This article provides a theoretical analysis of the psycholinguistic and pedagogical essence of listening comprehension skills. Listening comprehension is defined as a receptive type of speech activity, and its nature as an active cognitive process is examined through the perspectives of leading scholars such as J. Field and M. Rost. The article analyzes internal and external factors influencing the success of the listening process, as well as psychological mechanisms (attention, memory, perception, anticipation). A detailed discussion is provided on G. Buck's two-level model (identification and comprehension levels) and the three-stage pedagogical model (pre-listening, while-listening, and post-listening stages) developed by J. Wilson, J. Flowerdew, and L. Miller. The article substantiates the importance of a stage-by-stage approach, the use of metacognitive strategies, and the consideration of psychological factors in developing listening comprehension skills among higher education students.

This article analyzes the neuropsycholinguistic mechanisms of speech activity and their linguistic interpretation. The speech process, as a complex cognitive and psychological activity of a person, is formed through the combination of brain activity, linguistic units, and communicative functions. The study analyzes the processes of speech production and speech perception based on a neuropsycholinguistic approach, and also emphasizes the linguistic interpretation of the speech process. The results of the article create a theoretical basis for scientific research in the fields of psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and linguistics.

This article explores the linguistic and cognitive aspects of dialogical communication. The study considers dialogical speech as a phenomenon closely connected with human cognition, mental structures, and contextual factors. Special attention is paid to the cognitive processes of interlocutors, including presupposition, implicature, speech acts, and the formation of pragmatic meaning in dialogue. The paper outlines the theoretical foundations of dialogical communication within the framework of cognitive linguistics and conceptualizes dialogue as an interactive and dynamic process. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of dialogical discourse and support the development of linguistic and pragmatic analysis.

The article theoretically explains the process of perceiving human speech and its close connection with auditory and memory mechanisms. It is emphasized that in understanding speech, logical stress, word order, syntactic structure, and the process of comparing speech with existing patterns in memory play an important role. In addition, the theories of scholars such as A.A. Leontiev and I.A. Zimnyaya regarding the stages of speech activity — motivation, planning, implementation, and control — are analyzed. In preschool age, the development of perception is closely linked with thinking, which shapes children’s abilities to analyze, compare, and generalize. Based on the views of scholars such as Ye.I. Tikheeva and B.V. Belyaev, the article scientifically substantiates the interconnected development of speech and cognitive growth in children. The step-by-step development of speech in accordance with children’s age characteristics — the expansion of vocabulary, acquisition of grammatical structures, and use of syntactic patterns — is also widely discussed. The article highlights the development of children’s speech in a social environment, through communication with adults and peers, and the importance of improving speech skills in family and preschool education settings. In conclusion, speech development in preschool age is a decisive factor in a child’s overall psychological development and success in the educational process, and it also serves as an important foundation for developing the ability to learn foreign languages.

The article emphasizes Integrating innovative methods in assessing language ability of learners are critical part of language teaching and learning. The present paper is dedicated to explore integration of digital platform “Flipgrid” where instructor posted tasks and students answer in video format. This innovative tool allowed to process students learning about the content. Students recorded videos were peer and self-assessed with follow-up teacher’s feedback relying on rubric (Grammar and Vocabulary, Discourse Management, Pronunciation, Interactive Communication).

This article analyzes the role of taxonomy in the process of developing pragmatic competence. In language teaching, not only grammatical knowledge but also the contextual and cultural aspects of communication are considered important. Pragmatic competence shapes students' ability to use language correctly and appropriately in different situations. The results of the study also show that through methodology based on taxonomy, a deeper understanding of pragmatics can be achieved. Based on this, the article includes both theoretical and practical recommendations for teachers.

The article discusses the question of what is nominal. The data of scientists describing the quantitative statistics of the nominative vocabulary development in speech ontogeny are given.

This article discusses the study of language, both native and foreign, - a personal need that manifests itself in social interaction and communication. The success of communication depends not only on the desire of the speaker to make contact, but also on the ability to realize speech intention, which depends on the degree of proficiency in language units and the ability to use them in specific communication situations (at the same time, knowledge of individual elements of language in itself cannot be attributed to the concept of “proficiency in language as a means of communication”). These conditions of language proficiency constitute the essence of communicative competence, which has been put forward as one of the central categories of communicative linguistics and linguodidactics.

The given article highlights the typology of texts relevant for translation is a crucial aspect of the translation process. Understanding the different types of texts helps translators tailor their approach to effectively convey the original meaning and intent in a new language. The attempts to create a classification of text types acceptable for solving translation problems leads to the inevitable conclusion that when analyzing a text type, both the translator and the critic must proceed from the same criterion.
