LINGUISTIC EXPRESSION OF NATIONAL-CULTURAL CONCEPTS IN SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE

This article examines the linguistic expression of national-cultural concepts in Spanish and Portuguese from comparative-linguistic and linguocultural perspectives. The relevance of the study is grounded in the intrinsic relationship between language and culture, as well as the manifestation of the national worldview through lexical, phraseological, paremiological, and metaphorical units. The study analyzes the linguistic expression of concepts carrying national-cultural significance—such as "home/family," "work," "luck," "friendship," "religion," "Homeland," and "human relationships"—in both Spanish and Portuguese. The research methodology incorporates comparative, descriptive, semantic, linguocultural, conceptual, and contextual analysis techniques. The results indicate that while Spanish and Portuguese share similar conceptual models stemming from common historical and cultural experiences, there are significant differences in their specific linguistic realizations, metaphorical imagery, pragmatic characteristics, and associated national connotations. Paremiological units, in particular, emerge as vital linguistic tools for expressing the national worldview. The findings hold practical significance for comparative linguistics, linguocultural studies, translation studies, and the teaching methodology of Spanish and Portuguese.

USING DIGITAL ASSESSMENT TOOLS IN HISTORY LESSONS: THE EXAMPLE OF THE PLICKERS PLATFORM

This article discusses the pedagogical possibilities of using digital assessment tools for quick and objective assessment of students' knowledge in history lessons. In particular, the mechanism of operation of the Plickers platform, the methodology for using it in teaching history, its advantages and some limitations are analyzed. The research used methods of pedagogical observation, analysis of scientific and methodological literature, comparison, and modeling of a model lesson situation. The stages of organizing formative assessment using Plickers were developed on the examples of the topics "Amir Temur's State", "World War I", "World War II", and "Europe in the Middle Ages". According to the results of the analysis, the platform allows you to increase student activity in the lesson, determine the level of mastery of the topic in real time, save individual results, and justify the teacher's subsequent pedagogical decisions. Since Plickers does not require a separate mobile device from students, it is a convenient digital assessment tool that can be used even in classes with limited technical capabilities.

AI-BASED VOCABULARY LEARNING: ENHANCING ENGLISH LEXICAL COMPETENCE THROUGH CHATGPT AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in higher education, reshaping the ways in which students acquire knowledge and develop language skills. Among recent AI-driven innovations, ChatGPT has attracted considerable attention for its ability to facilitate interactive, personalized, and context-sensitive language learning. Vocabulary knowledge, as a fundamental component of lexical competence, plays a central role in learners' communicative ability, reading comprehension, writing proficiency, and overall language development. Despite growing interest in AI-assisted language learning, empirical research examining the contribution of ChatGPT to vocabulary development remains limited, particularly within the context of higher education in developing countries. The present study investigates the potential of ChatGPT as an instructional tool for enhancing English lexical competence among university students. Specifically, the study explores how AI-assisted vocabulary learning supports vocabulary acquisition, contextual word usage, collocation development, lexical retention, and learner autonomy. Employing a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, the research proposes comparing students who receive ChatGPT-supported vocabulary instruction with those who follow conventional vocabulary learning approaches. Data collection includes vocabulary achievement tests, learner perception questionnaires, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data are analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative findings provide deeper insights into students' experiences and attitudes toward AI-assisted learning. The study is expected to contribute to the growing body of literature on artificial intelligence in language education by providing evidence of ChatGPT's pedagogical value in vocabulary instruction. Furthermore, the findings may assist educators, curriculum designers, and higher education institutions in integrating generative AI technologies into English language teaching in an effective, ethical, and learner-centered manner.
