This article explores the role of verbs of speech activity in language teaching, focusing on methodological approaches for English and Uzbek languages. Verbs of speech activity, such as "speak," "say," "tell," "ask," etc., play a pivotal role in forming meaningful communication, as they mediate the transmission of messages, convey speech acts, and influence the interpretation of discourse. This study analyzes various teaching methodologies, compares differences and similarities between the two languages, and offers pedagogical strategies for effectively integrating verbs of speech activity into language instruction.
