Malika Kholiyor Kizi Khidirova , Student Of Karshi State University, UzbekistanAbstract
Teaching a foreign language by means of drama techniques contributes to the social, emotional, and intellectual development of the student's personality. Also, drama techniques help to increase the motivation of both the student and the teacher. The teacher takes into account the needs and interests of students, has personal approaches to them. Each of the students develops according to their abilities. In the distribution of roles from the play, complex texts are distributed among students with a higher level of training, and simple roles among students with less training. This is not a reason to believe that someone showed better performance and someone played not well. Every role is counted. When a reciprocal feedback arises between the teacher and the student, the work will be more fruitful. Such a creative atmosphere allows the teacher to subtly and imperceptibly educate students, monitor their behavior, and correct it. Consequently, drama techniques creates such conditions when a student wants to listen to a foreign speech, speak a foreign language, when he is carried away and feels a sense of satisfaction from what he is doing and what he can do in a foreign language. The article discusses of use of the drama techniques in teaching English, which acts as an effective means of teaching the language and increasing motivation.
