Developing Communicative Competence of B2 Level Students Through Digital Technologies

The current paper aims to explore how digital technologies assist in forming communicative competence of B2 students how philology students of the Nukus State Pedagogical Institute are in learning process. The research is quasi-experimental in design, comparing outcomes from traditional and digitally enhanced instruction. The results demonstrate that the application of AI-based chat bots, virtual reality (VR) role-play and collaborative digital platforms have significant impact on the enhancement of strategic, sociolinguistic and pragmatic competences, which are the three major domains required for specific context and fluent communication at B2 level. Although both groups demonstrated improvement in ROI with respect to accuracy, the digital intervention is suggested to result in better PER and linguistic performance based outcomes. In order to ensure on-going digital integration in language education, the study emphasizes the importance of teacher digital readiness.
