Turkmenistan continues its consistent efforts to improve the national education system, introduce modern pedagogical approaches, and enhance the quality of specialist training. Special attention is being paid to preserving the purity, expressiveness, and national identity of the Turkmen language, as well as to improving the methodology of teaching it at different levels of education.

Recently, a new textbook entitled “Methodology of Teaching the Turkmen Language in Grades V–VI” was published for the country’s secondary vocational institutions (authors: O.Handurdyyeva and B.
