INTRODUCTION
“We need to lay a solid foundation for schooling today.
Because we lost a lot of time. "

SH.M.Mirziyoyev¹

Due to the reforms in language teaching and learning in Uzbekistan in recent years, knowledge of foreign languages ​​has become a priority for all professionals. One of the current issues is to educate the younger generation in the spirit of love and devotion to the motherland, national pride, high morals and spirituality, pride in our ancient and rich heritage, national and universal values ​​through the teaching of foreign languages. Radical reforms in the world education system raise the problem of creating the necessary conditions for students to learn foreign languages ​​perfectly, to express themselves in all areas with knowledge of a foreign language, to develop their oral and written speech in a foreign language.
Organizations such as UNESCO, UNICEF, the European University Association, the European Network for Higher Education Quality are involved in the development of students' thinking in a foreign language, the ability to speak fluently, the formation of intellectual activity, the assessment of their readiness. is being used. The development of these issues in general trends plays an important role in the formation of modern and foreign language skills in the younger generation and serves to increase the creative abilities of students in connection with the problems of modern education.²
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are considered as Mark Twain's masterpiece. In his work he both depicts and criticizes the society in which he grew up and what was typical of it back then: slavery, violence and bigotry. When Mark Twain wrote his novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” in 1876, the status of blacks was a very important issue in the United States.
Mark Twain was born in 1835, in Florida, Missouri as Samuel Longhorn Clemens. He was the sixth of seven children. The family was relatively poor and could therefore afford one slave “only”. Thus, he grew up with a different treatment of whites and blacks. Racist attitudes were nothing unusual for the young Mark Twain. When Twain was a young man, his views were racist. For example, in 1853, aged 18, he wrote a letter to his mother from New York in which he stated:
“Niggers, mulattoes, quadroons, Chinese and some the Lord no doubt originally intended to be white but the dirt on whose faces leaves one as uncertain as to that fact, block up the little, narrow street; and to wade through this mass of human vermin would raise the ire of the most patient person that ever lived.”
Statements like that which would be marked as unmistakably racist nowadays were normal for whites of that time.
In 1862, Twain started his career as a journalist, after he had gathered experience in several other jobs like printer, steamboat pilot, miner and many more which had brought him insight into several kinds of different people. From 1866 to 1867 and from 1878 to 1879 he traveled the world, including countries like France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Switzerland, Germany, Palestine and Egypt (cf. Kirk 52). This surely played a part in contributing to change his views towards other people. Another important factor concerning this issue was his marriage with Olivia Langdon who he married in 1870. Olivia's family was not only deeply religious but also reformist and abolitionist.
His later statements about racial issues proved his change of mind. For example, when he traveled to Australia in 1895, he criticized the treatment of Aboriginals by whites there. He felt ashamed for slavery in his own country and never owned a slave. Twain even had black friends which was not common for white southerners at that time. In September 1899, Twain spoke out on the racist issue in his essay “Concerning the Jews” by saying “I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudices nor caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed, I know it.” Furthermore, one must not forget that Clemens was an admirer of black culture. Bearing this in mind, it is unlikely that Mark Twain intended to write a racist novel when he worked on “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”.
