standards, curricula and textbooks do not fully meet the
current requirements, particularly in the use of advanced information and media
technologies. Education is mainly conducted in traditional methods. Further
development of a continuum of foreign languages learning at all levels of
education; improving skills of teachers and provision of modern teaching
materials are required.
Later our President Sh. M. Mirziyoyev paid a huge attention to the
educational system of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Especially, learning foreign
language and enlarging tourism system helps our government development. In

this position, methodology is one of the most important part of language
teaching.
There are many approaches and methods for language teaching and
learning. In the last decade, in Uzbekistan, CLT has become popular. This term
is closely associated with CEFR. We would like to associate CLT with learning
through practice, real-life situations, where each single element of the language
is trialed. Exploring the world through speaking orally and explaining in a
written form. It is most important for us language teachers to not think of our
language teaching as a content area of knowledge. We should enable our
learners to be competent communicators

.
The
main aim of the present course paper is to understand CLT, TBL, ALM
and GTM. Although, the usage different kind of approaches and methods in
learning language.
The tasks of our research work are:
- to translate the book which is related to different learning methods and
assignments;
- to analyze the theoretical background of teaching English;
- to study the description of method and activities in teaching English;
- To classify and explain the most important theories of the teaching and
learning process of English as a foreign language;
- to make a lesson plan according to the studied sources;
The main sources of the given course paper are taken from different books
on methodology such as Re-conceptualizing language teaching: an in-service
teacher education courses in Uzbekistan (David L. Chiesa, Ulugbek Azizov,
