Abstract

At present, special attention is being paid to the development of students' speech skills in "Kazakh Language" lessons. In this regard, teaching methods and techniques are being improved, and ways to enhance the quality of education are being explored. The article addresses the development of eloquence in 10th-11th grade students through the cognitive acquisition of phraseology. It highlights the differences between fixed expressions and lexical units—individual words and free word combinations—and specifically indicates what aspects should be emphasized when developing eloquence through cognitive teaching of phraseology. The author provides recommendations for improving communicative skills and speech expressiveness. In this context, it is noted that in developing students' eloquence through the cognitive acquisition of phraseology, it is essential to take into account their psychological characteristics, background knowledge, communicative speech skills, and proficiency in speech culture. The article emphasizes that the development of eloquence through the cognitive acquisition of phraseology should be an integration of theory and practice. It analyzes the works of scholars who study phraseology from a cognitive perspective, as well as methodological works on the cognitive acquisition of fixed expressions. It is highlighted that the development of eloquence through phraseology should proceed in stages: in the preparatory stage, the level of students' mastery of phraseology and eloquence is assessed, and they are introduced to theoretical material; in the main stage, various exercises consolidate theoretical information on the specifics, structure, and meaning of phraseology, and their application is linked with speech situations and motivation theory, contributing to the development of eloquence. Specific recommendations are provided in the article. The phased development of students' eloquence through the acquisition of phraseology opens opportunities for improving their communicative skills and refining their oratory abilities. Cognitive acquisition of phraseology by 10th-11th grade students promotes a deeper understanding of national worldview, expands their background knowledge, and broadens their linguistic and cultural horizons. This contributes to the formation of a linguistic identity capable of freely expressing thoughts, possessing a rich vocabulary, speaking brightly and expressively, and understanding the national code and the underlying meaning of phraseology.
