Abstract

This article explores the role of linguistic and psychopedagogical approaches in developing students’ reading skills. The main objective of the study is to identify how these approaches influence the effective formation of reading competence in learners. The research was conducted among 60 students from grades 7 to 9 in secondary schools in Namangan region. The primary methods used include tests, questionnaires, observation, and interviews. Results from the experimental group, where integrated methods were applied, showed significant improvement in reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and the ability to express opinions. Compared to the control group, the experimental students scored 19% higher on average in post-tests. The findings suggest that the integration of linguistic and psychopedagogical methods plays a crucial role in the effective teaching of reading skills.
