The use of interactive methods in the development of students' oral speech is an integral part of modern pedagogical approaches. Oral speech is not only the basis of language proficiency, but also a criterion fora person's abilityto freely andclearly express their thoughts, to effectively communicate in a social and professional environment. From this point of view, the use of interactive methods in the educational process plays a large role in the formation of students'skillsincommunication, exchange ofideas, and justification oftheirposition. Interactive methods mean the educational process carried out on the basis of equal and active participation of the teacher and students. Through such methods, students have the opportunity to use language in practice through practical exercises, such as conversations, discussions, group work, problem-solving, role-playing. This serves to transform oral speech from thelevel oftheoretical knowledge into areal means ofcommunication. Classes organized using interactive approaches contribute to the independent formation of students' opinions, active participation in discussions, and the development of critical and creative thinking. Such methods are especially important for students studying in a foreign language or in philological fields, since their future professional activity will largely depend on theabilityto conduct effective communication. Also, through interactive methods, students, along with the development of speech culture, gain socio-psychological self-confidence, understand speech errors, and acquire the page322 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue06,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai ability to eliminate them. During the lesson, students learn to listen to each other's opinions, to reason, to be open to constructive criticism and discussion. This contributes to the formation of acultureof communication. In general, the development of oral speech through interactive methods requires a modern methodological approach from the teacher, analytical thinking, and involving each student in active participation.

Dialogic exercises are one of the most effective methods used in the development of students' oral speech activity. Through these exercises, students model conversations that are close to natural communication between two or more people. These exercises contribute to the formation of students' practical speech skills, the development of a culture of social interaction, and the strengthening of their ability to express independent opinion. Dialogic lessons are often organized withintheframework ofa specific topic. The teacher selects the topic and divides the students into roles. Each role represents a personal position corresponding to a specific communication context. For example, one student can play the role of a journalist asking questions, while another can play the role of a specialist answering questions. Through such situations, students learn to express their thoughts correctly andfreely, to respond quickly and logically toquestions. Dialogues ensure naturalness in communication. After all, oral speech often arises in an unprepared form, in a certain environment, as a direct means of communication. Therefore, such exercises prepare students for real-life communication situations, teach them to perform speech tasks such as exchanging ideas, expressing objections, compromising, and justifying their opinion.

Dialogic lessons are also important as a means of increasing student activity in the lesson, encouraging them to actively participate in the lesson process. This creates a lively atmosphere in th
