CLUSTER APPROACH IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES: Integration of cultural competence in English language teaching and learning
Author: Kushieva Nodira Khabibjonovna
Abstract:
The article is concerned with the contribution and integration of the teaching culture into the foreign language classroom. More specially, some consideration will be given to the why and how of teaching culture. It will be demonstrated that teaching a foreign language is not indistinguishable to give a sermon on syntactic structures or learning new vocabulary and expressions but mainly integrates or should incorporate some cultural elements, which are tangled with language itself. Furthermore, an attempt will be made to incorporate culture into the classroom by means of considering some methods currently used. The main principle of the paper is exploring the role of culture in language teaching and the importance of the integration of culture into the teaching of language. Survey data are often used to map cultural diversity by aggregating scores of attitude and value items across countries. However, this procedure only makes sense if the same concept is measured in all countries. In this study we argue that when (co)variances among sets of items are similar across countries, these countries share a common way of assigning meaning to the items. Clusters of cultures can then be observed by doing a cluster analysis on the (co)variance matrices of sets of related items. This study focuses on family values and gender role attitudes. We find four clusters of cultures that assign a distinct meaning to these items, especially in the case of gender roles. Some of these differences reflect response style behavior in the form of acquiescence. Adjusting for this style effect impacts on country comparisons hence demonstrating the usefulness of investigating the patterns of meaning given to sets of items prior to aggregating scores into cultural characteristics.

Abstract:
An analysis of research on the development of the cluster approach in the republic shows that this issue has received considerable attention recently. Proposals for organizing textile holdings (clusters), combining processes such as yarn production, fabric manufacturing, and ready-made garment and knitwear production, have been discussed. Some studies suggest using the cotton complex as the foundation for forming clusters. In the context of intense competition in global markets within this sector of the economy, textile clusters should be formed in the republic, considering regional conditions and the competitive advantages of individual enterprises. The selection process should be based on market competition. Thus, to realize the competitive advantages of the textile industry, a cluster strategy should be implemented, accounting for both the positive and negative trends influencing its formation and development.

Abstract:
The article examines the role of the cluster approach in the integration of structures in the agro-industrial complex in the production of raw cotton, processing of fiber and obtaining from it competitive final products for the internal and foreign markets. There are also considered features of application of a cluster method in formation of integrated in agro-industrial complex in processing of raw cotton and receiving from it competitive ready-made products for domestic and foreign markets. Drawbacks of low clustering in agro-industrial complex are revealed.
