Abstract

This article examines the development of free communication skills among students of non-philological disciplines through the use of the debate method in English lessons from a constructivist perspective. The constructivist approach views language learning not merely as knowledge acquisition, but as a social and cognitive activity. The paper analyzes the advantages and application methods of the debate technique based on constructivist theories proposed by scholars such as J. Piaget, L. Vygotsky, and J. Bruner.
