The acquisition of English speaking proficiency represents a multidimensional cognitive-linguistic process, wherein fluency, accuracy, and pragmatic appropriateness converge as core parameters. This paper delineates the intrinsic features underpinning the development of oral communicative competence, with emphasis on psycholinguistic mechanisms, contextual variability, and interactional dynamics. Anchored in contemporary pedagogical paradigms, including Communicative Language Teaching and Task-Based Instruction, the study critically evaluates methodological trajectories and their efficacy in fostering productive speech performance. Particular attention is given to extralinguistic impediments—such as affective filters and intercultural interference—that constrain oral output. The analysis concludes by offering evidence-based pedagogical insights aimed at optimizing the speaking skill acquisition process in ESL contexts.

This article about the concept of "Inoyat" in the philosophical views of Abu Ali ibn Sina and the emphases presented in the comments of these Eastern peripatetic philosophers were analyzed. The concept of “Inoyat” is a term that encompasses the relationship between God, the universe, and man. Abu Ali ibn Sina evaluates the concept of grace as an order of goodness that originates from God. The philosopher focuses on the order of goodness in the world through this term. Farobi evaluates "Inoyat" within the framework of the theory of emanation, good-evil and happiness. The philosopher explains the theory of emanation by divine grace. For the world, which exists by emanation, also partakes of God's existence, and needs the divine will to continue its existence. Therefore emanation shows that grace is permanent. Furthermore, the theory of emanation is the best way to understand the existence of evil. Ibn Rushd considers grace to be a special proof of God's existence. The whole universe was created by God's grace and generosity. The philosopher uses the term continuous creation to express this idea. Therefore, God's grace to the world is endless and continuous. According to the philosopher, man is in harmony with the universe. That this harmony points to God's presence is evidence of grace.

This article explores the multifaceted transformation of personal culture within the evolving framework of the information society. It analyzes how globalization, digital technologies, and mediated communication reshape individual identity, interpersonal relationships, and local cultural traditions. While digital connectivity facilitates cross-cultural exchange and global awareness, it also poses risks such as cultural homogenization, identity fragmentation, and ethical dilemmas, including privacy erosion and cultural appropriation. Drawing upon contemporary sociological and philosophical perspectives, the study emphasizes the paradoxical nature of cultural change in digital environments—offering unprecedented opportunities for self-expression and diversity, yet simultaneously undermining authentic cultural continuity. The paper calls for a critical reassessment of ethical engagement, digital literacy, and cultural preservation strategies in response to these shifting paradigms.
