Keywords: Language teaching, interactive methods, real communication, linguistic competence, intercultural communication, educational technologies. Introduction: In today's globalization process, the introduction of new, effective approaches and innovative methods in the field of foreign language teaching is gaining importance. In particular, the use of authentic materials in the formation and development of students' linguistic competence is emerging as one of the relevant directions of the educational process. Authentic materials are materials created by native speakers for real communicative situations, which have unique didactic possibilities for language learners. Authentic materials, with their structure, content and contextual approach, introduce students to the real language environment, prepare them for natural communication, and also allow them to study language elements in a functional context. This develops not only linguistic knowledge, but also cultural, communicative, pragmatic and stylistic skills. Authentic materials include magazine and newspaper articles, video and audio recordings, advertising texts, blogs, podcasts, interviews, social media posts, songs, films and official documents. With the help of authentic texts, learners learn to understand the real use of the language today, its stylistic features and cultural connotations. This is especially important in the development of linguistic competence, because language is not just a set of grammatical rules, but a complex phenomenon that lives in a socio-cultural context. Authentic texts, correctly selected by teachers, 40 SCIENCE AND INNOVATION IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM International scientific-online conference involve students in real speech activity, prepare them for communication, and encourage independent thinking. Practice shows that classes organized on the basis of authentic materials increase motivation for language learning, increase interest in the language, and serve to master the social and cultural aspects of the language being studied. In this process, students' oral and written speech activity increases, their ability to work with the language, that is, linguistic competence, is further strengthened. Also, through tasks developed on the basis of authentic materials, students develop knowledge about vocabulary, phraseological units, stylistic devices, and subtle differences in the meaning of speech acts. This allows them to deeply understand the language, analyze connotative and denotative meanings, and use communicative strategies. In short, the use of authentic materials in the formation of linguistic competence increases the quality and effectiveness of education. This approach makes the learning process vital, meaningful, and contextual. Through authentic means, learners develop language sensitivity, speech flexibility, and readiness for intercultural communication. Therefore, the systematic and consistent integration of this methodology into curricula remains one of the priorities of modern language education. Main part: Due to the increasing need for learning foreign languages in today's globalization process, the formation of linguistic competence in the education system has become one of the urgent issues. Linguistic competence is understood not only as grammatical knowledge, but also as a set of phonetic, lexical, syntactic, stylistic knowledge, as well as the skills to apply them in practice. In the formation of this competence, modern methods, in particular, the use of authentic materials, play an important role. Authentic materials are texts, audio, video, and other types of information media intended for communication in real life, not specially created for the educational process. Examples include newspaper and magazine articles, radio broadcasts, interviews, film clips, online forums, advertising texts, blogs and posts on social networks. Such materials have the following advantages: they bring students closer to the real language environment; serve to form intercultural competence; teach vocabulary in a natural context; develop communication-based skills; increase motivation, because learners see how the language is used "in real life". Numerous studies have shown that the use of authentic materials increases students' enthusiasm for language learnin
