This paper investigates the role of blogging in developing the lexical competence of university students. Blogging is a dynamic platform that enables students to use English authentically in a meaningful context. By incorporating blogging into language learning, students are encouraged to improve their language skills, and increase the amount of active vocabulary. The current study aimed to the influence of blogs on developing lexical competence, vocabulary growth, and retention. The research employed a quantitative methodology with the experimental design, using pretests and posttests with 412 second-grade students from Fergana State University (FSU). The data was analyzed using mathematical methods, namely Student's t-test and Pearson's correlation. The findings revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group significantly. It can be concluded that Blooging significantly enhances students’ lexical competence, serving as an effective tool for overcoming lexical barriers.
