The development of speech activity in accordance with linguistic norms is one of the central objectives of modern language education. Speech activity reflects not only a learner’s communicative competence but also their mastery of phonetic, lexical, grammatical, and stylistic norms of a language. This article examines the methodological foundations of developing speech activity based on linguistic norms. It analyzes key concepts of speech activity, linguistic norms, and their interrelation, as well as effective teaching methods and approaches aimed at forming correct, fluent, and culturally appropriate speech. The study emphasizes the role of systematic instruction, communicative approaches, and learner-centered methodologies in developing normative speech competence.
