THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ SELF- EDUCATIONAL VALUE SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING

Abstract

In today’s dynamic world, traditional formal education often falls short in adequately preparing students for the demands of modern society. While formal learning provides a structured foundation, its controlled nature may lead to gaps in addressing the rapidly evolving aspects of social life. These gaps can be effectively bridged through self-education, offering a more adaptable and flexible approach. Self-education, which emerges and evolves within the formal education system, plays a crucial role in complementing formal learning by fostering necessary skills and abilities aligned with the individual’s value system. Particularly in the realm of foreign language education, self-education thrives within the context of communication, serving as a vital tool for developing linguistic competence. By prioritizing communication as the primary method of foreign language instruction, educators can create an environment rich with opportunities for self-education. This approach enables the cultivation of essential values, abilities, and skills, ultimately enhancing the overall learning experience. In this article, we explore the integration of communication into foreign language education and its profound connection to the development of self-education.
