With the advent of modern technology, the tradition of teaching English has significantly changed. On December 10, 2012, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, I.A. Karimov, adopted Resolution PQ-1875, "On Measures to Further Improve the System of Learning Foreign Languages." According to this resolution, foreign language teachers were tasked with introducing advanced teaching methods using modern pedagogical and information-communication technologies and preparing the growing young generation to speak foreign languages fluently. The resolution consists of several points, with the ninth point specifically detailing the use of innovative technologies. According to the ninth point of the resolution: "The National Television and Radio Company of Uzbekistan, the State Committee for Communications, Informatization and Telecommunication Technologies, the Agency for Press and Information of Uzbekistan, and the National Information Agency of Uzbekistan, taking into account the interests and aspirations of children and youth, shall ensure Выпуск журнала №-27 Часть–2_Июнь –2025 198 MODERN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT the following: Preparation and broadcasting of programs for teaching foreign languages to children and adolescents through television, including local TV channels; regular showing of popular science, foreign artistic, and animated films dedicated to the history and culture of other nations, world science and technology, with Uzbek subtitles; significantly increasing the access of educational institutions to international educational and knowledge resources through the "ZiyoNet" network, enriching its resource center with multimedia resources, applications for personal computers and mobile devices, as well as publishing educational and artistic literature in English, specialized illustrated newspapers and magazines, and organizing special sections and supplements for them" [1, 2b]. Due to this, all English language teachers have begun to feel the necessity of using technologies to make their lessons more vibrant. Today, the importance of learning English in Uzbekistan is increasing more than ever before. Several English language specialists are implementing new methods and ways of learning English. This, of course, further enhances the effectiveness of foreign language teaching. Using technology in teaching offers several unique advantages.

Technology is gradually replacing traditional teaching methods. Today, many new programs and shows that assist in teaching English are regularly broadcast on television. It should also be particularly noted that new modern innovative methods of using technology have been introduced in Uzbekistan to increase teaching effectiveness. For example, based on multimedia, students learning a foreign language have gained the opportunity to develop four skills, learning by both seeing and hearing through interesting materials. In addition, students can guess the meaning of some words by observing live actions and try to understand them.

During English lessons, some teachers' inability to use and utilize technologies leads to students getting somewhat bored. Precisely for this reason, to maintain the learner's enthusiasm, using technology and at least a computer during lessons further ensures the learner's increased interest. Indeed, educational materials prepared according to the learner's age, interests, abilities, and comprehension level will certainly be effective. Conversely, if we teachers do not select educational materials based on these requirements, if we play video films, songs, or texts with complex words for elementary school students, or show them through multimedia or computers, or if we show very simple texts as educational materials to middle and high school or group learners, their interest in learning the language will gradually diminish, and they will stop comprehending the lessons. This, in turn, can lead to lower grades and the teacher losing respect in the eyes of the students. Therefore, it follows that the main task is not just to use technologies during les
