PHRASAL VERBS IN COMMUNICATION AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES

Abstract

This article looks at how phrasal verbs are important in English communication and their role in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching in Uzbekistan. Even though phrasal verbs are common in spoken English, they can be hard to learn because they are often idiomatic and have complex grammar. The article discusses these challenges from a local viewpoint and suggests modern methods—like task-based learning, digital tools, storytelling, and gamification—to help Uzbek EFL students learn phrasal verbs better. It gives recommendations on how to include these strategies in the national curriculum to improve language skills and communication fluency.
