INTRODUCTION 
 
Wide-ranging cooperation in the economic, cultural, educational, political 
and agricultural spheres is being implemented between different countries in the 
world. Agriculture is one of the most important economic sectors in the world, and 
special attention is paid to production, joint projects, solving problems in the 
agrarian sector, growing crops, and improving English skills of specialists in the 
field of agriculture. Therefore, the development of lexical competence in the 
teaching of English in specialized fields has increased the need to study the lexicon 
related to the agricultural sector. It is important to carry out scientific research on 
teaching English language, practical application of knowledge, improving skills 
through exercises that develop lexical competence, professional development, and 
improvement of communicative competence based on the results-based approach 
in areas specialized in agriculture. 
Teaching based on a person-oriented approach in world practice (Accent 
Language Center), using criteria for selecting authentic texts specialized in 
agriculture (Content and Language Integrated Learning), forming lexical skills in 
students (English-medium Instruction, task-based learning, language-based 
learning, content-based learning, project-based learning) and scientific research on 
the development of lexical competence is important, it shows the relevance of 
studying foreign experiences and carrying out scientific research on the 
development of lexical competence. 
A complex system of teaching foreign languages is being created in the 
Republic of Uzbekistan aimed at forming a mature, highly qualified, modern 
thinking young generation. Tasks such as "paying close attention to the issue of 
teaching English and other foreign languages, and at the same time, establishing 
education in the necessary specialties and training of personnel on a large scale" 
are defined.”

education system of the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030", during the transition

particular, to organize methodical works, to study foreign experiences, to develop 
educational technologies that meet the needs of the times, the intellectual and it is 
important to demonstrate psychological potential, improve the methodology of 
English language teaching focused on the profession, and train specialists of 
various fields who have thoroughly mastered foreign languages.
