35However, conversation follows certain rules which should abide by them in order make participants feel relaxed and be satisfied with it. Arthur adds that the main purpose of conversation is the exchange of information among people. While communicating, our students may find themselves in different social situations playing various social roles and the main task for language teachers is to prepare them for these real situations they might participate in. This also includes leading students to develop the ability to initiate and sustain conversation whenever it occurs. When students learn a foreign language, they very often build up enough knowledge on their grammar and they enrich their vocabulary at the same time. There is always hindrance that impedes them to speak immediately. Then they acknowledge that they cannot actually use this language to communicate when they want to. Scrivener states that it seems to be difficulty in moving language from passive knowledge into active usage.
Without experience in using the language, learners may tend to be nervous about trying to say things. Actually, they might feel a fear to be seen foolish in front of others, they might worry about getting things wrong or else they may want to evade teacher's comments or correction. One of the best ways of helping learners to activate their knowledge is to put them in "safe" situations in class where they are inspired and encouraged to try to speak a foreign language.
He claims that students' attitude to speaking the language may be affected by different factors from the outside, such as people in close surroundings, previous speaking experience in a foreign language or the job opportunities offered after mastering foreign language communication [2, c. 1246].
Success is also based on students' willingness to learn to speak a foreign language, which may be influenced by the teacher's methods used in teaching communication and above all, his or her personality.
Students' personalities also play an important role in determining how quickly and correctly they will manage a speaking task. Those who are shy may take a long time to speak confidently, but when they finally manage it, their English contains fewer errors. The aim of both types of students is the same, indeed - to use the language correctly and fluently.

Keywords: ICT, traditional approach, activity, communication, student, teacher, method, second language, vocabulary, computer application.
The primary aim of this article is to demonstrate the importance of advanced technologies in teaching and acquiring the English languages. "A new age demands a new paradigm"- Walter McKenzie. People even couldn't imagine about technological changes in a sphere of teaching 100 years ago. I can deliberately claim that new means of gadgets have influenced not only on science itself, but also on teaching a second language. ICT has made a process of lessons more easy and interesting both for teachers and students.
"With the help of technology, teachers will be leaders in the transformation of education around the world"-Craig R.Barrett. There are a number of advantages of leading ICT-based lesson, while teaching and learning English. It is a truth universally acknowledged that English has become a pivotal means of communication in a number of domains. Although English is a native language of British, it has been established as a second language in many country, namely in India, Nigeria, Ghana and so on. Thus there is a high percentage of demand for
acquiring this language all over the world. During the past periods, there have been a plenty amount of changes in teaching and learning the English language. Nowadays traditional approach of teaching of any foreign languages is being severely discussed by experienced pedagogues. A majority of educationalists underpin untraditional method.
The most distinguishing features of contemporary approaches are listed below: 1) Development of audiolingual skills. It takes fundamental place in the development of language skills of ESL students. People, who hold this statement, claim that listening and speaking are essential in structuring students' prior knowledge. To illustrate, babies first start to speak through listening rather than writing or reading. 2) Improvement of verbal skills. Here teachers are expected to drill students' pronunciation and native-like sentence patterns. To execute this purpose a student should have some adequate model of speech. 3) Using ICT during the class is the most distinguishing feature of untraditional method. Teachers should utilize advanced technologies in order to develop students' stimulus to learn English.
Firstly, the CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) has significantly influenced on teaching by broad and an ever altering discipline. Beatty explains, CALL as "Any process in which a learner uses a computer and a result improves his or her language and it covers the wide range of current practice in the field". "The internet and different computer applications have recently become common in a majority of English classrooms, because they can act as a stimulus which generates analysis, discussion and writing.
Morever, teachers of English should use advanced technologies during the lesson. Students enjoy using social media in English classrooms.
Social networking as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram might help to have interesting conversation online. The students' relationship with websites is more noticeable than with print based text Internet users may return to sites frequently or use internet for interaction to share their information and ideas.
The next significance of ICT-based lesson is modernly equipped classrooms (interactive board, over head projectors, television and etc. It should be mentioned that in 2012, there was validated a law about developing and improving the teaching and learning a second language (English) by the first President, I.Karimov. This law helped to teachers of English to lead an advanced technology based lesson. The government has included ICT as one of the curricula in Uzbekistan's education. The Methodology of English has started a new way of using ICT in teaching [1, c. 62]. When English teachers want to illustrate a presentation or a particular movie to ELS students, they are supposed to use an over head projector or interactive board. The last important role of an ICT-based classroom is audio books. In fact, students of State World Language University enjoy listening classes where teachers use various listening assignments related to their interests. All these convince are created by latest technologies. To put in a nutshell, I pen down saying that ICT's re intrinsic tools in many educational institutions, the role of ICT the scope of teaching. It provides quality learning materials. Along with academic excellence students must have English communicative skills for their prosperous future. Curriculums must be made easy by including technological aids. Students can post their short stories and have comments from their group mates.
In addition, there are a lot of websites and apps (duolingo, Babbel, Busuu and so on) that are functioned to improve communicative skills as utilizing ICT in a classroom is considered to be one of the effective ways to motivate students because it gives an opportunity to practice their knowledge in social media as well. The role of Internet shouldn't be ignored in terms of accelerating the English language. The internet offers the best's way to learn language other than immersion in English speaking.
