Integration of education into global community has popularized teaching
and learning foreign languages in our country. Consequently, the main task for teachers in
their students‘ foreign language acquisition is to organize systematic work educate the
growing young generation in a comprehensive manner, and to create all the conditions for
this ( Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan, No. 34 dated
19.01.2022 https://lex.uz/docs/-5831978). One way of consistent implementation of EFL
in the English classroom is by designing lessons starting from simple recall of information
an ending by complex, creative thinking. The implementation of Bloom‘s Taxonomy will
enable English teachers not only to structuralize the students‘ learning types, but also
achieve effective results through clear goal setting. The six levels of the taxonomy
comprise remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The
levels help learners move from basic skills like memorizing vocabulary to more advanced
tasks like analyzing texts and creating original content in a new language thus delivering
better learning experiences.
