ORGANIZATION OF INDEPENDENT WORK OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ENGLISH LESSONS

Abstract

This research examines the theoretical basis and practical aspects of organizing independent work for senior students in English lessons, emphasizing the importance of developing educational autonomy. The focus is on defining independent work, its types, and its role in promoting cognitive skills and responsibility among students. The role of self-directed tasks in fostering autonomy and motivation is highlighted.The research presents practical methods for implementing independent work, such as using digital resources and project-based learning to enhance language skills. The integration of such tasks in preparation for the National Multidisciplinary Test is emphasized, offering specific strategies for improving language competencies, such as grammar, reading, writing, and speaking.The conclusions of the research underscore the significant role independent work plays in enhancing student responsibility, motivation, and academic success. Independent learning not only fosters self-reliance but also equips students with essential skills for higher education and future professional development.Through the use of digital platforms, tailored assignments, and interactive methodologies, students become more engaged in the learning process, which translates into better performance on standardized tests such as the NMT. The study contributes to the understanding of how structured independent learning tasks can bridge the gap between classroom learning and exam readiness, particularly by focusing on personalized learning paths, self-assessment tools, and interactive platforms like Moodle, Google Classroom, and others.
