This article explores the role of children's print media in addressing linguocultural issues in foreign language education in Uzbekistan. By analyzing selected issues of Gulxan and G‘uncha magazines published between 2020 and 2024, the study reveals how these traditional publications integrate cultural narratives and basic English language content in a pedagogically meaningful way. The research employs a qualitative content analysis method grounded in linguoculturological theory. Findings indicate that the magazines support language acquisition by combining familiar cultural contexts with accessible language tasks, bilingual texts, and visual aids. Moreover, these materials help foster intercultural awareness and preserve national identity. The study concludes that children’s magazines, despite being traditional forms of media, remain valuable tools in early foreign language education when designed with cultural and linguistic sensitivity.
