ENHANCING PHONOLOGICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS AMONG INTERMEDIATE-LEVEL UZBEK EFL LEARNERS

This study explores the effects of focused instruction on phonetics, phonology, and morphology for intermediate-level Uzbek EFL learners in a private language center. The targeted teaching of concepts such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), word stress patterns, morphemes, affixes, and selected grammar structures aimed to enhance learners’ pronunciation, vocabulary formation, and overall language awareness. Through practical, task-based, and visually supported techniques, the research demonstrates that raising students' phonological and morphological awareness can improve both comprehension and production in English.
