Abstract
Competence in Uzbek composition writing skills is particularly important in determining students’ performance in Uzbek because this will enable the students to improve in their Uzbek composition paper and consequently do well in the overall Uzbek examination in the University examination. Students also use Uzbek writing skills to answer questions in the other Uzbek papers of the University examination. That means writing skills also determine how well the students will perform in all the Uzbek papers. In order to acquire the writing skills in Uzbek, students need to be facilitated by their teachers since writing is only acquired by being taught. In view of the performance in Uzbek in the University examination and given the important role of the teachers in teaching writing skills, this paper therefore intends to investigate how teachers’ pedagogical competencies influence students’ performance in Uzbek writing skills. The teachers’ pedagogical competencies which the paper focuses on are; teachers’ planning to teach, teaching methods, learning resources, classroom management, and designing of assessment techniques to evaluate learners’ performance in Uzbek composition writing skills. The paper seeks to establish whether teachers’ pedagogical competencies in planning for teaching influences students’ performance in Uzbek writing skills in Korean universities. In addition, the paper attempts to determine whether teachers’ pedagogical competencies in teaching methods influence students’ performance in Uzbek writing skills in Korean Universities. The other area of concern is to establish whether teachers’ pedagogical competencies in classroom management styles influence students’ performance in Uzbek writing skills in Korean universities. Finally, it seeks to determine whether teachers’ pedagogical competencies in design and assessment techniques influence students’ performance in Uzbek writing skills in Korean universities.
