LITERARY ANALYSIS AND METHODOLOGY
Mass media is a tremendous source of information for individuals as well as society. Books, magazines, newspapers, records, radio, television, internet media, movies, all of these are considered mass media that reach out to millions at one time. In the upcoming years, the media will become more prevalent. Comprehending media and their impact would be essential to their wise use. Everybody is influenced by the mass media in one way or another on a regular basis, when you read a science paper, when you turn on the radio in the car, when you watch a film on TV, etc. The cumulative impact on culture of all these media channels are enormous; often we are not conscious of them. Despite the arguments about the mass media, the majority of intelligent individuals believe that mass media do a spectacular job in delivering news and informing the community. It is the job for teachers to help learners realize this knowledge, to pass it on to future generations and to attempt to use it for academic purposes. The use of different types of media in the classroom has always been a struggle, and it is more than a challenge how to get media into the classroom. Learners and teachers should be able to access the various media through diverse technologies in their classroom. Media offers innovative and practical suggestions to the teachers and students. It encourages teachers to fulfill their students' different needs and interests. This kind of materials also provide students with a lot of language practice by activities using newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, books, movies and Internet, exercises that improve the ability to read, write, speak and listen. Media facilitates entertaining learners and promote extensive reading English by giving the learners the inspiration and the desire to continue their reading outside the classroom.
DISCUSSION AND RESULTS
TV broadcasting has a great power to impact on people and spread information quickly. They can receive information much more effectively when the sound and image is combined. Differently from radio, television has a different learning strategy: visual and auditory styles are in use at the same time. Therefore, there has been a noticeable increase in educational English language teaching TV programs , as request for learning foreign languages has reached its peak. Involving mass media in teaching foreign languages is one of the eight statements in Presidential decree 1875. The program must aim not only entertaining, but practical , educational and educative

aims as well. Thus, it should be able to keep viewers' attention for a while, teach language as a communication tool, widen learners' world outlook, and bring them up in a patriotic mood. A good English language teaching program producer, has a good experience of the viewers' position. Thus, they can produce useful and able program. Now let's have a look at some successful ELT TV programs of the world. The history of teaching English through radio broadcasting goes back to the World War II in Great Britain. The educational radio program consisted of several sentences, which were read slowly and separately. The translation of the utterances in the language of a learner was followed carefully. The broadcasts hardly lasted more than two or three minutes at the hard times of a war. Even though, the broadcasts were listened by majority of people. Thus interest to develop the program methodologically, pedagogically and in design improved. Further, it started to be used widely by other countries as well.
Since 2012, when presidential decree 1875 on further development of foreign language teaching in Uzbekistan was adopted, English Language teaching level constantly raised. There are eight statements in the decree: Applying international standards; Creating national testing center; Teaching English from the first form; Retraining English teachers; Involving mass media, etc. As written above in teaching foreign languages mass media should be involved as well. Because, it has the power to provide information in eye catching way fast and effectively. Of course, in case it's well produced. Since then Uzbekistan national Tvbroadcasting channels have been trying to create as many English projects as possible. Below we will look through the majority of them. The TV channel "Dunyo bo'ylab" is aimed to int roduce people the world by taking them to a visual tour around the world. Obviously, once we travel the most handy and relevant language is English language. For that reason, on this channel an educational TV program "English for you" has been shown for many years. It is in fact one of the useful TV programs. Further, we will analyze the structure and the process of it. The program is led by Odilbek Shavqiyev who has a very good use of English. English for you in "Dunyo bo'ylab" channel first gives some useful suggestions for learning English such as information about how to use dictionaries( n=noun, v=verb, ad Lesson plan: speaking sightseeing voc, gram pres cont listening text, idioms: adj= adjective etc. ). Links new lesson with previous topic. So the lesson consists of five main parts: Speaking, vocabulary, grammar, reading, idioms.Here are some samples of one lesson. In speaking part the following sentences are read with translations and supported with related pictures: I would like to go on a sightseeing tour. What would you recommend to see?

translation. As for the grammar section "Present continuous for the future tense" is explained and followed by sample sentences with translations. In the Reading part a text related to the topic is read and here Grammar is practiced in context. The last part for idioms related to the topic. Idioms are given with translation and sample sentences. All in all, the program provides an accurate lesson with lots of knowledge. The audience is mainly adults or teenagers. Of course the lessons can be developed by using more communicative methods as well. A big amount of educational TV programs in English are given on kids' "Bolajon" TV channel. In fact, we can observe lots of children learning English effectively by watching this channel. There are a number of colorful and interesting programs. I have investigated them and will provide some details below.
Newspapers are needed to be used in language classes. The use of newspapers in a foreign language classroom has different purposes and ways. They can be used for the culture and language study since newspapers provide a natural source of many written English varieties and national cultural specifics. In academic research, text analysis, stylistics and semantics newspapers can be used as additional material and illustrations when evaluating various styles of texts. The diversity of subjects and issues makes newspapers fascinating and inspiring to collaborate with the students. Newspapers cover real life events and this excites the curiosity of students. Newspaper-based classroom exercises can involve students in pleasurable activities and facilitate their further reading. Several pre-activity and while-activity methods can be used in teaching vocabulary through reading:
• Send students the information in advance; tell them to seek out vocabulary by themselves.
• Clarify some primary vocabulary in the content.
• Sum up the newspaper subject matter.
• Ask students to think what they know about the newspaper object.
• Tell the participants the title and present any corresponding pictures.
• Before reading, outline the key vocabulary.
• Challenge students to guess the plot.
• Allow your students to use the dictionary during the practice.
• Facilitate your students to comprehend the general meaning of the words, rather than to recognize every term.
• Allow the students to add their own understanding of the world to their reading.
• Focus on helping students understand the grammatical structure and make it easier to master the density of details.

CONCLUSION
Mass media play an essential role in improving students' vocabulary competence. This allows teachers to vary assignments and use different approaches to differentiate learners according to their vocabulary level and speed of learning new words. Mass media can help educators to motivate students in learning English language. Media enhances learners' imagination, promotes their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The use of mass media can help with reflective feedback and peer assessment in the classroom. It may contribute to creating engaging atmosphere and supporting learners by each other. Using the media as part of the school educational program will enhance the students' knowledge of English vocabulary.
Monitoring of reading comprehension is carried out using various exercises. It can be an explanation of the reasons and motives, the social significance of an event, people's actions, a generalized conclusion about what has been read, a student's opinion about a newspaper report. Based on the foregoing, the teacher outlines the stages of working with newspaper texts. Newspaper learning vocabulary practices may be fascinating and multifarious. It could be about tabloids, headline variations, articles, categorizing publications, reality check, sharing news, ranking editorials, press conference, news in brief, images, predicting pictures, celebrities, photo stories, visual media, advertising, role-playing commercials, work interviews, horoscopes, TV guides, cartoons, meteorological data matching, special groups of interest, newspaper brainteasers, crossword puzzles and plenty more. With the help of the media, vocabulary activities can be organized through reading comprehension, writing and grammar, critical thinking and discussion.
