Ushbu tadqiqot kontentga asoslangan o'qitish (CBL) metodikasining ingliz tilini o'qitishda nefilarat tilida ta'lim olayotgan talabalar uchun samaradorligini o'rganadi. Ta'limni o'zaro mutaxassislikdagi kontent bilan integratsiyalash, CBL til o'rgatishda kontekstli yondashuvni taqdim etadi, bu esa til mahoratini va fanning tushunilishini yaxshilaydi. Maqolada CBL metodikasining amalga oshirilishi bo'yicha so'nggi tadqiqotlar (2020-2025) ko'rib chiqiladi, uning talabalar motivatsiyasi va til malakalariga ta'siri tahlil qilinadi va uning nefilarat tilida ta'lim olish sohalarida samarali qo'llanilishi uchun strategiyalar taklif etiladi. 194 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference Kalit so'zlar: kontentga asoslangan o'qitish, ingliz tilini o'qitish, nefilarat tilida ta'lim olayotgan talabalar, metodika, tilni o'zlashtirish, ta'lim strategiyalari Introduction. In the field of education, English proficiency has become essential across various professional fields. However, students in non- philological disciplines often find traditional language teaching methods disconnected from their specialized studies. Content-Based Learning (CBL) addresses this gap by integrating language instruction with subject-specific content, making learning more relevant and engaging. CBL posits that language acquisition is most effective when students engage with content pertinent to their academic or professional interests. This approach not only enhances language skills but also deepens subject matter understanding. Recent studies have highlighted the positive impact of CBL on student motivation and language performance. For instance, a 2023 study in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain demonstrated that CBI improved English listening skills and increased motivation among ESP students [1, 277-334]. Traditional English courses often focus on general language skills, which may not meet the specific needs of non-philological students. This disconnect can lead to disengagement and suboptimal language development. A 2024 study emphasized the importance of integrating English teaching into non-specialist subjects to enhance relevance and effectiveness [2, 25]. CBL offers several advantages for non-philological students: Relevance: Engaging with subject-specific content in English makes learning more meaningful. Vocabulary Acquisition: Exposure to specialized terminology enhances professional language proficiency. Improved Communication Skills: Applying English in professional contexts develops effective communication abilities. Enhanced Cognitive Skills: Integrating content with language learning fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills. A 2024 study in Thailand found that content-based instruction significantly improved English language performance among undergraduate students in non- English programs [3, 20-30]. Effective implementation of CBL involves several strategies: Curriculum Design: Develop courses that blend language instruction with subject-specific content. Task-Based Learning: Incorporate tasks that require the use of English in real-world scenarios. 195 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference Collaborative Learning: Encourage group work to enhance language use and subject understanding. Technological Integration: Utilize multimedia resources to expose students to authentic language use. A 2024 study explored the integration of content-based and task-based language teaching methodologies, highlighti
