A crucial part of communicative competence required for proper language usage in social situations, sociolinguistic competence is thoroughly examined in this review study. The article outlines the fundamental elements of sociolinguistic competence, including linguistic indicators of social relations, politeness norms, register differences, and awareness of dialect and accent, drawing on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and current empirical research. It highlights important obstacles to acquiring this competency, including curriculum that place more emphasis on grammatical correctness than social language proficiency and a lack of opportunity for genuine engagement. The review examines a range of research approaches used in the field, including surveys, performance-based evaluations, and experimental designs, and it provides data from studies showing that specific educational interventions can significantly improve students' sociolinguistic skills. The discussion includes effective teaching techniques, such as using authentic materials, fostering engagement with native speakers, and offering teacher training. The article's conclusion emphasizes the importance of incorporating sociolinguistic competency into language instruction to equip students for effective communication in diverse social contexts. It also urges more study to improve teaching and evaluation methods in this field.

Важнейшая часть коммуникативной компетенции, необходимая для правильного использования языка в социальных ситуациях, социолингвистическая компетенция тщательно изучается в этом обзорном исследовании. В статье описываются основные элементы социолингвистической компетенции, такие как лингвистические индикаторы социальных отношений, нормы вежливости, различия в регистрах, а также понимание диалекта и акцента, опираясь на Общеевропейские рамки владения иностранным языком (CEFR) и текущие эмпирические исследования. В ней подчеркиваются важные препятствия на пути к приобретению этой компетенции, включая учебную программу, которая делает больший упор на грамматическую правильность, чем на владение социальным языком, и отсутствие возможности для подлинного взаимодействия. В обзоре рассматривается ряд исследовательских подходов, используемых в этой области, включая опросы, оценки на основе результатов и экспериментальные проекты, и приводятся данные исследований, показывающие, что определенные образовательные вмешательства могут значительно улучшить социолингвистические навыки студентов. В нее включено обсуждение эффективных методов обучения, включая использование аутентичных материалов, содействие взаимодействию с носителями языка и предложение подготовки учителей. В заключении статьи подчеркивается важность включения социолингвистической компетенции в языковое обучение, чтобы вооружить студентов для успешного общения в различных социальных контекстах. Также настоятельно рекомендуется проводить больше исследований для улучшения методов обучения и оценки в этой области.

Ijtimoiy vaziyatlarda tilni to‘g‘ri qo‘llash uchun zarur bo‘lgan kommunikativ kompetensiyaning muhim qismi, sotsiolingvistik kompetensiya ushbu sharh tadqiqotida har tomonlama ko‘rib chiqiladi. Maqolada ijtimoiy munosabatlarning lingvistik ko‘rsatkichlari, xushmuomalalik me’yorlari, registrdagi farqlar, dialekt va urg‘uni anglash kabi sotsiolingvistik kompetensiyaning asosiy elementlari, tillar bo‘yicha umumiy Yevropa ma’lumotnomasi (CEFR) va hozirgi empirik tadqiqotlarga asoslanadi. U ushbu kompetensiyaga ega bo‘lish yo‘lidagi muhim to‘siqlarni, jumladan, ijtimoiy tilni bilishdan ko‘ra grammatik to‘g‘rilikka ko‘proq e’tibor beradigan o‘quv dasturini va chinakam ishtirok etish imkoniyati yo‘qligini ta’kidlaydi. Sharh ushbu sohada qo‘llaniladigan bir qator tadqiqot yondashuvlarini, jumladan so‘rovlar, samaradorlikka asoslangan baholash va eksperimental dizaynlarni o‘rganadi va muayyan ta’lim tadbirlari o‘quvchilarning ijtimoiy-lingvistik ko‘nikmalarini sezilarli darajada yaxshilashi mumkinligini ko‘rsatadigan tadqiqotlar ma’lumotlarini taqdim etadi. Unda samarali o‘qitish usullari, jumladan, asl materiallardan foydalanish, ona tilida so‘zlashuvchilar bilan muloqotni rivojlantirish va o‘qituvchilar malakasini oshirish masalalari muhokama qilinadi. Maqolaning xulosasi talabalarni turli xil ijtimoiy kontekstlarda muvaffaqiyatli muloqot qilishda qurollantirish uchun sotsiolingvistik kompetensiyani til o‘qitishga kiritish muhimligini ta’kidlaydi. Shuningdek, ushbu sohada o‘qitish va baholash usullarini takomillashtirish uchun ko‘proq o‘rganishni talab qiladi.
