REVIEW
 
To the abstract of the dissertation of Shahaldarova Gulchekhra Sagdievna “Principles 
and technologies for the formation of cognitive competence of students in a foreign 
language (on the example of grades 5-6)” for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 
in pedagogical sciences
The world experience of teaching foreign languages shows that, today, more 
than ever, the introduction of modern approaches, methods and innovative 
pedagogical technologies in teaching and developing the intellectual and cognitive 
abilities of students is relevant. In all types of educational institutions of the 
continuous education system of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the main goal of teaching 
and learning foreign languages is the formation, development and improvement of 
communicative competence, which is based on cognitive skills and abilities. In this 
regard, the research topic is of particular relevance for the methodology of teaching 
foreign languages in secondary schools. The relevance of this study lies also in the fact 
that the formation of cognitive competence has not been sufficiently studied 
methodologically.
It is known that the goal of foreign language teaching at all levels of the system 
of continuing education of the Republic of Uzbekistan is to develop communicative 
competence at the A1, A2, V1, V2, S1, S2 levels of CEFR. and improvement is 
identified as a key goal. In the author's interpretation, cognitive competence is the 
basis of all listed competencies and includes the use of linguistic experience in 
analysis and generalization (analysis and synthesis), linguistic comprehension, 
transformational (reduction, expansion, comparison, comparison, complement, 
merger, contrast) and others. revealed that their actions consisted of performance, 
inference, and evaluation through the study and analysis of their psychophysiological 
mechanisms.
Overall, t
his study has a certain theoretical and practical significance for the 
methodology of teaching foreign languages in a secondary school.
In our opinion, it is 
necessary to describe in more detail the system of simulation, transformation and 
communication exercises. This remark does not detract from the significance of the 
research conducted by the dissertation candidate.
In 
my 
consideration, 
t
he 
abstract 
deserves 
a 
positive
assessment and its author Shahaldarova Gulchekhra Sagdievna deserves to be 
awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Pedagogical Sciences 13.00.02 - 
Theory and Methods of Teaching and Education (English).
